solace-ai-connector-web 0.1.1

Web interface for Solace Agent Mesh

Solace AI Connector Web

A web application with a React frontend and Python backend.

Prerequisites

• Node.js and npm
• Python 3.10 and above
• Required Python dependencies

Frontend Development

Installation

Navigate to the frontend directory:

cd src/solace_ai_connector_web/frontend
npm install

Run the frontend development server:

npm run dev

To build the frontend for production:

npm run build
# or
npx remix vite:build

Backend Development

Building

Run this in the root of the project to build the wheel package:

python -m build -w

This will create a /dist folder containing the wheel file which needs to be installed as a dependency in the solace-agent-mesh project.

One suggested workflow for installing the wheel:

pip uninstall solace_ai_connector_web -y && pip install ../../web-solace/solace-ai-connector-web/dist/solace_ai_connector_web-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl

Local Development

Since static assets are served by default, development with hot reload requires some configuration:

Update vite.config.ts

Add the server configuration:

// vite.config.ts
import { vitePlugin as remix } from "@remix-run/dev";
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    remix({
      ssr: false,
      buildDirectory: "./static",
    }),
  ],
  server: {
    proxy: {
      "/api": {
        target: "http://localhost:5001", // Go backend URL
        changeOrigin: true,
        secure: false, // Disable SSL verification if not using HTTPS
        rewrite: (path) => path.replace(/^\/api/, "/api"),
      },
    },
  },
});

Environment Variables

For local development pointing to local REST API with auth disabled:

WEBUI_RESPONSE_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:5050/api/v1/request

WEBUI_FRONTEND_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:5001
WEBUI_FRONTEND_USE_AUTHORIZATION=False
WEBUI_FRONTEND_URL=http://localhost:5173

This configuration allows you to use npm run dev while still connecting to the REST API run by Solace Agent Mesh.

Notes

• The Python server is configured to serve static files automatically
• Frontend builds are placed in the static directory in frontend/static for the server to access
