Developing the Stratos Console

Introduction

Stratos comprises of two main components:

• A front-end UI that runs in your web browser. This is written in Typescript and uses the Angular framework.
• A back-end that provides a web-based API to the front-end. This is written in Go.

Depending on what you are contributing, you will need to develop with the front-end, back-end or both.

Build & Run Locally

For a quick-start to get Stratos front and back ends built and running locally on a development system, follow the steps below.

You will need to have go and nodejs installed in your development environment.

git clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry/stratos.git

cd stratos

npm install

npm run build

npm run build-backend

cd src/jetstream

./jetstream

This will build both the frontend and backend and run the backend in a mode where it will also serve the static resources for the frontend.

You can open a web browser and navigate to (https://127.0.0.1:5443) and login with username admin and password admin.

To develop the frontend we recommend reading through the frontend doc. This includes a faster way to run Stratos and see your changes.

Additional back end docs are available here before making any changes to the code.
