soapbox-fe

This is the frontend for Soapbox. It is based on Gab Social's frontend which is in turn based on Mastodon's frontend.

Running locally

To get it running, just clone the repo:

git clone https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox-fe.git
cd soapbox-fe

Ensure that Node.js and Yarn are installed, then install dependencies:

yarn

Finally, run the dev server:

yarn start

It will serve at http://localhost:3036 by default.

It will proxy requests to the backend for you. For Pleroma no other changes are required, just start Pleroma and it should begin working.

Using with Mastodon

For Mastodon you will need to edit webpack/development.js and change the proxy port to 3000: const backendUrl = 'http://localhost:3000'; then restart the soapbox-fe dev server.

Streaming will not work properly without extra effort.

Due to Mastodon not supporting authentication through the API, you will also need to authenticate manually. First log in through the Mastodon interface, view the source of the page, and extract your access_token from the markup. Then open soapbox-fe, open the console, and insert the following code:

window.localStorage.setItem('soapbox:auth:user', JSON.stringify({access_token: "XXX"}));

Replace XXX with your access token. Finally, refresh the page, and you should be logged in.

Yarn Commands

The following commands are supported.

Local dev server

  • yarn start - Run the local dev server. It will proxy requests to the backend for you.

Building

  • yarn build:development - Build for development.

  • yarn build:production - Build for production.

Translations

  • yarn manage:translations - Normalizes translation files. Should always be run after editing i18n strings.

Tests

  • yarn test - Runs all tests.

  • yarn test:lint - Runs all linter tests.

  • yarn test:lint:js - Runs only JavaScript linter.

  • yarn test:lint:sass - Runs only SASS linter.

  • yarn test:jest - Frontend unit tests.
