README

Milo - The interface into luci.

Layout

• frontend/appengine/
  • main.go - Main router and entry point into app.
  • static/ - CSS and JS assets. All assets go under a named subfolder.
  • templates/ - HTML assets for use with go templates.
• common/miloerror - Error subclass used to pass HTTP statuses.
• client/cmd/backfill - Git data backfiller.

Subdirectory layout

To retain convention, each data source (e.g. swarming, DM) should have the following files:

• html.go - All routable HTML endpoints of type handler.

Themes and Templates

Milo supports the switching of themes (template bundles) based on user preference. Themes must follow these layouts:

• Go Templates go under appengine/frontend/templates/[[Theme Name]] ** Base templates go under appengine/frontend/templates/[[Theme Name]]/includes ** Actual templates go under appengine/frontend/templates/[[Theme Name]]/pages
• Static resources (css, javascript, images, etc) go under /frontend/static/[[Theme Name]]. This boundry isn't enforced, this is just by convention, so one theme is allowed to use resources in other themes (but it is not recommended)
• Add the Theme Name into the map in appengine/settings/theme.go:THEMES

Seeding data for local development

• After starting the dev_appserver, run go run client/cmd/backfill/main.go buildbot -master="chromium.win" -remote-url="localhost:8080" -dryrun=false -buildbot-fallback=true (replace the port number with your dev_appserver port number)
