Cloud Insurance Co. - Admin Dashboard

This repository is part of the larger Cloud Insurance Co. project.

Overview

The admin dashboard provides Cloud Insurance Co. administrators with an overview of the ongoing activities on the site. It starts with real-time view on the chat bot conversations providing admins with insights about the interactions between the chat bot and the visitors.

This project is designed with a bunch of awesome new front-end technologies, all on top of a configurable, feature-rich webpack build system that's already setup to provide hot reloading, CSS modules with Sass support, unit testing, code coverage reports, bundle splitting, and a whole lot more, while providing amazing developer tools such as Redux CLI (a generator), Redux devtools (Chrome extension), and Storybook for visually developing and testing components.

In order to deploy the full set of microservices involved, check out the [insurance-toolchain repo][toolchain_url]. Otherwise, you can deploy just the app by following the steps here.

Requirements

node ^6.7.0
npm ^3.10.10

Running the app on Bluemix

If you do not already have a Bluemix account, sign up here
Download and install the Cloud Foundry CLI tool
The app depends on the main website app. Make sure to deploy it first.
Clone the app to your local environment from your terminal using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/insurance-bot-dashboard.git

cd into this newly created directory
Open the manifest.yml file and change the host value to something unique.

The host you choose will determinate the subdomain of your application's URL: <host>.mybluemix.net

Connect to Bluemix in the command line tool and follow the prompts to log in

cf login -a https://api.ng.bluemix.net

Create a Watson Tone Analyzer service.

cf create-service tone_analyzer standard insurance-tone_analyzer

Build the app web site

npm install
npm run deploy:prod

Push the app to Bluemix

cf push --no-start

Define a variable pointing to the main site deployment.

cf set-env insurance-bot-dashboard SOCKET_URL https://your-insurance-bot.mybluemix.net

Start your app

cf start insurance-bot-dashboard

And voila! You now have your very own instance of the app running on Bluemix.

Running the app locally

If you do not already have a Bluemix account, sign up here
Download and install the Cloud Foundry CLI tool
The app depends on the main website app. Make sure to deploy it first.
Clone the app to your local environment from your terminal using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/insurance-bot-dashboard.git

cd into this newly created directory
Create a new Watson Tone Analyzer service named insurance-tone_analyzer using your Bluemix account
Replace the corresponding credentials for the insurance-tone_analyzer and insurance-bot-db services in your vcap-local.json file - using vcap-local.template.json as template file.
Define an environment variable pointing to the main site (which can be running locally or in Bluemix)

export SOCKET_URL=https://localhost:6040

Install the required npm packages using the following command

npm install

Start your app locally with the following command

npm start

This command will start your Node.js web server and print the address where it is listening to requests in the console: server starting on http://localhost:3000.

Development

Root Resolve

Webpack is configured to make use of resolve.root, which lets you import local packages as if you were traversing from the root of your ~/src directory. Here's an example:

// current file: ~/src/views/some/nested/View.js
// What used to be this:
import SomeComponent from '../../../components/SomeComponent'

// Can now be this, HORRAY!:
import SomeComponent from 'components/SomeComponent'

Globals

These are global variables available to you anywhere in your source code. If you wish to modify them, they can be found as the globals key in ~/config/index.js. When adding new globals, make sure you also add them to ~/.eslintrc.

Variable	Description
`process.env.NODE_ENV`	the active `NODE_ENV` when the build started
`__DEV__`	True when `process.env.NODE_ENV` is `development`
`__PROD__`	True when `process.env.NODE_ENV` is `production`
`__TEST__`	True when `process.env.NODE_ENV` is `test`
`__DEBUG__`	True when `process.env.NODE_ENV` is `development` and cli arg `--no_debug` is not set (`npm run dev:no-debug`)
`__BASENAME__`	history basename option
`__SOCKET_URL__`	The websocket endpoint for the main website. It is initialized from `process.env.SOCKET_URL` variable specified as https://host:port.

Privacy Notice

This application is configured to track deployments to IBM Bluemix and other Cloud Foundry platforms. The following information is sent to a Deployment Tracker service on each deployment:

Node.js package version
Node.js repository URL
Application Name (application_name)
Space ID (space_id)
Application Version (application_version)
Application URIs (application_uris)
Labels of bound services
Number of instances for each bound service and associated plan information

This data is collected from the package.json file in the application and the VCAP_APPLICATION and VCAP_SERVICES environment variables in IBM Bluemix and other Cloud Foundry platforms. This data is used by IBM to track metrics around deployments of sample applications to IBM Bluemix to measure the usefulness of our examples, so that we can continuously improve the content we offer to you. Only deployments of sample applications that include code to ping the Deployment Tracker service will be tracked.

Disabling Deployment Tracking

Deployment tracking can be disabled by removing require('cf-deployment-tracker-client').track(); from the beginning of the tracker.js file.
