workflow-builder

Graphical interface to build a workflow file

Netlify Status Node.js CI TS-Standard - Typescript Standard Style Guide codecov fair-software.eu DOI

The haddock3-download application of the main branch is published at https://i-vresse-workflow-builder.netlify.app

The builder allows you to create a complex TOML formatted config file based on a set of JSON schemas.

The workflow builder is organized as a monorepo with packages and apps.

Develop

Requires NodeJS and yarn (tested with v3.2.1).

# Install dependencies
yarn

# Run dev servers
yarn dev

Unit tests

Tests (**/*.test.tsx?) written in vitetest can be run with:

yarn test -- run

To run tests with code coverage use

yarn  test -- run --coverage

Creates **/coverage/ directory with HTML and LCOV report.

Integration tests

The integration tests (**/integration-tests/**.spec.ts) are written in playwright.

Before running test ensure browsers are installed with

cd apps/haddock3-download
npx playwright install chromium

Tests can be run with

yarn test:integration

To run a non-headless chromium browser use

yarn test:headed

The browser will pause when a test calls await page.pause(), so you can investigate current state.

There is a VS code extension to run integration tests inside editor.

Linting

yarn lint

To autofix lint errors use

yarn lint -- --fix

To generate JSON report use

yarn lint -- --report json > eslint.report.json

Build

To build production distribution run

yarn build

Which will create apps/*/dist/ directories which should be hosted on the web somewhere. The build also creates packages/*/dist directories which should be published to npmjs.com.

Component development

Components can be developed/tested/documented using storybook.

The storybooks of the main branch are hosted at

Storybook can be started locally with

yarn storybook

Format

Workflow archive

The workflow builder creates a zip file with a workflow configuration file called workflow.cfg in TOML format. The configuration file contains paths to input files which are included in the zip file.

Workflow configuration file

The workflow configuration file consists out of 2 parts:

  1. Global parameters, which are available to engine and each node.
  2. Tables with parameters for each node the workflow should run.

An uploaded workflow configuration file can contain tables with the same name (this is more lenient then the TOML format). A generated workflow configuration file with the same node twice will have a TOML string with [somenode] and ['somenode.2'] table respectively.

Catalog

The catalog is a YAML formatted file which tells the app what nodes are available. In has the following info:

  1. global: Description of global parameters
    • schema: What parameters are valid. Formatted as JSON schema draft 7.
    • uiSchema: How the form for filling the parameters should be rendered.
    • tomlSchema: How toml keys are mapped to in-memory representation.
  2. nodes: Description of available nodes.
    • id: Identifier of node, for computers
    • label: Label of node, for humans
    • category: Category to which node belongs
    • description: Text describing what node needs, does and produces.
    • schema: What parameters are valid. Formatted as JSON schema draft 7.
    • uiSchema: How the form for filling the parameters should be rendered.
    • tomlSchema: How toml keys are mapped to in-memory representation.
  3. catagories: Descriptions of node categories
    • name: Name of category
    • description: Description of category
    • collapsed (optional): Whether category should be rendered collapsed initially
  4. examples: Title and link to example workflows
    • map with title as key and link as value
  5. title: Title of the catalog
  6. nodeLegend: Legend of the node in the app. Default is 'Node'

schema

See docs/schema.md.

uiSchema

See docs/uiSchema.md.

tomlSchema

See docs/tomlSchema.md.

Catalog index

In the worklfow builder you can pick a catalog from a list. This list gets downloaded from public/catalog/index.json and is formatted like

[
    ["<title of catalog>", "<URL of catalog YAML file>"]
]

The first catalog in the index.json file will be shown when you open the app.

The haddock3 catalogs can be generated by a Python script in packages/haddock3_catalog from the haddock3 library. The haddock3 catalogs and example are symbolicly linked to /app/*/public.
