This application uses webpack for building + bundling resources. To run in developer mode with client and server side hotloading, use:
$ npm install # install dependencies
$ npm run start:dev # start server in dev mode with hotloading
Once start is successful you can visit http://localhost:8080/
For running in production mode, use:

$ npm run build # run tests(with coverage), build client side code and emit produciton optimized bundles
$ npm start # start node server
Haystack-ui utilizes Mocha as it's testing framework, with Chai as the assertation library, Enzyme for utility, and JSDOM as a headless browser for rendering React components. ESLint is used as a linter and insurance of code quality.
To run the test suite, enter the command npm test.
To check code coverage, run npm run coverage and open the generated index.html in the created coverage folder
Note- You may have to install Cairo dependencies separately for tests to work.

Haystack UI can be configured to use one or more stores, each providing user interface for one subsystem in Haystack. Based on what subsystems you have available in your haystack cluster, you can configure corresponding stores and UI will adapt to show interfaces only for the configured subsystems. For more details on this refer - https://github.com/ExpediaDotCom/haystack-ui/wiki/Configuring-Subsystem-Connectors
If you have an existing zipkin cluster you can use haystack UI as a drop-in replacement for zipkin's UI. For more details on this refer - https://github.com/ExpediaDotCom/haystack-ui/wiki/Configuring-Subsystem-Connectors#using-haystack-ui-as-replacement-for-zipkin-ui
