- Makefiles are not really common (rightly so) in JS projects and script entries in the package.json are good enough and what they're there for. - Move to using yarn for installing dependencies and running scripts as that is what we mostly use for the rest of the project. - Move from using make syntax to a dedicated script for building and testing extensions.

Lens | The Kubernetes IDE
World’s most popular Kubernetes IDE provides a simplified, consistent entry point for developers, testers, integrators, and DevOps, to ship code faster at scale. Lens is the only IDE you’ll ever need to take control of your Kubernetes clusters. It is a standalone application for MacOS, Windows and Linux operating systems. Lens is an open source project and free!
What makes Lens special?
- Amazing usability and end-user experience
- Unified, secure, multi-cluster management on any platform: support for hundreds of clusters
- Standalone application: no need to install anything in-cluster
- Lens installs anywhere, elimanting the need to wrangle credentials
- Real-time cluster state visualization
- Resource utilization charts and trends with history powered by built-in Prometheus
- Smart terminal access to nodes and containers
- Clusters can be local (e.g. minikube) or external (e.g. EKS, GKE, AKS)
- Performance optimized to handle massive clusters (tested with a cluster running 25k pods)
- RBAC security is preserved, as Lens uses the standard Kubernetes API
- Lens Extensions are used to add custom visualizations and functionality to accelerate development workflows for all the technologies and services that integrate with Kubernetes
- Helm package deployment: Browse and deploy Helm charts with one click-Install

Development
Prerequisites: Nodejs v12, make, yarn
make init- initial compilation, installing deps, etc.make dev- builds and starts the appmake test- run tests
Development (advanced)
Allows for faster separate re-runs of some of the more involved processes:
yarn dev:maincompiles electron's main process app partyarn dev:renderercompiles electron's renderer app partyarn dev:extension-typescompile declaration types for@k8slens/extensionsyarn dev-runruns app in dev-mode and auto-restart when main process file has changed
Development (documentation)
Run a local instance of mkdocs serve in a docker container for developing the Lens Documentation.
Prerequisites: docker, yarn
yarn mkdocs-serve-local- local build and serve of mkdocs with auto update enabled
Go to localhost:8000
Developer's RTFM recommended list:
- TypeScript (front-end/back-end)
- ReactJS (front-end, ui)
- MobX (app-state-management, back-end/front-end)
- ElectronJS (chrome/node)
- NodeJS (api docs)
