OpenHands/frontend

Getting Started with the OpenHands Frontend

Overview

This is the frontend of the OpenHands project. It is a React application that provides a web interface for the OpenHands project.

Tech Stack

• Remix SPA Mode (React + Vite + React Router)
• TypeScript
• Redux
• Tailwind CSS
• i18next
• React Testing Library
• Vitest
• Mock Service Worker

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20.x or later
• npm, bun, or any other package manager that supports the package.json file

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/All-Hands-AI/OpenHands.git

# Change the directory to the frontend
cd OpenHands/frontend

# Install the dependencies
npm install

Running the Application in Development Mode

We use msw to mock the backend API. To start the application with the mocked backend, run the following command:

npm run dev

This will start the application in development mode. Open http://localhost:3001 to view it in the browser.

NOTE: The backend is partially mocked using msw. Therefore, some features may not work as they would with the actual backend.

Running the Application with the Actual Backend (Production Mode)

There are two ways to run the application with the actual backend:

# Build the application from the root directory
make build

# Start the application
make start

OR

# Start the backend from the root directory
make start-backend

# Build the frontend
cd frontend && npm run build

# Serve the frontend
npm start -- --port 3001
