Context

The Viaduc project includes 6 code repositories. The present repository cmi-viaduc-web-frontend provides the source code of an Angular application that constitutes the public part of the online access. Together with the internal management application (cmi-viaduc-web-management), it uses a common code library (cmi-viaduc-web-core). The front-end applications are hosted in an ASP.NET container (see backend repository cmi-viaduc-backend) and communicate with the system via web API. With the release 2.0.0.1113, two new repositories were added to provide the system with IIIF viewer capabilities. There is the actual IIIF-Viewer (cmi-iiif-frontend) and the required backend (cmi-iiif-backend) that adds the required IIIF services like search.

Note: A general description of the repositories can be found in the repository cmi-viaduc.

Architecture and components

This is an Angular CLI project in the form of an application. The files generated by the build process are stored in the client folder within the CMI.Viaduc.Web.Frontend WebAPI project.

The application contains the GUI for the main application, the public area of the online access.
