The React UI running in a browser can't connect to the backend without punching a hole for CORS, which isn't done by default. We don't need the API key to protect from browsers, and anything else running on the user's machine that can access the backend (that's hosted on only localhost) already has enough control to do damage without using Liberation as an attack vector. https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation
DCS Liberation Client
This is a React app for the front-end of DCS Liberation. It is a work in progress that just barely implements the map. This is not useful for players yet.
For development, set the following environment variables when launching DCS Liberation (the Qt UI):
-
CORS_ALLOW_DEBUG_SERVER=trueThis will allow the front-end to make requests to the server, as long as the front-end is running on http://localhost:3000.
Then, run npm start to start the development server. Launch the Qt UI with
--new-map --dev to connect the webview to the development server, or navigate
to http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
Available Scripts
In the project directory, you can run:
npm start
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.
npm test
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
npm run build
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment for more information.
npm run eject
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!
If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.
You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
