Org Pulse Core

A modular engineering dashboard platform connecting Jira, GitHub, and GitLab data with a team roster to surface delivery insights. Vue 3 + Express, deployed on OpenShift via ArgoCD.

This is the core platform repository. It provides the app shell, shared code, module system, and the built-in team-tracker module. Organizations extend it by creating their own repo that consumes @org-pulse/core as an npm dependency and adds custom modules.

Quick Start (Demo Mode)

Run the app with sample data — no credentials needed:

npm install

echo "DEMO_MODE=true" > .env
echo "VITE_DEMO_MODE=true" >> .env

npm run dev:full

Open http://localhost:5173.

Quick Start (Full Setup)

For real Jira and GitHub data:

Prerequisites

• Node.js 22+
• Red Hat VPN (required for LDAP roster sync)

1. Install dependencies

npm install

2. Configure environment

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with your credentials:

# Required
[email protected]
JIRA_TOKEN=your-jira-api-token        # From https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
[email protected]

# Optional — GitHub contribution stats
GITHUB_TOKEN=your-github-classic-pat   # Classic PAT with read:user scope

3. Start dev servers

npm run dev:full

This starts both the Vite frontend (port 5173) and the Express backend (port 3001).

• Frontend: http://localhost:5173
• API: http://localhost:3001/api

Extending with Custom Modules

Organizations can add their own modules by creating a consumer repo:

npm install @org-pulse/core

See docs/MODULES.md for the module development guide.

Commands

npm run dev:full              # Start frontend + backend
npm run dev                   # Frontend only (Vite)
npm run dev:server            # Backend only (Express, needs .env)
npm test                      # Run all tests
npm run test:watch            # Tests in watch mode
npm run lint                  # ESLint
npm run build                 # Production build
npm run validate:modules      # Validate module manifests
npm run validate:openapi      # Validate OpenAPI annotations

# Container-based tests (requires Docker/Podman)
make build-core-backend-image   # Build core backend image
make build-core-frontend-image  # Build core frontend image
make smoke-test-core            # Run smoke tests against core images
make test-module MODULE=people-teams  # Run integration tests

Tech Stack

• Frontend: Vue 3, Vite 8, Tailwind CSS 3, Chart.js 4
• Backend: Express (single server for local dev and production)
• Auth: OpenShift OAuth proxy (production), no auth (local dev)
• Storage: Local filesystem (./data/), PVC in OpenShift
• Hosting: OpenShift with ArgoCD
• Testing: Vitest (unit), Playwright (smoke & integration)
