Rename CACHE to JLINK_REUSE_CACHE for clarity about JAR reuse. Fix desktop:dev:login task to properly pass SECURITY_ENABLELOGIN as env var. Improve Windows compatibility in verify-bundled-jre.mjs by using cmd.exe as Task launcher. Rename desktop_enable_login_flag() to desktop_login_enabled_from_env() for clarity. Add documentation for desktop dev modes and override options. Add comments explaining compression fallback and file permissions handling.

# Frontend
|
|
|
|
All frontend commands are run from the repository root using [Task](https://taskfile.dev/):
|
|
|
|
- `task frontend:dev` — start Vite dev server (localhost:5173)
|
|
- `task frontend:build` — production build
|
|
- `task frontend:test` — run tests
|
|
- `task frontend:test:watch` — run tests in watch mode
|
|
- `task frontend:lint` — run ESLint + cycle detection
|
|
- `task frontend:typecheck` — run TypeScript type checking
|
|
- `task frontend:check` — run typecheck + lint + test
|
|
- `task frontend:install` — install npm dependencies
|
|
|
|
For desktop app development, see the [Tauri](#tauri) section below.
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
|
|
`frontend/` is a workspace containing one or more apps. Today it holds the
|
|
PDF editor under `frontend/editor/`; new apps (the developer portal, etc.)
|
|
will sit alongside it as siblings. Shared tooling — `package.json`, `node_modules`,
|
|
`.storybook/`, ESLint, Prettier — lives at `frontend/` so every app installs
|
|
once and lints with the same config.
|
|
|
|
## Environment Variables
|
|
|
|
The editor's environment variables live in committed `.env` files at
|
|
`frontend/editor/`:
|
|
|
|
- `.env` — used by all builds (core, proprietary, and as the base for desktop/SaaS)
|
|
- `.env.desktop` — additional vars loaded in desktop (Tauri) mode
|
|
- `.env.saas` — additional vars loaded in SaaS mode
|
|
|
|
These files contain non-secret defaults and are checked into Git, so most dev work needs no further setup.
|
|
|
|
To override values locally (API keys, machine-specific settings), create an uncommitted sibling `editor/.env.local` / `editor/.env.desktop.local` / `editor/.env.saas.local`. Vite automatically layers these on top of the committed files.
|
|
|
|
## Docker Setup
|
|
|
|
For Docker deployments and configuration, see the [Docker README](../docker/README.md).
|
|
|
|
## Tauri
|
|
|
|
All desktop tasks are available via [Task](https://taskfile.dev). From the root of the repo:
|
|
|
|
### Dev
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task desktop:dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This ensures the JLink runtime and backend JAR exist (skipping if already built), then starts Tauri in dev mode.
|
|
|
|
For local login testing, use the login-enabled variant:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task desktop:dev:login
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That task reuses the same desktop launcher, but it keeps the backend cache and enables the login flow through the desktop taskfile defaults.
|
|
|
|
You can override the desktop task defaults inline:
|
|
|
|
- `JLINK_REUSE_CACHE=false` - force a clean backend JAR/JRE rebuild before launch
|
|
- `DISABLE_ADDITIONAL_FEATURES=false` - keep the full backend feature set for the bundled desktop run
|
|
- `SECURITY_ENABLELOGIN=true` - enable the normal login flow in desktop mode
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task desktop:dev:login JLINK_REUSE_CACHE=false DISABLE_ADDITIONAL_FEATURES=false SECURITY_ENABLELOGIN=true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Build
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task desktop:build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This does a full clean rebuild of the backend JAR and JLink runtime, then builds the Tauri app for production.
|
|
|
|
Platform-specific dev builds are also available:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task desktop:build:dev # No bundling
|
|
task desktop:build:dev:mac # macOS .app bundle
|
|
task desktop:build:dev:windows # Windows NSIS installer
|
|
task desktop:build:dev:linux # Linux AppImage
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### JLink Tasks
|
|
|
|
You can also run JLink steps individually:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task desktop:jlink # Build JAR + create JLink runtime
|
|
task desktop:jlink:jar # Build backend JAR only
|
|
task desktop:jlink:runtime # Create JLink custom JRE only
|
|
task desktop:jlink:clean # Remove JLink artifacts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`task desktop:jlink` verifies the bundled runtime after it is built. If the
|
|
runtime release file is missing or too old, the verification script will
|
|
rebuild `desktop:jlink:runtime` automatically and re-check the version.
|
|
|
|
### Clean
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task desktop:clean
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Removes all desktop build artifacts including JLink runtime, bundled JARs, Cargo build, and dist/build directories.
