Currently we instantiate the Workplace Search app with server props passed in from the server on initial page load. This data includes the organization name. In our settings section, we poll the server to get update information, but once the data is change, the global state does not get updated on a route change. This is only a problem in the case where a user has changed their org name and returns to the overview page before reloading the page. When this happens, the onboarding step asking the user to change thier org name is still visible. |

Enterprise Search
Overview
This plugin's goal is to provide a Kibana user interface to the Enterprise Search solution's products (App Search and Workplace Search). In it's current MVP state, the plugin provides the following with the goal of gathering user feedback and raising product awareness:
- App Search: A basic engines overview with links into the product.
- Workplace Search: A simple app overview with basic statistics, links to the sources, users (if standard auth), and product settings.
Development
- When developing locally, Enterprise Search should be running locally alongside Kibana on
localhost:3002. - Update
config/kibana.dev.ymlwithenterpriseSearch.host: 'http://localhost:3002' - For faster QA/development, run Enterprise Search on elasticsearch-native auth and log in as the
elasticsuperuser on Kibana.
Kea
Enterprise Search uses Kea.js to manage our React/Redux state for us. Kea state is handled in our *Logic files and exposes values and actions for our components to get and set state with.
Advanced Kea usage
For the most part, we stick to the functionality described in Kea's core concepts. However, in some files, we also take advantage of props and events, as well as manually mounting some shared logic files on plugin init outside of React.
Debugging Kea
To debug Kea state in-browser, Kea recommends Redux Devtools. To facilitate debugging, we use the path key with snake_cased paths. The path key should always end with the logic filename (e.g. ['enterprise_search', 'some_logic']) to make it easy for devs to quickly find/jump to files via IDE tooling.
Testing
Unit tests
Documentation: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-tests.html#_unit_testing
Jest tests can be run directly from the x-pack/plugins/enterprise_search folder. This also works for any subfolders or subcomponents.
yarn test:jest
yarn test:jest --watch
Unfortunately coverage collection does not work as automatically, and requires using our handy jest.sh script if you want to run tests on a specific folder and only get coverage numbers for that folder:
# Running the jest.sh script from the `x-pack/plugins/enterprise_search` folder (vs. kibana root)
# will save you time and allow you to Tab to complete folder dir names
sh jest.sh {YOUR_COMPONENT_DIR}
sh jest.sh public/applications/shared/kibana
sh jest.sh server/routes/app_search
