# Cosmos DB Explorer
UI for Azure Cosmos DB. Powers the [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com/), https://cosmos.azure.com/, and the [Cosmos DB Emulator](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/local-emulator)
![](https://sdkctlstore.blob.core.windows.net/exe/dataexplorer.gif)
## Getting Started
- `npm install`
- `npm run build`
## Developing
### Watch mode
Run `npm start` to start the development server and automatically rebuild on changes
### Hosted Development (https://cosmos.azure.com)
- Visit: `https://localhost:1234/hostedExplorer.html`
- Local sign in via AAD will NOT work. Connection string only in dev mode. Use the Portal if you need AAD auth.
- The default webpack dev server configuration will proxy requests to the production portal backend: `https://main.documentdb.ext.azure.com`. This will allow you to use production connection strings on your local machine.
### Emulator Development
- Start the Cosmos Emulator
- Visit: https://localhost:1234/index.html
#### Setting up a Remote Emulator
The Cosmos emulator currently only runs in Windows environments. You can still develop on a non-Windows machine by setting up an emulator on a windows box and exposing its ports publicly:
1. Expose these ports publicly: 8081, 8900, 8979, 10250, 10251, 10252, 10253, 10254, 10255, 10256
2. Download and install the emulator: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/local-emulator
3. Start the emulator from PowerShell:
```
> cd C:/
> .\CosmosDB.Emulator.exe -AllowNetworkAccess -Key="<EMULATOR MASTER KEY>"
```
### Portal Development
- Visit: https://ms.portal.azure.com/?dataExplorerSource=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A1234%2Fexplorer.html
- You may have to manually visit https://localhost:1234/explorer.html first and click through any SSL certificate warnings
### Testing
#### Unit Tests
Unit tests are located adjacent to the code under test and run with [Jest](https://jestjs.io/):
`npm run test`
#### End to End CI Tests
Jest and Puppeteer are used for end to end browser based tests and are contained in `test/`. To run these tests locally:
1. Copy .env.example to .env
2. Update the values in .env including your local data explorer endpoint (ask a teammate/codeowner for help with .env values)
3. Make sure all packages are installed `npm install`
4. Run the server `npm run start` and wait for it to start
5. Run `npm run test:e2e`
### Releasing
We generally adhere to the release strategy [documented by the Azure SDK Guidelines](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/policies_repobranching.html#release-branches). Most releases should happen from the master branch. If master contains commits that cannot be released, you may create a release from a `release/` or `hotfix/` branch. See linked documentation for more details.
