CKAN extension to integrate your custom DataPub.js based dataset and resource editor

Enable Datapub apps in your CKAN instance.

Find out about Datapub here - https://github.com/datopian/datapub.

Installation

This extension requires https://github.com/datopian/ckanext-blob-storage to be enabled as it uses storage_service_url for uploading files.

Just follow standard procedure for setting up an extension for the CKAN and add datapub into list of the plugins. Note that this extension was developed and tested using version 2.8.

Setup JS modules:

sh sync.sh

It would:

• git clone the datapub repo (can be any custom repo, by default, it is https://github.com/datopian/datapub)
• install dependencies
• build
• update JS modules in fanstatic

Note:

• if you are developing a React app, e.g., custom datapub app, you can use the following attributes passed from the /templates/datapub/snippets/upload_module.html:

<div id="ResourceEditor"
     data-dataset-id="{{ pkg_name }}"
     data-api="{{ base_url }}"
     data-lfs="{{ h.blob_storage_lfs_url() }}"
     data-auth-token="{{ api_key }}"
     data-organization-id="{{ h.blob_storage_organization_name(pkg_name) }}"
     data-resource-id="{{ resource_id }}">
</div>

CKAN >= 2.9 support

CKAN >= 2.9 uses webassets to manage all the bundles and the tag changed from resource to asset.

In order to build an upload_module.html that runs on CKAN >= 2.9 you can pass webassets as third parameter.

Example:

sh sync.sh https://github.com/datopian/datapub master webassets

This will create an upload_module.html like the following one:

{% asset "datapub/datapub-js" %}
{% asset "datapub/datapub-css" %}

<div id="ResourceEditor"
     data-dataset-id="{{ pkg_name }}"
     data-api="{{ base_url }}"
     data-lfs="{{ h.blob_storage_lfs_url() }}"
     data-auth-token="{{ api_key }}"
     data-organization-id="{{ h.blob_storage_organization_name(pkg_name) }}"
     data-resource-id="{{ resource_id }}">
</div>
