Development

@veer11997 Thanks for your interest!

This wiki is initially based on the current development.md file, plus some real quick exercise while putting together these notes.

In a nutshell, a local development environment can be set up as follows:

Core requirements: NodeJs and Gulp

git clone https://github.com/mmisw/orr-portal.git
cd orr-portal
npm install
npm install --global gulp-cli

The frontend configurability includes settings to indicate the particular ORR repository to interact with.

Assuming the ESIP COR instance:

Create src/app/js/local.config.js with (these are some of the possible settings):

appConfig.branding.logo         = "http://cor.esipfed.org/esip_cor_logo.png";
appConfig.branding.title        = "ESIP Community Ontology Repository";
appConfig.branding.contactUs    = "http://esipfed.org/contact";
appConfig.orront.sparqlEndpoint = "http://cor.esipfed.org/sparql";
appConfig.orront.rest           = "http://cor.esipfed.org/ont";
appConfig.portal.mainPage       = undefined;

which will make your local orr-portal get information from the ESIP COR instance of the ORR.

Finally:

gulp dev

should open http://localhost:9001/src/app/indexdev.html in your browser.

You can then make changes in the code using your favorite IDE or text editor, and reload that page to see the changes reflected.
