yarn install

cd src/formElementPlugins/ && yarn install

yarn serve

Development

• main branch - only has features which have been released (on a demo-tag)
• develop - to be used for development (to create a feature-branch before making a new PR) and selected as base for PRs

The organisation-team will transfer approved changes from develop into the main periodically once all new features are stable and tested.

Connecting to server

In development, by default, the app will try to connect to local servers on http://localhost:8080 (for REST server) and http://localhost:5000/graphql (GraphQl), so you'll need to have the back-end running.

It's possible to connect to a remote/online server by specifying it a local .env file (not committed with repo) in the repo root. An example .env file might look like:

# Angola testing server
# REMOTE_SERVER=https://conforma-demo.msupply.org:50008

# Demo server
REMOTE_SERVER=https://conforma-demo.msupply.org:50000

(Only the base url is required -- the full REST and GraphQL server urls will be constructed in config.ts)

To disable servers, just comment out the line (with # ). When they're all disabled, the default localhost will be used.
