# Teiler
|
||||
This module orchestrates the different microfrontends of the bridgehead as a single page application.
|
||||
|
||||
**Teiler** is the central frontend of the **bridgehead system**. It brings together multiple independent tools—each built as a **microfrontend**—into a single, unified web application.
|
||||
|
||||
Users interact with Teiler as one coherent interface, but behind the scenes, it dynamically integrates and displays self-contained modules developed with different technologies (**Angular**, **Vue**, **React**, etc.). This modular approach makes Teiler highly flexible, allowing teams to develop, deploy, and maintain features independently.
|
||||
|
||||
Teiler ensures:
|
||||
|
||||
* **A consistent look and feel** across tools.
|
||||
* **Smooth navigation** between components.
|
||||
* **Seamless user authentication** across the entire interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Each independent tool integrated into Teiler is called a **bridgehead app**. A bridgehead app can be:
|
||||
|
||||
- A fully standalone microfrontend with its own frontend and backend services.
|
||||
- An embedded service inside the Teiler Dashboard.
|
||||
- An external link to another service, possibly hosted on a central server or elsewhere in the federated research network.
|
||||
|
||||
The modularity of Teiler enables it to adapt easily to the evolving needs of the research federated network by simply adding, updating, or removing bridgehead apps.
|
||||
|
||||
Below is a breakdown of Teiler's internal components that make this orchestration possible.
|
||||
|
||||
- [Teiler Orchestrator](#teiler-orchestrator)
|
||||
- [Teiler Dashboard](#teiler-dashboard)
|
||||
- [Teiler Backend](#teiler-backend)
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Teiler Orchestrator
|
||||
Single SPA component that consists on the root HTML site of the single page application and a javascript code that
|
||||
gets the information about the microfrontend calling the teiler backend and is responsible for registering them. With the
|
||||
resulting mapping, it can initialize, mount and unmount the required microfrontends on the fly.
|
||||
|
||||
**GitHub repository:** [https://github.com/samply/teiler-orchestrator](https://github.com/samply/teiler-orchestrator)
|
||||
|
||||
The **Teiler Orchestrator** is the entry point of the **Single Page Application (SPA)**. It consists of:
|
||||
|
||||
The microfrontends run independently in different containers and can be based on different frameworks (Angular, Vue, React,...)
|
||||
This microfrontends can run as single alone but need an extension with Single-SPA (https://single-spa.js.org/docs/ecosystem).
|
||||
There are also available three templates (Angular, Vue, React) to be directly extended to be used directly in the teiler.
|
||||
- An **HTML root page**.
|
||||
- A **JavaScript layer** that:
|
||||
- **Retrieves microfrontend configurations** from the backend.
|
||||
- **Registers and manages** the microfrontends using [**Single-SPA**](https://single-spa.js.org/), the framework Teiler uses to create and coordinate its microfrontend environment.
|
||||
|
||||
Using this information, the orchestrator dynamically **loads the correct microfrontend** for a given route and manages its **lifecycle** (*init*, *mount*, *unmount*) in real time.
|
||||
|
||||
**Microfrontends** run in their own containers and can be implemented with any major frontend framework. To be compatible with Teiler, they must integrate with **Single-SPA**.
|
||||
|
||||
To encourage developers to create their own microfrontends and integrate them into Teiler, we provide **starter templates** for **Angular**, **Vue**, and **React**. Developing a new microfrontend is straightforward:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use one of the templates.
|
||||
2. Extend it with your own functionality.
|
||||
3. Add its configuration in the **Teiler Backend**.
|
||||
|
||||
This modular approach accelerates development and fosters collaboration.

## Teiler Dashboard
|
||||
It consists on the main dashboard and a set of embedded services.
|
||||
### Login
|
||||
user and password in ccp.local.conf
|
||||
|
||||
**GitHub repository:** [https://github.com/samply/teiler-dashboard](https://github.com/samply/teiler-dashboard)
|
||||
|
||||
The **Teiler Dashboard** is the unified interface users interact with after logging in. It provides:
|
||||
|
||||
- A **single point of access** where various bridgehead apps are embedded as microfrontends.
|
||||
- **Central navigation** and **session management** for a smooth user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
### Authentication and Authorization
|
||||
|
||||
Teiler uses **OpenID Connect (OIDC)** for user authentication, accessible via the **top navigation bar**.
|
||||
|
||||
We consider three possible **application roles**:
|
||||
|
||||
| Role | Description |
|
||||
|--------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| Public | Accessible by any user without the need to log in |
|
||||
| User | Normal users working with various bridgehead applications |
|
||||
| Admin | Bridgehead system administrators |
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to **deactivate OIDC authentication** entirely. In such cases, **all apps must have at least the public role** to allow access. While this may be suitable for development or testing, we **strongly encourage** at least some external authentication mechanism or network-level access control to secure the bridgehead environment.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, basic authentication can be enforced through the existing **Traefik infrastructure** integrated with the bridgehead.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Teiler Backend
|
||||
In this component, the microfrontends are configured.
|
||||
|
||||
**GitHub repository:** [https://github.com/samply/teiler-backend](https://github.com/samply/teiler-backend)
|
||||
|
||||
The **Teiler Backend** serves as the central configuration hub for all microfrontends and bridgehead apps. It defines:
|
||||
|
||||
- Which bridgehead apps are available.
|
||||
- Their loading URLs and routes.
|
||||
- Optional metadata such as display names, icons, roles, and activation status.
|
||||
|
||||
It enables the orchestrator to remain **generic and flexible**, adapting dynamically to whatever apps are defined in the backend configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
### Assets Directory
|
||||
|
||||
There is an **assets** directory where you can save images and other static files to be accessible to your microfrontends. This helps configure and customize apps more easily and quickly.
|
||||
|
||||
Assets can be referenced via:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
<Teiler Backend URL>/assets/<filename>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### App Configuration via Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Apps are configured using environment variables with the following structure:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
TEILER_APP<Number>_<suffix>
|
||||
Optional: TEILER_APP<Number>_<LanguageCode>_<suffix>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- The **number** is just for grouping variables for a single app and has no intrinsic meaning.
|
||||
- The **app** is the unit within Teiler, shown as a box in the dashboard.
|
||||
- Apps can be:
|
||||
- Embedded apps inside the Teiler Dashboard (there is a helper Python script for generating embedded apps: [create-embedded-app.py](https://github.com/samply/teiler-dashboard/blob/main/create-embedded-app.py))
|
||||
- External links (e.g., central services outside the local bridgehead instance)
|
||||
- An app's frontend (microfrontend or embedded app) can either contain the entire functionality or serve as a frontend communicating with other backend microservices in the bridgehead.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently supported languages in the main projects DKTK and BBMRI are **English (EN)** and **German (DE)**, but the system can be extended to other languages.
|
||||
|
||||
The Teiler Dashboard requests variables from the backend for each app and passes the desired language code. If a language-specific variable is unavailable, the default language value is returned.
|
||||
|
||||
### Internationalization (i18n)
|
||||
#### ⚠️ Important
|
||||
|
||||
If you make any changes to the **Teiler Dashboard**, and those changes involve text elements (e.g., labels, buttons, messages), you must also update the **English translations**, since the application uses **internationalization (i18n)**.
|
||||
|
||||
The **default language** of the project is **German**, so any new text must be manually translated into English after extracting the updated i18n entries.
|
||||
|
||||
To extract new translation entries, run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ng extract-i18n --output-path src/i18n --format=xlf2
|
||||
````
|
||||
|
||||
This will generate or update the file:
|
||||
`src/i18n/messages.xlf`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
#### ✅ Requirements to Run the Extraction Command
|
||||
|
||||
| Program | Purpose | Linux Shell (Ubuntu/Debian) | Windows PowerShell |
|
||||
| -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Node.js** | JavaScript runtime required by Angular and npm | `sudo apt update && sudo apt install nodejs npm`<br>**or**<br>[Use NodeSource setup](https://github.com/nodesource/distributions) (recommended) | [Download from nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org) and install manually |
|
||||
| **npm** | Node package manager (comes with Node.js) | *(Included with Node.js)* | *(Included with Node.js)* |
|
||||
| **Angular CLI** | Command-line interface for Angular tooling | `npm install -g @angular/cli` | `npm install -g @angular/cli` |
|
||||
| **Angular project dependencies** | Required packages from `package.json` | `npm install` | `npm install` |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
#### ✏️ Updating the English Translation
|
||||
|
||||
After running the extraction command, the file `src/i18n/messages.xlf` will contain any newly added i18n entries.
|
||||
|
||||
To provide English translations:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open `src/i18n/messages.en.xlf`.
|
||||
2. Compare it with the updated `messages.xlf` to identify any new entries.
|
||||
3. Copy the new `<trans-unit>` blocks from `messages.xlf` into `messages.en.xlf`.
|
||||
4. For each entry, add the English translation inside the `<target>` tag (in `messages.en.xlf`):
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<trans-unit id="..." datatype="html">
|
||||
<source>Willkommen</source>
|
||||
<target>Welcome</target>
|
||||
</trans-unit>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### App Availability Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
The Teiler Backend regularly **pings apps** to check availability and displays status messages such as:
|
||||
|
||||
- "Frontend not available"
|
||||
- "Backend not available"
|
||||
- "Frontend and Backend not available"
|
||||
|
||||

# Teiler
|
||||
This module orchestrates the different microfrontends of the bridgehead as a single page application.
|
||||
|
||||
**Teiler** is the central frontend of the **bridgehead system**. It brings together multiple independent tools—each built as a **microfrontend**—into a single, unified web application.
|
||||
|
||||
Users interact with Teiler as one coherent interface, but behind the scenes, it dynamically integrates and displays self-contained modules developed with different technologies (**Angular**, **Vue**, **React**, etc.). This modular approach makes Teiler highly flexible, allowing teams to develop, deploy, and maintain features independently.
|

|
||||
Teiler ensures:
|
||||
|
||||
* **A consistent look and feel** across tools.
|
||||
* **Smooth navigation** between components.
|
||||
* **Seamless user authentication** across the entire interface.
|
||||
|
||||
Each independent tool integrated into Teiler is called a **bridgehead app**. A bridgehead app can be:
|
||||
|
||||
- A fully standalone microfrontend with its own frontend and backend services.
|
||||
- An embedded service inside the Teiler Dashboard.
|
||||
- An external link to another service, possibly hosted on a central server or elsewhere in the federated research network.
|
||||
|
||||
The modularity of Teiler enables it to adapt easily to the evolving needs of the research federated network by simply adding, updating, or removing bridgehead apps.
|
||||
|
||||
Below is a breakdown of Teiler's internal components that make this orchestration possible.

|
||||
## Teiler Orchestrator
|
||||
Single SPA component that consists on the root HTML site of the single page application and a javascript code that
|
||||
gets the information about the microfrontend calling the teiler backend and is responsible for registering them. With the
|
||||
resulting mapping, it can initialize, mount and unmount the required microfrontends on the fly.
|
||||
|
||||
**GitHub repository:** [https://github.com/samply/teiler-orchestrator](https://github.com/samply/teiler-orchestrator)
|
||||
|
||||
The **Teiler Orchestrator** is the entry point of the **Single Page Application (SPA)**. It consists of:
|
||||
|
||||
The microfrontends run independently in different containers and can be based on different frameworks (Angular, Vue, React,...)
|
||||
This microfrontends can run as single alone but need an extension with Single-SPA (https://single-spa.js.org/docs/ecosystem).

## Teiler Dashboard
|
||||
It consists on the main dashboard and a set of embedded services.
|
||||
### Login
|
||||
user and password in ccp.local.conf
|
||||
|
||||
**GitHub repository:** [https://github.com/samply/teiler-dashboard](https://github.com/samply/teiler-dashboard)
|
||||
|
||||
The **Teiler Dashboard** is the unified interface users interact with after logging in. It provides:
|
||||
|
||||
- A **single point of access** where various bridgehead apps are embedded as microfrontends.
|
||||
- **Central navigation** and **session management** for a smooth user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
### Authentication and Authorization
|
||||
|
||||
Teiler uses **OpenID Connect (OIDC)** for user authentication, accessible via the **top navigation bar**.
|
||||
|
||||
We consider three possible **application roles**:
|
||||
|
||||
| Role | Description |
|
||||
|--------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| Public | Accessible by any user without the need to log in |
|
||||
| User | Normal users working with various bridgehead applications |
|
||||
| Admin | Bridgehead system administrators |
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to **deactivate OIDC authentication** entirely. In such cases, **all apps must have at least the public role** to allow access. While this may be suitable for development or testing, we **strongly encourage** at least some external authentication mechanism or network-level access control to secure the bridgehead environment.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, basic authentication can be enforced through the existing **Traefik infrastructure** integrated with the bridgehead.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Teiler Backend
|
||||
In this component, the microfrontends are configured.
|
||||
|
||||
**GitHub repository:** [https://github.com/samply/teiler-backend](https://github.com/samply/teiler-backend)
|
||||
|
||||
The **Teiler Backend** serves as the central configuration hub for all microfrontends and bridgehead apps. It defines:
|
||||
|
||||
- Which bridgehead apps are available.
|
||||
- Their loading URLs and routes.
|
||||
- Optional metadata such as display names, icons, roles, and activation status.
|
||||
|
||||
It enables the orchestrator to remain **generic and flexible**, adapting dynamically to whatever apps are defined in the backend configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
### Assets Directory
|
||||
|
||||
There is an **assets** directory where you can save images and other static files to be accessible to your microfrontends. This helps configure and customize apps more easily and quickly.
|
||||
|
||||
Assets can be referenced via:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
<Teiler Backend URL>/assets/<filename>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### App Configuration via Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Apps are configured using environment variables with the following structure:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
TEILER_APP<Number>_<suffix>
|
||||
Optional: TEILER_APP<Number>_<LanguageCode>_<suffix>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- The **number** is just for grouping variables for a single app and has no intrinsic meaning.
|
||||
- The **app** is the unit within Teiler, shown as a box in the dashboard.
|
||||
- Apps can be:
|
||||
- Embedded apps inside the Teiler Dashboard (there is a helper Python script for generating embedded apps: [create-embedded-app.py](https://github.com/samply/teiler-dashboard/blob/main/create-embedded-app.py))
|
||||
- External links (e.g., central services outside the local bridgehead instance)
|
||||
- An app's frontend (microfrontend or embedded app) can either contain the entire functionality or serve as a frontend communicating with other backend microservices in the bridgehead.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently supported languages in the main projects DKTK and BBMRI are **English (EN)** and **German (DE)**, but the system can be extended to other languages.
|
||||
|
||||
The Teiler Dashboard requests variables from the backend for each app and passes the desired language code. If a language-specific variable is unavailable, the default language value is returned.
|
||||
|
||||
### Internationalization (i18n)
|
||||
#### ⚠️ Important
|
||||
|
||||
If you make any changes to the **Teiler Dashboard**, and those changes involve text elements (e.g., labels, buttons, messages), you must also update the **English translations**, since the application uses **internationalization (i18n)**.
|
||||
|
||||
The **default language** of the project is **German**, so any new text must be manually translated into English after extracting the updated i18n entries.
|
||||
|
||||
To extract new translation entries, run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
ng extract-i18n --output-path src/i18n --format=xlf2
|
||||
````
|
||||
|
||||
This will generate or update the file:
|
||||
`src/i18n/messages.xlf`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
#### ✅ Requirements to Run the Extraction Command
|
||||
|
||||
| Program | Purpose | Linux Shell (Ubuntu/Debian) | Windows PowerShell |
|
||||
| -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| **Node.js** | JavaScript runtime required by Angular and npm | `sudo apt update && sudo apt install nodejs npm`<br>**or**<br>[Use NodeSource setup](https://github.com/nodesource/distributions) (recommended) | [Download from nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org) and install manually |
|
||||
| **npm** | Node package manager (comes with Node.js) | *(Included with Node.js)* | *(Included with Node.js)* |
|
||||
| **Angular CLI** | Command-line interface for Angular tooling | `npm install -g @angular/cli` | `npm install -g @angular/cli` |
|
||||
| **Angular project dependencies** | Required packages from `package.json` | `npm install` | `npm install` |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
#### ✏️ Updating the English Translation
|
||||
|
||||
After running the extraction command, the file `src/i18n/messages.xlf` will contain any newly added i18n entries.
|
||||
|
||||
To provide English translations:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open `src/i18n/messages.en.xlf`.
|
||||
2. Compare it with the updated `messages.xlf` to identify any new entries.
|
||||
3. Copy the new `<trans-unit>` blocks from `messages.xlf` into `messages.en.xlf`.
|
||||
4. For each entry, add the English translation inside the `<target>` tag (in `messages.en.xlf`):
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<trans-unit id="..." datatype="html">
|
||||
<source>Willkommen</source>
|
||||
<target>Welcome</target>
|
||||
</trans-unit>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### App Availability Monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
The Teiler Backend regularly **pings apps** to check availability and displays status messages such as:
|
||||
|
||||
- "Frontend not available"
|
||||
- "Backend not available"
|
||||
- "Frontend and Backend not available"
|
||||
|
||||
