Beaver IoT Web

Beaver IoT Web is a Monorepo-based frontend project that encompasses the web application and its dependent build scripts, project specifications, internationalization, and common code libraries. It is managed using Pnpm Workspace, providing a unified development environment and build process for ease of development and maintenance.

Development and Maintenance

Basic Environment Configuration

It is recommended to use Pnpm for managing the environment and dependencies of this project. Below is a simple example:

To ensure consistency in the development and debugging environment, we require the basic environment versions to be pnpm>=8.0.0 and node>=20.0.0. Versions below these will not be supported. If Pnpm & Node are already installed, you can skip this step.

1. Install Pnpm

   curl -fsSL https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | sh -

   Refer to the Pnpm installation documentation.

2. Install Node

   # Install the LTS version of Node.js
   pnpm env use --global lts

   Refer to the Pnpm Node.js environment management documentation.

3. Clone the repository locally

   Generate an SSH Key (if not already available locally):

   # Press "Enter" through the prompts
   ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@domain.com"
   
   # Copy the public key
   # Git Bash on Windows
   cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | clip
   
   # Mac
   cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | pbcopy

   Copy the generated SSH public key and paste it into the User Settings -> SSH Keys on GitLab. Then, clone the project locally without a password:

   # Clone the repository
   git clone git@github.com:Milesight-IoT/beaver-iot-web.git
   
   # Enter the project directory
   cd beaver-iot-web
   
   # Configure the commit username and email
   # To modify globally, add the --global parameter
   git config user.name xxx
   git config user.email xxx@domain.com

Start Local Development Service

# Install dependencies
pnpm i

# Start the local development service
# Dependencies in the packages named `@milesight` will also start the development service
pnpm run start

Internationalization Development

The project integrates internationalization support, which developers can enable as needed.

All text content is maintained in the packages/locales library. When adding new text, it is recommended to add it to the corresponding module in packages/locales/src/lang/en. After development, use the pnpm run i18n:export command to export all newly added text as JSON for translation.

Translated text can be placed in the packages/locales/import directory, then execute the pnpm run i18n:import command to import the text into packages/locales/src/lang, making it available for use in the application.

Build Compilation

Simply execute the command:

pnpm run build

This command will build all sub-applications and dependency libraries in the Monorepo, with the build output located in the dist directory of each sub-library.

Common Commands

Command	Description
pnpm run start	Start the development service
pnpm run build	Start the build compilation
pnpm run i18n:import	Import internationalization text
pnpm run i18n:export	Export internationalization text, with validation of new text
pnpm run i18n:export-all	Export all internationalization text, with validation of all text
