Form Builder Editor creates forms as configuration data for Form Builder Runner.
Node >= 12.4.0
git clone [email protected]:ministryofjustice/fb-editor-node.git
cd fb-editor-node
npm install
The SERVICE_PATH
environment variable describes the location on your file system of the form for Editor to use.
To set the SERVICE_PATH
environment variable, open a terminal and change into the root directory of Runner, then execute the command:
SERVICE_PATH=[path to form] npm start
(Where [path to form]
is a path to the location on your file system of the form. An Example Service form can be cloned from https://github.com/ministryofjustice/fb-example-service
.)
By default, Editor will start on localhost port 3000
.
To run on a different port, set the PORT
environment variable:
PORT=4321 SERVICE_PATH=[path to form] npm start
npm test
npm run lint
Some module paths are aliased.
At runtime they are resolved with @ministryofjustice/module-alias
. (Its definitions can be found in the _moduleAliases {}
field on package.json
.)
During development aliases can be resolved in different ways according to needs of the developer's IDE. A solution we provide is via Webpack, which is supported automatically in WebStorm and related IDEs, or with some manual steps.
At start-up WebStorm will report in the Event Log that "Module resolution rules from webpack.config.js
are now used for coding assistance" if the configuration is automatically identified -- if not, follow the manual steps:
- Right-click on the
lib
directory and selectMark Directory as > Resource root
- From the application menu select
Preferences > Languages & Frameworks > JavaScript > Webpack
then in the right-hand pane use the file browser to selectwebpack.config.js
from the package root
You shouldn't need to restart but it won't hurt.
