Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Author IDE and Instruction Renderer

To start development

  1. Create a .npmrc file from .npmrc.template. Replace <<YOUR_GH_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>> with your github personal access token, configured with read package permissions. Make sure to allow SSO with ibm-skills-network. (This is required because author-ide uses the @ibm-skills-network/editor.md package which is not public, so you need authorization in order for npm install to install it)

  2. Create a .env file from .env.template.

  • Gitlab-related ENV variables (Note, we are going to connect to SN self-hosted giltab runnin on apps-staging cluster):
    • GITLAB_TOKEN can be found here under credential field.(Note this is an api token for SN self-hosted gitlab from staging)
    • Leave GITLAB_URL set to "https://author-gitlab.staging.skills.network/api/v4/" in order to point to the SN self-hosted gitlab from staging.
  • Set PORT to 3002 in order to be inline with the default development settings of author-ide for other services like atlas and author-workbench.
  • Leave SECRET blank.
  • LABS_BASE_URL can be left blank. It should be set only if you need to test iframe communcations between author-ide and the labs ui locally (author-ide is iframed inside labs ui in a typical lab environment). You would have to run labs ui locally and set LABS_BASE_URL to the url of the locally running labs ui (usually http://monocle.localhost:5000)
  • LABS_ACCESS_TOKEN can be found here. It needs to be set if you want to test the Test button inside author-ide(to make the Test button work, you also requires theLTI params to be set (see below))
  • LTI params can be found here. Note, you're required to set the LTI params only if you want to test the Test button inside author-ide. Note, the LTI credentials provided are for the staging environment, so when a lab is loaded, the author-ide on the left will be from the staging environment and not your local environment.
  • AWB_URL should be set to the url of the locally running AWB (usually http://localhost:3000)
  • AWB_CLIENT_ID and AWB_CLIENT_SECRET should be generated in locally running AWB at http://localhost:3000/oauth/applications (requires admin role) and create a new application (just give it a name (something like Author IDE) and leave the other fields blank).
  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, COS_REGION, IBM_COS_ENDPOINT, S3_BUCKET, and S3_BUCKET_PRIVATE can be found here
  1. Add this code block to the config/settings/development.local.yml file in author-workbench:
author_ide:
  url: "http://localhost:3002"
  access_token: "<access token>"

where <access token> is generated and displayed as "Admin Token:" in the logs in step 4. after running npm start

author-ide requires author-workbench to be running in order to hit the edit endpoints with valid tokens.

  1. Follow the commands below in your shell.
# Use the node version (v16.12.0) designated for this workspace
nvm install
# or
nvm use

# Install deps
npm install

# Start dev server (should hotload code changes)
npm start

You'll mostly be working with the edit/ and render/ endpoints. Read this to get started.

Building an Image

op run -- docker-compose build

Endpoints

  • POST /token - Generate a token
  • GET /edit?token=<token> - HTML edit page
  • GET /render?token=<token> - HTML render page

Read this for more details on the endpoints.

Deployment

See https://wiki.skills.network/en/Team/Development/how-we-develop-services

There is a chance that any public file might be cached by akamai and this may cause errors. It's usually a good idea to purge the akamai cache after deploying a new Author IDE image so this issue doesn't occur.

Follow this guide for clearing the akamai cache and make sure to select the CP Code for skills-network-apps-production

Tokens

Ideally, you shouldn't be creating tokens manually. Author workbench and Labs UI are responsible for generating token for authors and learners.

{
  "atlas_token": <atlas token for a lab and its project>,
  "tool_type": <tool type>,
  "author": {
    "email": <user email>,
    "display_name": <user name>,
    "user_id": <user id>
  },
  "gitlab": {
    "id": <Gitlab project ID>,
    "filename": "<filename>"
  },
  "asset_library_prefix_url": "<asset library prefix url>"
}

e.g.

{
  "atlas_token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJwcm9qZWN0X2lkIjoiMTAyNTciLCJsYWJfaWQiOjk3Nzl9.TXZrPT3qCS5TWg2b9dySJYd0v26awxCS70lZTlj5y3E",
  "tool_type": "instructional-lab",
  "author": {
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "display_name": "Eugene Fedoriv",
    "user_id": 2
  },
  "gitlab": {
    "id": "39771753",
    "filename": "labs/eugene-asdlkasjd.md"
  },
  "asset_library_prefix_url": "https://cf-course-data-dev.s3.us.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud/IBM-GPXX0AISEN",
  "admin": false,
  "iat": 1664382344,
  "exp": 1664468744
