## What is this?

This is the front end repository for VA.gov. It contains application code used across the site.

There are several repositories that contain the code and content used to build VA.gov. If you're looking to get started running VA.gov locally, you should read the [Getting Started](https://depo-platform-documentation.scrollhelp.site/developer-docs/Setting-up-your-local-frontend-environment.1844215878.html) documentation.

## Common commands

Once you have the site set up locally, these are some common commands you might find useful:

## Building `vets-website`

### Building applications

`vets-website` uses [Webpack](https://webpack.js.org) to bundle application
assets.

To **build all applications**, run the following:

```sh
yarn build
```

To **build one or more applications**, you can use the `--entry` option:

```sh
yarn build --entry=static-pages,auth
```

To **recompile your application when you make changes**, run:

```sh
yarn watch
```

Stylelint is disabled by default in watch to improve performance. To enable it, pass:

```sh
yarn watch --env stylelint=true
```

You can also **limit the applications Webpack builds** with `--env entry`:

```sh
yarn watch --env entry=static-pages,auth
```

The `entryname` for your application can be found in its `manifest.json` file.

If you're developing a feature that requires the API, but can't or don't want to
run it locally, you can specify `--env api`:

```sh
yarn watch --env api=https://dev-api.va.gov
```

You will need to disable CORS in your browser when using a non-local API. Here are some helpful links that explain how to do this:

- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3102819/disable-same-origin-policy-in-chrome
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4556429/disabling-same-origin-policy-in-safari

**Note:** If you try to log on, ID.me will redirect you to the environment that
the API is set up for. So in the above example, you'd be **redirected back to
dev.va.gov.**

### Building static content

Static pages are created from the [content-build](https://github.com/department-of-veterans-affairs/content-build) repository. See the [building static content](https://github.com/department-of-veterans-affairs/content-build#building-static-content) documentation.

### Building both together

After [building the applications](#building-applications), running `yarn build` in the `../content-build` directory will build content using the generated app bundles from `vets-website/build/localhost/generated`. The full build can be seen in `../content-build/build/localhost`.

## Working in GitHub Codespaces

[Read the Codespaces documentation for this repository](https://depo-platform-documentation.scrollhelp.site/developer-docs/Using-GitHub-Codespaces.1909063762.html#UsingGitHubCodespaces-Codespacesinvets-websiteandcontent-buildrepositories).

## Running tests

### Unit tests

To **run all unit tests**, use:

```sh
yarn test:unit
```

If you want to **run only one test file**, you can provide the path to it:

```sh
yarn test:unit src/applications/path/to/test-file.unit.spec.js
```

To **run all tests for a folder in src/applications**, you can use app-folder:

```sh
yarn test:unit --app-folder hca
```

To **run all tests in a directory**, you can use a glob pattern:

```sh
yarn test:unit src/applications/path/to/tests/**/*.unit.spec.js*
```

To **run tests with stack traces**, pass log-level `trace`:

```sh
yarn test:unit --log-level trace
```

To **run tests with coverage output**, you can pass the coverage option:

```sh
yarn test:unit --coverage
```

To **run tests with coverage and open the coverage report in your browser for a specific app** from `src/applications`:

```sh
yarn test:coverage-app {app-name}
```

For **help with test runner usage**, you can run:

```sh
yarn test:unit --help
```

### End-to-end (E2E) / Browser tests

- E2E or browser tests run in Cypress.

**Before running Cypress tests**, first make sure that:

1. `vets-website` is served locally on port 3001
   - You can do this with `yarn watch`
1. `vets-api` is **NOT** running
   - Any required APIs will be mocked by the Cypress test that needs them.

To **open the Cypress test runner UI and run any tests within it**:

```sh
yarn cy:open
```

To **open the Cypress test runner UI in Codespaces and run any tests within it**:

```sh
yarn cy:open-codespaces
```

Then visit http://localhost:6080/ and log in with the password `vscode`.

To **run Cypress tests from the command line**:

```sh
yarn cy:run
```

To **run specific Cypress tests from the command line**:

```sh
# Running one specific test.
yarn cy:run --spec "path/to/test-file.cypress.spec.js"

# Running multiple specific tests.
yarn cy:run --spec "path/to/test-a.cypress.spec.js,path/to/test-b.cypress.spec.js"

# Running tests that match a glob pattern.
yarn cy:run --spec "src/applications/my-app/tests/*"
yarn cy:run --spec "src/applications/my-app/tests/**/*"

# Running tests that match multiple glob patterns.
yarn cy:run --spec "src/applications/a/tests/**/*,src/applications/b/tests/**/*"
```

To **run Cypress tests from the command line on a specific browser**:

```sh
yarn cy:run --browser chrome
yarn cy:run --browser firefox
```

To **run Cypress tests with reports**

```sh
yarn cy:run:localreports my-app-folder
```

Examples:

- `yarn cy:run:localreports appeals/995`
- `yarn cy:run:localreports ask-a-question`

Afterward, check `/mochawesome-report` contents.

**For other options with `yarn cy:run`,** [the same options for `cypress run` are applicable](https://docs.cypress.io/guides/guides/command-line.html#Commands).

### Debugging Node 22 CI failures

If your PR passes tests locally but fails the Node 22 compatibility check in CI, you can reproduce the issue locally:

```sh
# Switch to Node 22
nvm use 22
# OR install if you don't have it
nvm install 22 && nvm use 22

# Create a temporary branch from the Node 22 test branch
git checkout -b temp-test-node22 origin/node-22-bug-bash-testing

# Merge your feature branch into it (this replicates what CI does)
git merge your-feature-branch

# Install dependencies
yarn install-safe

# Run the failing test
yarn test:unit path/to/failing/test.unit.spec.jsx

# Make fixes to the test file(s) until tests pass

# Switch back to your feature branch
git checkout your-feature-branch

# Switch back to Node 14 for normal development
nvm use 14

# Apply the fixes (cherry-pick the commit or manually copy changes)
git cherry-pick <commit-hash-of-fix>

# Push your feature branch with the fixes
git push origin your-feature-branch

# Clean up temporary branch (optional)
git branch -D temp-test-node22
```

**Note:** The Node 22 branch uses happy-dom instead of jsdom, which can cause different behavior in tests, particularly with sessionStorage, web components, and async operations.

## Running a mock API for local development

### Option 1: MSW browser mocking (recommended for new work)

MSW (Mock Service Worker) intercepts API requests directly in the browser — no separate server process needed. Define your mock handlers in your app, then run:

```sh
USE_MOCKS=true yarn watch --env entry=your-app --env api=http://mock-vets-api.local
```

See [`src/platform/mocks/README.md`](src/platform/mocks/README.md) for full setup instructions, available mock data, and troubleshooting.

### Option 2: mocker-api (legacy)

In separate terminal from your local dev server, run

```sh
yarn mock-api --responses path/to/responses.js
```

See the [mocker-api usage
documentation](https://github.com/jaywcjlove/mocker-api#usage) for how to use
the `responses.js`.

**If you need to log in**, go to your browser dev tools console and enter
`localStorage.setItem('hasSession', true)` and refresh the page. This will then
trigger a `/v0/user` call, which will then get the mocked response of a logged-in
user. (Assuming you've mocked that response, of course.)

Responses to common API requests, such as `/v0/user` and
`/v0/maintenance_windows`, you can use
[`src/platform/testing/local-dev-mock-api/common.js`](src/platform/testing/local-dev-mock-api/common.js)

```javascript
const commonResponses = require('src/platform/testing/local-dev-mock-api/common');

module.exports = {
  ...commonResponses,
  'GET path/to/endpoint': { foo: 'bar' },
};
```

## More commands

After a while, you may run into a less common task. We have a lot of commands
for doing very specific things.

| run the site for local development with automatic rebuilding of Javascript and sass **with** css sourcemaps | `yarn watch:css-sourcemaps` then visit `http://localhost:3001/`.

## API Keys

### Mapbox Tokens

Several applications on VA.gov use Mapbox for mapping functionality. For local development, you'll need to set up Mapbox API tokens.

**Getting a dev token:**

1. See [this link](https://github.com/department-of-veterans-affairs/va.gov-team/blob/master/platform/working-with-vsp/policies-work-norms/sensitive-guidance.md) for details on handling non-public keys and tokens.
2. See [this link](https://github.com/department-of-veterans-affairs/va.gov-team/issues/new?assignees=&labels=external-request%2Coperations%2Cops-access-request&template=aws-access-request.yml&title=AWS+access+for+%5Bindividual%5D) for instructions on requesting AWS access.

**Local development setup:**

Fetch the dev token from AWS and write it to your `.env` in one step:

```sh
echo "MAPBOX_TOKEN=$(aws ssm get-parameter --name /dsva-vagov/vets-website/dev/mapbox_token --with-decryption --query Parameter.Value --output text)" >> .env
```

Or manually create a `.env` file in the root of `vets-website` with:

```
MAPBOX_TOKEN=<your-dev-token>
```

This single token is used as the fallback for all Mapbox-consuming applications. Each app checks for an app-specific override first (e.g., `MAPBOX_TOKEN_FACILITY_LOCATOR`), then falls back to `MAPBOX_TOKEN`. For local development, the base token is all you need.

The `.env` file is already configured to work with dotenv for webpack.

**Deployed environments:**

In CI and deployed environments (dev, staging, production), each application receives its own Mapbox token from AWS Systems Manager. These are injected via the CI workflow files in `.github/workflows/`.
