Edge Cloud Network Viewer

Production set up

The ECN-Viewer should be used as a node package with an Express server. The ECN-Viewer package exposes a function that takes Express as an argument and returns a middleware that will serve the application.

Install

npm i @iofog/ecn-viewer

Usage

const ecnViewer = require('@iofog/ecn-viewer')
const express = require('express')
...
app.use('/', ecnViewer.middleware(express))

Development set up

This set up will get you going with an Express server that will proxy your requests to the configured ECN Controller, this is currently a work around CORS issues and is only suited for development purposes.

Requirements

• Node >= 10.X
• NPM (It will be installed alongside node)

./bootstrap.sh will install Node.js and NPM using Node Version Manager (nvm) Note: NVM being a sourced script, a few extra commands are needed in order to be able to use nvm in your current shell session

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm

Usage

npm run start-dev

The script will use the config ./controller_dev.json, to bundle the web application. The web application will use the controller information from the config file as its ECN Controller. (This can later on be modified through the web app, using the settings icon on the lateral nav bar.)

The web server will listen on the PORT env variable (or 80 by default).

Config file

The configuration JSON file contains the informations required to connect to your ECN Controller.
