This is the working repository of the upcoming new Backoffice to Umbraco CMS.
- Run
npm install - Run
npm run devto launch Vite in dev mode
The development environment supports .env files, so in order to set your own make a copy
of .env and name it .env.local and set the variables you need.
As an example to show the installer instead of the login screen, set the following
in the .env.local file to indicate that Umbraco has not been installed:
VITE_UMBRACO_INSTALL_STATUS=must-installThe development environment is the default environment and is used when running npm run dev. All API calls are mocked and the Umbraco backoffice is served from the src folder.
Note Make sure you have followed the Authentication guide before continuing.
If you have a local Umbraco instance running, you can use the development environment to run against it by overriding the API URL and bypassing the mock-service-worker in the frontend client.
Create a .env.local file and set the following variables:
VITE_UMBRACO_API_URL=https://localhost:44339 # This will be the URL to your Umbraco instance
VITE_UMBRACO_USE_MSW=off # Indicate that you want all API calls to bypass MSW (mock-service-worker)Storybook is also being built and deployed automatically on the Main branch, including a preview URL on each pull request. See it in action on this Azure Static Web App.
