Documentation for localhost run/development

[beena-yatin-kanyal]

I am using the Zally tool for restful API implementation for some work however I find it difficult to run the application on the localhost environment. I know we can dockerize it but it is a tedious step as even for a small change I have to run the entire script? Is there any way that how I can run this application on the localhost environment? i.e.

server -
run as springboot application <some_filename>

web-UI -
go to this folder and run npm steps ...

Will appreciate it if something can be like can be shared so that I can offer a faster development?

something like runbook that goes this directory and starts this and this and this and voila application started successfully ...

thanks in advance.

Did you look at the Server README and the Web UI README (development)?

Is this not clear enough, not easy enough to find, or do you wish a shorter way of doing it?

@ePaul - the backend document is still okay for the person who knows how to get the springboot working directly or via .gradlew. However web-ui documentation needs a good revamp as it is very difficult to get it working on the localhost:3000 endpoint.

I must admit, that the only script for automated local setup is based on docker compose and it seems to be outdated still supporting bark. Thus it requires some experience to make it run manually. If you have figured out a simpler or more efficient script to startup, I'm glad to test and accept it as contribution.

We usually only run a the server locally and test it directly. In Zalando we use an upgraded UI we cannot open source.
