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
- CouchDB
v3.2
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
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
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
npm run dist
# In terminal #2, run the following
go mod vendor
go run backend/cmd/fasten/fasten.go start --config ./config.dev.yaml --debug
# In terminal #3, run the following
docker build -t fasten-couchdb -f docker/couchdb/Dockerfile .
docker run --rm -it -p 5984:5984 -v `pwd`/.couchdb/data:/opt/couchdb/data -v `pwd`/.couchdb/config:/opt/couchdb/etc/local.d fasten-couchdb
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
- http://localhost:9090/database - CouchDB API proxy
- http://localhost:5984/_utils/ - CouchDB admin UI
Credentials
- Couchdb:
- username:
admin
- password:
mysecretpassword
- username:
- WebUI:
- username:
testuser
- password:

- username:
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'
