Altinn Studio is the next generation Altinn application development solution. Together with Altinn Apps and Altinn Platform, it makes a complete application development and hosting platform.
Altinn Studio is available at https://altinn.studio.
Use the Altinn Studio documentation to get started.
These instructions will get you a copy of Altinn Studio up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
- Newest .NET 6 SDK
- Node.js (version 16.*)
- Newest Git
- A code editor - we like Visual Studio Code
- Also install recommended extensions (f.ex. C#)
- Docker Desktop
- Update hosts file (C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts) by adding the following values as an local administrator:
On MacOS add the same values to values
localhost altinn3.no 127.0.0.1 altinn3.no 127.0.0.1 altinn3local.no
/private/etc/hosts
withsudo nano /private/etc/hosts
in treminal. - If you are running Docker Desktop in Hyper-V mode you need to make sure your C drive is shared with Docker, Docker Settings -> Shared Drives
The File sharing tab is only available in Hyper-V mode, because in WSL 2 mode and Windows container mode all files are automatically shared by Windows.
On MacOS: Change docker-compose.yml (both)
to:
volumes: - 'C:/AltinnCore/Repos:/AltinnCore/Repos'
volumes: - '/Users/<yourname>/AltinnCore/Repos:/AltinnCore/Repos'
- World Wide Web Publishing Service must be disabled, Services -> "World Wide Web Publishing Service" rigth click and choose "stop"
Clone Altinn Studio repo and navigate to the studio
folder.
git clone https://github.com/Altinn/altinn-studio
cd altinn-studio/src/studio
Run all parts of the solution in containers (Make sure docker is running)
docker-compose up -d --build
The solution is now available locally at altinn3.no. (Just create a new user for testing. No email verification required)
If you make changes and want to rebuild a specific project using docker-compose this can be done using
docker-compose up -d --build <container>
Example
docker-compose up -d --build altinn_designer
The Designer component can be run locally when developing/debugging. The rest of the solution (repository
and load-balancer
) will still have to be running in containers. Follow the install steps above if this has not already been done.
Stop the container running Designer.
docker stop altinn-designer
Navigate to the designer backend folder. The first time running, or after any package changes, get the latest packages.
cd src/studio/src/designer/backend
yarn --immutable
yarn run gulp-install-deps
On MacOS you need two extra steps:
-
change the RepositoryLocation in src/studio/src/designer/backend/appsettings.json to
"ServiceRepositorySettings": { "RepositoryLocation": "/Users/<yourname>/AltinnCore/Repos/" }
-
Change location where the application stores the DataProtectionKeys
export ALTINN_KEYS_DIRECTORY=/Users/<yourname>/studio/keys
Build and prepare for running the application
dotnet build
yarn run gulp # run this when there are changes in frontend that you want to serve from backend
There are multiple ways to start the applications
yarn run gulp-develop # Run the front end watching app-development
yarn run gulp-develop-dashboard # Run the front end watching dashboard
If you are not going to edit the designer react app (frontend) you can use
cd src/studio/src/designer/backend
yarn --immutable
yarn run gulp # run this when there are changes in frontend that you want to serve from backend
dotnet run
Which will build the Designer .net backend and the designer react app, but not listen to changes to the react app.
If you need to rebuild other react apps, for instance dashboard
or app-development
, this can be done by navigating to their respective folders, example src/studio/src/designer/frontend/dashboard
and then run the following build script
yarn run build
Some of the react projects also have various other predefined scripts, which can be viewed in the package.json
file which is located in the root folder of each react project, example src/studio/src/designer/frontend/dashboard
.
Automated end to end tests are currently being developed.
- Navigate to the folder
src/studio/src/designer/frontend
. - Execute
yarn --immutable
. This step is only nescessary if you have not already done it, or if you change branches. - Execute
yarn run lint
.
- Navigate to the folder
src/studio/src/designer/frontend
. - Execute
yarn --immutable
. This step is only nescessary if you have not already done it, or if you change branches. - Execute
yarn run test
.
The current build is deployed in Kubernetes on Azure. Automated CI/CD using Azure DevOps pipelines.
- React/Redux - The front-end framework
- .NET Core/C# - The back-end framework
- yarn - Package management
- Docker - Container platform
- Kubernetes - Container orchestration
