Allow users to log in through the Dashboard Service
Onboarding for new users (configure Component Testing dev server, install dependencies, etc)
Select testing mode (E2E, Component, Node.js)

It is using the following technologies:

Vue 3 for the UI framework
- code is written with the Composition API
- uses the new <script setup> syntax for beter TypeScript support
Vite for the dev server
TypeScript
Urql for the GraphQL client

Cypress' entire back-end is powered by the @packages/server package. Launchpad interfaces with it via a GraphQL layer, found in @packages/graphql.

Here is a short tutorial building a simple app using the same technologies we are using for launchpad. There are a lot of moving pieces; understanding how everything works will help you contribute to Launchpad.

Building

For development

## from repo root
yarn workspace @packages/launchpad build

Developing

For the best development experience, you will want to use VS Code with the Volar extension. This will give you type completion inside vue files.

## from repo root
yarn dev

This starts Vite in watch mode. It also starts the GraphQL Server. You can access it on http://localhost:52200/graphql.

If you notice your IDE has not updated and is showing errors, even after yarn watch has run`, you might need to reopen your IDE. With the amount of code generation running, sometimes the IDE does not recognize that the code has changed.

Testing

In Cypress

This project is tested with Cypress itself. It acts exactly like any other Cypress project. It has more component tests than E2E, as we are using Launchpad to dogfood Component Testing.

Component Tests:

## from repo root
yarn workspace @packages/launchpad cypress:open:ct

E2E tests:

## from repo root
yarn workspace @packages/launchpad cypress:open

Utility class usage

Windi CSS can create an awesome interactive summary showing our usage of utility classes and design tokens. Running this command will generate this report and serve it on localhost.

## from launchpad directory
yarn windi
