App Development Workflow

Install Dependencies

As following modules explorer-ui-server, orion-editor-component and explorer-fvt-utilities are published on Zowe Artifactory. .npmrc file is pre-configured with registry value of https://zowe.jfrog.io/zowe/api/npm/npm-release

npm install

Build for Development

Modify the host variable in WebContent/js/utilities/urlUtils.js to a host and port that has the Zowe Jobs API server available

npm run dev 

Then you can visit http://localhost:8080 to test. When testing you may see errors with API calls do to CORS (Cross origin resource sharing), to work around this you may disable CORS checking in your browser for local development.
