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 v1.22.1

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

# Frontend tests run with ChromeHeadless browser.
brew install --cask google-chrome

# Go specific tools
go install github.com/gzuidhof/tygo@latest

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 test-frontend

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

Note: Running backend tests may take awhile to complete the first time you run

Start Development Environment

To run Fasten from source, you'll need to create 2 separate processes:

Angular Frontend
Go Backend

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'
cache:
  location: ''
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
make serve-frontend

# In terminal #2, run the following
make serve-backend

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). By default, the dev environment will run in sandbox mode.

Now you can open a browser to http://localhost:4200 to see the Fasten UI.

Note: By default in dev mode, you view the frontend server and that will proxy API requests to the backend. It is also possible to build the frontend and serve it from the backend server, but this is much slower to make changes to the frontend.

Credentials

Fasten stores all user data locally, including your account information. That means on first start you'll need to register a new account. Once you've done that, you'll want to go to the Sources tab and connect a healthcare provider.

See Connecting a new Source for credentials to use.

Source Code Folder Structure

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

FAQ

How do I run individual frontend tests?

From the frontend directory, you can run ng test with the --include argument.

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

How do I change the default encryption key and admin credentials

FASTEN_ISSUER_JWT_KEY

Generate JWT for local use

curl -X POST http://localhost:9090/api/auth/signup -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"username":"user1","password":"user1"}'

curl -X POST http://localhost:9090/api/auth/signin -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"username":"user1","password":"user1"}'


curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${JWT_TOKEN_HERE}" http://localhost:5984/_session

How do I work with Storybook?

Storybook allows development and testing of frontend components in isolation. When running the Storybook server, each defined story can be viewed and interacted with on it's own allowing for defining and testing of various states and conditions.

In order to run the Storybook server, run the following command and open the url provided:

make serve-storybook

If you only want to verify that all stories build properly (a check that is run on commits and PRs), you can run the following command:

make build-storybook
