This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.
Before starting the web frontend service, please make sure the following environment is ready.
First, install the dependencies:
pnpm installThen, configure the environment variables. Create a file named .env.local in the current directory and copy the contents from .env.example. Modify the values of these environment variables according to your requirements:
cp .env.example .env.local# For production release, change this to PRODUCTION NEXT_PUBLIC_DEPLOY_ENV=DEVELOPMENT # The deployment edition, SELF_HOSTED NEXT_PUBLIC_EDITION=SELF_HOSTED # The base URL of console application, refers to the Console base URL of WEB service if console domain is # different from api or web app domain. # example: http://cloud.dify.ai/console/api NEXT_PUBLIC_API_PREFIX=http://localhost:5001/console/api NEXT_PUBLIC_COOKIE_DOMAIN= # The URL for Web APP, refers to the Web App base URL of WEB service if web app domain is different from # console or api domain. # example: http://udify.app/api NEXT_PUBLIC_PUBLIC_API_PREFIX=http://localhost:5001/api # SENTRY NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN= Important
- When the frontend and backend run on different subdomains, set NEXT_PUBLIC_COOKIE_DOMAIN=1. The frontend and backend must be under the same top-level domain in order to share authentication cookies.
- It's necessary to set NEXT_PUBLIC_API_PREFIX and NEXT_PUBLIC_PUBLIC_API_PREFIX to the correct backend API URL.
Finally, run the development server:
pnpm run devOpen http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
You can start editing the file under folder app. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
First, build the app for production:
pnpm run buildThen, start the server:
pnpm run startIf you want to customize the host and port:
pnpm run start --port=3001 --host=0.0.0.0If you want to customize the number of instances launched by PM2, you can configure PM2_INSTANCES in docker-compose.yaml or Dockerfile.
This project uses Storybook for UI component development.
To start the storybook server, run:
pnpm storybookOpen http://localhost:6006 with your browser to see the result.
If your IDE is VSCode, rename web/.vscode/settings.example.json to web/.vscode/settings.json for lint code setting.
We use Vitest and React Testing Library for Unit Testing.
📖 Complete Testing Guide: See web/testing/testing.md for detailed testing specifications, best practices, and examples.
Run test:
pnpm testIf you are not familiar with writing tests, refer to:
- classnames.spec.ts - Utility function test example
- index.spec.tsx - Component test example
Before writing tests, use the script to analyze component complexity:
pnpm analyze-component app/components/your-component/index.tsxThis will help you determine the testing strategy. See web/testing/testing.md for details.
