Raw Blame History

This doc is a WIP and will be expanded shortly.

In the meantime, please consider looking at the extensive docs in the Fasten Docs Repository

Tech Stack

Fasten is made up of a handful of different components. Here's a summary of the technologies & languages used in Fasten:

Frontend

NodeJS v18.9.0
Yarn 1.22.19
Angular v14.1.3

Backend

Go v1.18.3

Misc

Docker v20.10.17

Setup

If you're on a Mac, you can run the following commands to install the necessary software to get setup:

brew install node
npm install -g @angular/cli@14.1.3
npm install -g yarn

brew install go

brew install docker

Running Tests

Before making changes to Fasten, you'll want to run the test suites to ensure that your environment is setup correctly:

make test

# if you only want to run the frontend tests (Angular), you can run:
make frontend-test

# alternatively, if you only care about backend (Go) tests, you can run:
make backend-test

Start Development Environment

To run Fasten from source, you'll need to create 3 separate processes:

Angular Frontend
Go Backend
CouchDB Database

First we'll create a development config file (config.dev.yaml)

version: 1
web:
  listen:
    port: 9090
    host: 0.0.0.0
    basepath: ''
  src:
    frontend:
      path: ./dist
database:
  location: 'fasten.db'
log:
  file: '' #absolute or relative paths allowed, eg. web.log
  level: INFO

Next we'll start the processes described above:


# In terminal #1, run the following
cd frontend 
yarn dist -- -c [sandbox|prod]
# eg. yarn dist -- -c prod

# In terminal #2, run the following
go mod vendor
go run backend/cmd/fasten/fasten.go start --config ./config.dev.yaml --debug

Note: Fasten can run in 2 modes: sandbox or production (prod). In sandbox mode, it can only communicate with test servers (full of synthetic health data).

Now you can open a browser to http://localhost:9090 to see the Fasten UI.

Important URL's

The following URL's and credentials may be helpful as you're developing

http://localhost:9090/web/dashboard - WebUI

Credentials

WebUI:
- username: testuser
- password: testuser

Source Code Folder Structure

The Fasten source code is organized into a handful of important folders, which we'll describe below:

Backend

The backend is incredibly simple (by design). The hope is to remove it completely if possible, allowing Fasten to be served by a CDN or minimal Nginx deployment.

├── backend
│   ├── cmd
│   └── pkg
│       ├── config
│       ├── database                  # contains CouchDB client, allowing creation of new Users (and associated databases)
│       ├── errors
│       ├── models
│       └── web
│           ├── handler               # contains code for API endpoints
│           │   ├── auth.go           # authentication endpoints (create new user)
│           │   ├── cors_proxy.go     # CORS proxy/relay for communicating with healthcare providers who do not support CORS
│           │   ├── couchdb_proxy.go  # reverse proxy for CouchDB api, allowing for database API to be exposed (with limitations)
│           │   └── metadata.go       # API endpoint returning metadata for healthcare providers

FAQ

How do I run individual frontend tests?

ng test --include='**/base_client.spec.ts'
ng test --include='lib/**/*.spec.ts'

How do I change the default encryption key and admin credentials
