Introduction
Onion is the web client for Ascribe. The idea is to have a well documented, modern, easy to test, easy to hack, JavaScript application.
The code is JavaScript 2015 / ECMAScript 6.
Getting started
Install some nice extensions for Chrom(e|ium):
# Using node v5+, and if you aren't already, preferrably with nvm
git clone git@github.com:ascribe/onion.git
cd onion
cp .env_template .env
npm install
npm run start:dev
Additionally, to work on the white labeling functionality, you need to edit your /etc/hosts
file and add:
127.0.0.1 localhost.com
127.0.0.1 cc.localhost.com
127.0.0.1 cyland.localhost.com
127.0.0.1 ikonotv.localhost.com
127.0.0.1 lumenus.localhost.com
127.0.0.1 23vivi.localhost.com
127.0.0.1 polline.localhost.com
127.0.0.1 artcity.localhost.com
127.0.0.1 demo.localhost.com
127.0.0.1 liquidgallery.localhost.com
JavaScript Code Conventions
For this project, we're using:
- 4 Spaces
- ES6
- We don't use ES6's class declaration for React components because it does not support Mixins as well as Autobinding (Blog post about it)
- We don't use camel case for file naming but in everything else Javascript related
- We use
momentjs
instead of Javascript'sDate
object, as the nativeDate
interface previously introduced bugs and we're includingmomentjs
for other dependencies anyway
Make sure to check out the style guide.
Linting
We use ESLint with our own custom config.
SCSS Code Conventions
Install lint-scss, check the editor integration docs to integrate the lint in your editor.
Some interesting links:
Branch names
To allow Github and JIRA to track branches while still allowing us to switch branches quickly using a ticket's number (and keep our peace of mind), we have the following rules for naming branches:
// For issues logged in Github:
AG-<Github-issue-id>-brief-and-sane-description-of-the-ticket
// For issues logged in JIRA:
AD-<JIRA-ticket-id>-brief-and-sane-description-of-the-ticket
where brief-and-sane-description-of-the-ticket
does not need to equal to the issue or ticket's title.
Example
JIRA ticket name: AD-1242 - Frontend caching for simple endpoints to measure perceived page load <more useless information>
Github branch name: AG-1242-caching-solution-for-stores
Testing
Unit Testing
We're using Facebook's jest to do testing as it integrates nicely with react.js as well.
Tests are always created per directory by creating a __tests__
folder. To test a specific file, a <file_name>_tests.js
file needs to be created.
Since we're using mixed syntax, test files are not linted using ES6Lint. This is due to the fact that jest's function mocking and ES6 module syntax are fundamentally incompatible.
Therefore, to require a module in your test file, you need to use CommonJS's require
syntax. Except for this, all tests can be written in ES6 syntax.
Visual Regression Testing
We're using Gemini for visual regression tests because it supports both PhantomJS2 and SauceLabs.
See the helper docs for information on installing Gemini, its dependencies, and running and writing tests.
Integration Testing
We're using Sauce Labs with WD.js for integration testing across browser grids with Selenium.
See the helper docs for information on each part of the test stack and how to run and write tests.

Troubleshooting
Q: OMG nothing works
A: Try npm install
and npm dedupe
. Someone may have updated some dependencies.
Q: How can I use a local copy of SPOOL and Onion?
A: You should already be set up if you copied .env_template as .env
, however, if you don't want to do this, you can also start your dev server with the following command:
# Assuming your SPOOL instance is on localhost:8000, otherwise adjust accordingly
ONION_API_URL='http://localhost.com:8000/' ONION_SERVER_URL='http://localhost.com:8000' npm run start:dev
If you are using .env
and your local SPOOL instance is not running on the default localhost:8000
set up, you should adjust .env
accordingly.
Q: I want to know all dependencies that get bundled into the live build.
A: npm run build -- --json > stats.json
and upload stats.json
to webpack-visualizer
