Gravitational Web Applications and Packages

This mono-repository contains the source code for the web UIs of the following projects: Teleport

The code is organized in terms of independent yarn packages which reside in the packages directory.

Getting Started

You can make production builds locally or you can use Docker to do that.

Local Build

Make sure that you have yarn installed on your system since this monorepo uses the yarn package manager.

Then you need download and initialize these repository dependencies.

$ yarn install

To build the Teleport open source version

$ yarn build-teleport-oss

The resulting output will be in the /packages/{package-name}/dist/ folders respectively.

Docker Build

To build the Teleport community version

$ make build-teleport-oss

Development

To avoid having to install a dedicated Teleport cluster, you can use a local development server which can proxy network requests to an existing cluster.

For example, if https://example.com:3080/web is the URL of your cluster then:

To start your local Teleport development server

$ yarn start-teleport --target=https://example.com:3080/web

This service will serve your local javascript files and proxy network requests to the given target.

Keep in mind that you have to use a local user because social logins (google/github) are not supported by development server.

Unit-Tests

We use jest as our testing framework.

To run all jest unit-tests:

$ yarn run test

To run jest in watch-mode

$ yarn run tdd

Interactive Testing

We use storybook for our interactive testing. It allows us to browse our component library, view the different states of each component, and interactively develop and test components.

To start a storybook:

$ yarn run storybook

This command will open a new browser window with storybook in it. There you will see components from all packages so it makes it faster to work and iterate on shared functionality.

Setup Prettier on VSCode

1. Install plugin: https://github.com/prettier/prettier-vscode
2. Go to Command Palette: CMD/CTRL + SHIFT + P (or F1)
3. Type open settings
4. Select Open Settings (JSON)
5. Include the below snippet and save:

    // Set the default
    "editor.formatOnSave": false,
    // absolute config path
    "prettier.configPath": ".prettierrc",
    // enable per-language
    "[html]": {
        "editor.formatOnSave": true,
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
    },
    "[javascript]": {
        "editor.formatOnSave": true,
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
    },
    "[javascriptreact]": {
        "editor.formatOnSave": true,
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
    },

        "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
    },
    "editor.tabSize": 2,

MFA Development

When developing MFA sections of the codebase, you may need to configure the teleport.yaml of your target teleport cluster to accept hardware keys registered over the local development setup. Webauthn can get tempermental if you try to use localhost as your rp_id, but you can get around this by using https://nip.io/. For example, if you want to configure optional webauthn mfa, you can set up your auth service like so:

auth_service:
  authentication:
    type: local
    second_factor: optional
    webauthn:
      rp_id: proxy.0.0.0.0.nip.io

proxy_service:
  enabled: yes
  # setting public_addr is optional, useful if using different port e.g. 8080 instead of default 3080
  public_addr: ['proxy.0.0.0.0.nip.io']

Then start the dev server like yarn start-teleport --target=https://proxy.0.0.0.0.nip.io:3080 and access it at https://proxy.0.0.0.0.nip.io:8080.
