# Owncast Web Frontend
|
|
|
|
The Owncast web frontend is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) project with [React](https://reactjs.org/) components, [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/), [Sass](https://sass-lang.com/) styling, using [Ant Design](https://ant.design/) UI components.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
**First**, install the dependencies.
|
|
|
|
`npm install --include=dev`
|
|
|
|
## Components and Styles
|
|
|
|
You can start the [Storybook](https://storybook.js.org/) UI for exploring, testing, and developing components by running:
|
|
|
|
`npm run storybook`
|
|
|
|
This allows for components to be made available without the need of the server to be running and changes to be made in
|
|
isolation.
|
|
|
|
## Contribute
|
|
|
|
1. Find a component that hasn't yet been worked on by looking through the [UIv2 milestone](https://github.com/owncast/owncast/milestone/18) and the sidebar of components in storybook.
|
|
1. See if you can have an example of this functionality in action via the [Owncast Demo Server](https://watch.owncast.online) or [Owncast Nightly Build](https://nightly.owncast.online) so you know how it's supposed to work if it's interactive.
|
|
1. Visit the `Docs` tab to read any specific documentation that may have been written about how this component works.
|
|
1. Go to the `Canvas` tab of the component you selected and see if there's a Design attached to it.
|
|
1. If there is a design, then that's a starting point you can use to start building out the component.
|
|
1. If there isn't, then visit the [Owncast Demo Server](https://watch.owncast.online), the [Owncast Nightly Build](https://nightly.owncast.online), or the proposed [v2 design](https://www.figma.com/file/B6ICOn1J3dyYeoZM5kPM2A/Owncast---Review?node-id=0%3A1) for some ways to start.
|
|
1. If no design exists, then you can ask around the Owncast chat for help, or come up with your own ideas!
|
|
1. No designs are stuck in stone, and we're using this as an opportunity to level up the UI of Owncast, so all ideas are welcome.
|
|
|
|
See the extra how-to guide for components here: [Components How-to](./components/_COMPONENT_HOW_TO.md).
|
|
|
|
### Run the web project
|
|
|
|
Make sure you're running an instance of Owncast on localhost:8080, as your copy of the admin will look to use that as the API.
|
|
|
|
**Next**, start the web project with npm.
|
|
|
|
`npm run dev`
|
|
|
|
### Update the project
|
|
|
|
You can add or edit a pages by modifying `pages/something.js`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
|
|
|
|
[Routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next/router) will automatically be available for this new page components.
|
|
|
|
Since this project hits API endpoints you should make requests in [`componentDidMount`](https://reactjs.org/docs/react-component.html#componentdidmount), and not in [`getStaticProps`](https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/data-fetching), since they're not static and we don't want to fetch them at build time, but instead at runtime.
|
|
|
|
A list of API end points can be found here:
|
|
https://owncast.online/api/development/
|
|
|
|
### Admin Authentication
|
|
|
|
The pages under `/admin` require authentication to make API calls.
|
|
|
|
Auth: HTTP Basic
|
|
|
|
username: admin
|
|
|
|
pw: [your streamkey]
