Example Fulcro RAD App: Org Billing Troubleshooting

Developers: see the Dev section below.

This is based on a production application that we had for troubleshooting issues with our customers' organizations, their invoices and the charges of individual employees.

The app is based on Fulcro RAD and was created off fulcro-rad-demo. It features RAD reports, nested dynamic routers, and custom components (that contain reports) and navigation between the elements.

Requires Java 9+

About the domain

Organizations have invoices (one per a period, which can be a month or a quarter) and each invoice contains charges for the org's employees based on the services they have used in the period.

Sometimes the period an invoice covers is a multiple of the expected period, which is typically caused by just a few "parts" of the invoice. We display those to help troubleshooting the issue.

Building

Build

Then run build.sh (BEWARE: Stop shadow-cljs watch first, if running.)

Tip: You can run the built app locally, for example like this:

 env PORT=3333 APP_ENV=prod java -cp 'app.jar:lib/*' clojure.main -m billing-app.main

or via Docker:

 docker run -it -e PORT=8080 -e APP_ENV=prod -p 8080:8080 billing-app

Dev

Key facts

Starting the app:

TIP: Build the app first when doing this for the first time, see above.

  • Frontend: clojure -M:dev:shadow-cli watch main
  • Backend: APP_ENV=dev DB_PSW=sa clojure -A:dev:sql (or, better, via Cursive) then (require 'development) and (development/go) (src/sql/development.clj) to start the server from a Clojure REPL and (development/restart) after a code change (if just evaluating the function isn't enough) - see the (comment ...) in the file. See Running locally below for details.

For config, see src/shared/config/defaults.edn and dev|prod|stage.edn.

NOTE: During development, all data fetched is cached to .edn files in .dev-data-cache/ so once cached, you don't need internet/VPN. Use billing-app.model.cache/evict-all-for to delete data for a fn from the cache, see its docstring for details and for deleting all.

The app runs at http://localhost:3030/

IntelliJ setup

Run the action (Help - Find Action...) "Clojure Deps" to open the tool window of the same name. There, under Aliases, make sure that all of dev, sql, test are selected.

When adding a REPL config for the server:

  1. Under Run with Deps - Aliases, insert dev,sql (test possibly but not required).
  2. Set these environment variables (;-separated or using the multi-line editor):
    • APP_ENV=dev

Running locally

See IntelliJ setup above for how to prepare the REPL.

See https://github.com/fulcrologic/fulcro-rad-demo/ for more info about running.

Production

In production the app runs behind a proxy that ensures that the user is authenticated and provides it with an OIDC token that the app checks for the user's roles.

It runs as an uberjar inside a Docker image.
