EOxClient

The EOxClient focuses on creating a webclient for map applications, which allows easy customization through a centralized configuration concept.

Technologies used

The application uses Yeoman which integrates:

  • Yo : scaffolds out the application, writing the Grunt configuration and pulling in relevant Grunt tasks that you might need for your build.
  • Grunt : which allows building, previewing and testing the project
  • Bower : which allows managing of dependencies and automatic download, thus making the application easily extendable.

Libraries used

How to setup development environmet (on a Linux machine)

  1. Get the code from GitHub EOxClient repository:

    git clone git@github.com:EOX-A/EOxClient.git
    
  2. Install development enviroment:

    Make sure Node.js and NPM are installed on your machine and run:

    cd ./EOxClient
    sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
    sudo npm install -g bower 
    npm install 
    

    These commands install the needed Node.js packages. In case of any trouble try to use reasonable recent version of Node.js. Also note that newer versions of Node.js contain the NPM already bundled in the baseline installation.

  3. Install client dependencies:

    The required JavaScript librabries can be installed by:

    bower install
    
  4. Start the Grunt development server:

    grunt server 
    

    this should automatically open a the client on your default web browser, if not point your browser to localhost:9000.

If you managed to reach this the last step you can start to hack the code. The development server by grunt watches for saved changes in the code and will update the page automatically.

How to deploy the code on a the server

  1. Create deployment package:

    grunt build
    

    This command creates dist directory containing the produced deployment version. This directory should be then packed by some archiving tool (zip, tar, cpio ... etc.) creating the deployment package.

  2. Put the content of the deployment package to your server and make sure the web server can access the index.html file.
