Tips & Tricks (UI Developer)

Dashboard No Polling

When you are troubleshooting the UI or REST APIs, the Node Dashboard (dashboard) polling can be a pain because it generates log traffic. You can disable polling for debug by using the nopoll parameter.

For example, http://192.168.124.10:3000/dashboard/89?nopoll

Stop Rendering Navigation

If you are in developer mode, then you can pass in ?nav=false and the template will not render the menu.

For example, http://192.168.124.10:3000/docs?nav=false

Force/Stop Documentation reindexing

You can use the ?rebuild=[true/false] to force the documentation index to rebuild (also happens on web startup). In developer mode, the documentation will reindex everytime the /doc page is hit.

  • in production mode, force reindexing, use ?rebuild=[anything]
  • in developer mode, stop reindex on every load, use ?rebuild=false
