Reactive Trader®

Reactive Trader® is a real-time FX trading platform designed to showcase reactive programming principles across the full application stack.

Originally written in WPF and .Net, and now in React, React-RxJS, Node.js and running on Hydra, we continue to evolve the platform to use the latest technologies.

Development

Web client

1. Fork and clone the ReactiveTraderCloud repo (see Contributing page)

2. Install Node.js and npm

3. Start the client:

    cd src/client
    npm install
    npm start

   This will connect to the dev back-end in the cloud.

4. Navigate to http://localhost:1917

Manually update contracts for Trading Gateway API

1. Open hydra-reactive-trader project in IntelliJ IDEA and run:

   ./gradlew
   

2. Copy file component/gateway/trading/api/build/generated-sources/codecs/main/resources/trading-gateway.hyer to UI project src/client/trading-gateway.hyer

3. Back in src/client, run:

   npm run generateCod
   

   This will regenerate TradingGateway.ts (file://./src/client/src/generated/TradingGateway.ts)

Run against local Backend Services

1. Follow instructions to start Backend Services

2. Run:

   VITE_HYDRA_URL=ws://localhost:8929 npm start
   

CI/CD

We practice continuous integration and deployment. Every branch and pull request triggers a build and deployment to an ephemeral environment. Merging to master causes a build and deployment to our development environment.
