# Owncast Web
|
|
|
|
## 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```
|
|
|
|
### 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:

|

|
|
|
|
### Admin Authentication
|
|
|
|
The pages until `/admin` require authentication to make API calls.
|
|
|
|
Auth: HTTP Basic
|
|
|
|
username: admin
|
|
|
|
pw: [your streamkey]
|
|
|
|

## Style guide and components
|
|
|
|
We are currently experimenting with using [Storybook](https://storybook.js.org/) to build components, experiment with styling, and have a single place to find colors, fonts, and other styles.
|
|
|
|
To work with Storybook:
|
|
|
|
```npm run storybook``` |
