• How to start the application?

  • When using shogun2 as backend
    • Set the credentials in .env (see below)
    • Start the app with npm run start-shogun2
  • When using no backend / a static appContext
    • Start the app with npm run start:static

• To start a new project:

  • Create a new folder next to the baseclient package, e.g. "myproject" and add at least a single Main class.
  • Configure the project main view and configs in an .env file located in your project base folder, e.g. in myproject/.env
    • This .env file should look like

## Contents of .env file
# Whether to use source map in webpack dev server or not
USE_SOURCEMAP=true

# The name of the main class
PROJECT_MAIN_CLASS=ProjectMain

# The paths !!! relative to Main Component in react-geo-baseclient/packages/baseclient/src/Main.tsx !!!
PROJECT_MAIN_PATH='../../myproject/'

# resources path relative to webpack config in react-geo-baseclient/packages/baseclient/config
RESOURCES_PATH='../myproject/resources/'

SHOGUN_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:9876/shogun2-webapp

• Place an project package.json which uses previously configured .env file using env-cmd, e.g.

  ...
  "scripts": {
    ...
    "start": "cd ../baseclient/ && env-cmd ../myproject/.env npm run start:static",
    ...
  },
  ...

Notes

• When working with react-geo linked make sure to configure the alias for ol in the webpack.commmon.config.

• Styling is done through CSS, do not use LESS, as it cannot be changed dynamically

  • When using variables, look at or append your new variables to the Theme.css file in the src folder
