UI Development

Setup

Install required tools:

go install github.com/tkrajina/typescriptify-golang-structs/tscriptify@latest

Develop UI (Development Mode)

1. Start the React development server (with hot-reload):

cd ui/app
npm install
npm run dev

2. In a separate terminal, run the Ollama app with the -dev flag:

go generate ./... &&
OLLAMA_DEBUG=1 go run ./cmd/app -dev

The -dev flag enables:

• Loading the UI from the Vite dev server at http://localhost:5173
• Fixed UI server port at http://127.0.0.1:3001 for API requests
• CORS headers for cross-origin requests
• Hot-reload support for UI development
