dobby_ui

Dobby UI is a web UI for inspecting Dobby. It relies on the Dobby REST interface.

Including in Erlang Node

1. Add dobby_ui_lib as a rebar dependency:

{dobby_ui, "", {git, "https://github.com/ivanos/dobby_ui_lib.git", {branch, "master"}}, [raw]},

2. dobby_ui_lib requires npm to compile. Add pre_hook to verify npm is installed:

{pre_hooks, [{'get-deps', "sh -c 'npm --version >> /dev/null || (echo \"npm not installed\"; exit 1)'"}]}.

3. Add a post_hook to compile dobby_ui:

{post_hooks, [{'get-deps', "sh -c 'cd deps/dobby_ui && npm install --unsafe-perm && cd -'"}]}.

4. Add a post_hook to copy the compiled ui into the dobby_rest priv dir:

{post_hooks, [{compile, "sh -c 'cp -r deps/dobby_ui/www deps/dobby_rest/priv/static'"}]}.

rebar.config example

{deps,
 [{dobby_ui, "", {git, "https://github.com/ivanos/dobby_ui_lib.git",
                  {branch, "master"}}, [raw]}]
 }.

{post_hooks, [{compile, "sh -c 'cp -r deps/dobby_ui_lib/www deps/dobby_rest/priv/static'"}]}.

Usage

Dobby UI can be included in a Dobby REST server so that the Dobby UI is served by the same webserver providing the REST interface. See https://github.com/ivanos/dobby_allinone_node.git for an example.

To get sample data into dobby:

1. checkout weave from github
2. cd util
3. ./mk_json example_topology > /tmp/json
4. In the dobby console: dby_bulk:import(json0, "/tmp/json").
