Vanadium Namespace Browser

The namespace browser is a web application that lets developers and other users view and interact with the Vanadium world. Starting from their namespace root, a user can see where services are mounted and browse through the mount table hierarchy. The user can select a service to see more detailed information about it, and can also interact with the service; by invoking methods they can examine or modify the service's state.

Installing the Vanadium Extension

As a Vanadium web application, the namespace browser requires that users install the Vanadium Extension from the Chrome Web Store. If you try to run the webapp without the extension, it will prompt you to install it.

Here is the link to the Vanadium Extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vanadium-extension/jcaelnibllfoobpedofhlaobfcoknpap

Building the Namespace Browser

You do not need to build your own copy of the namespace browser in order to use it; just if you want to modify it or see how it works.

To build a local copy, install the Vanadium environment and be sure to include the web profile.

Here is the link to the development instructions for Vanadium: https://v.io/community/contributing.html

Next, to build your own copy of the namespace browser, simply run:

cd $VANADIUM_ROOT/release/projects/browser
make build

This compiles the relevant bundle files in the ‘public’ folder. The assets inside must be served as your own instance of the web app.

Running locally for development

You can serve a local instance with the following command:

make start

This command compiles and launches the web app. Additionally, demo services that represent a virtual house and cottage are added to your local namespace.

Navigate to http://localhost:9001 to access the namespace browser. You can quit by using CTRL-C on the console running make start

If you have any problems after updating the code, try cleaning the build.

make clean
make start

Testing

The namespace browser has some unit and integration tests that verify basic functionality.

Run these tests with the following command:

make test

There are no UI tests yet.

Contributing

Coming Soon! Meanwhile, you can submit bugs, issues and suggestions from the namespace browser itself.
