Oskari frontend contrib

These are unofficial bundles for Oskari created by the Oskari community. Many of them add value to your Oskari install, but they come with no official support from the core Oskari team.

Setup

This repository and the main oskari-frontend repository should be located side by side on your filesystem. Here are the steps to setup the build environment:

1. Make sure you have the command line programs git, and node version 8 or greater
2. Clone the main frontend repository: git clone https://github.com/oskariorg/oskari-frontend.git
3. Clone the contrib repository (this one): git clone https://github.com/oskariorg/oskari-frontend-contrib.git
   • Now we have directories oskari-frontend and oskari-frontend-contrib side by side
4. Run npm install in both above repo directories

Running npm install in this repo will create symlinks to the oskari-frontend directory under node_modules.

In this model, it's left to the developer to checkout the correct branches/versions of the above repos.

Using bundles in your application

To use bundles from this repo in your application, set up the application project directory side by side with the above repos. Add "oskari-frontend-contrib": "file:../oskari-frontend-contrib" under dependencies in your package.json and run npm install. If you don't use NPM and package.json for dependency management, you can just create a directory named node_modules inside your project directory, and within create symbolic links to oskari-frontend (created in step 2 above) and oskari-frontend-contrib (created in step 3 above) directories.

After this setup, you can reference bundles in this repo in your application's minifierAppSetup with oskari-frontend-contrib:

{
    "bundlename": "analyse",
    "metadata": {
        "Import-Bundle": {
            "analyse": {
                "bundlePath": "oskari-frontend-contrib/packages/analysis/ol3/"
            }
    }
}

Building applications

This repository also houses some application configurations (under applications/). After you have done the basic setup (above), applications can be built directly from this repo with eg. npm run build -- --env.appdef=1.48:applications/asdi. The output will be under dist/. See the main oskari-frontend repo for detailed instructions about the build parameters.

Contributing

If you would like to contribute your own bundles to this repo, please make a Pull request. Each bundle should have a README stating:

1. Which versions of Oskari the bundle is compatible with
2. Who is the maintainer of the bundle (contact information)

Managing dependencies

With the symlinks in place import-statements and other path references to oskari-frontend will resolve to the appropriate directories. This means you can reference bundles in oskari-frontend repo with eg. "bundlePath": "oskari-frontend/packages/statistics/" in minifierAppSetup.json. The same principle works in bundle.js for defining bundle dependencies.

Libraries

Before adding a library dependency (either under libraries/ or via NPM), you should check if the library is already included in oskari-frontend repo. If it is, you can reference it in your bundle.js with eg. oskari-frontend/libraries/geostats/1.5.0/lib/geostats.min.js. NPM package dependencies defined in oskari-frontend repo can be imported directly in code found in this repo eg. Open Layers import olMap from 'ol/Map';. Note: this is not how node module resolution usually works; it's a special feature of the Oskari build system aimed to avoid library code duplication & version conflicts. To see which packages can be used in this way, see dependencies in oskari-frontend package.json.

If the library isn't included in oskari-frontend repo, you can add it into this repo, either as dependency in package.json (preferred) or under libraries/. Dependencies under libraries/ require a reference in bundle.js, NPM dependencies do not; just import in your code.
