bluegenesProtVista

Wrapper around the uniprot protvista protein feature viewer

This is a prototype tool for the BlueGenes Tool API, and roughly fits the expected format of BlueGenes tool API behaviour. It is based on this spec.

Note the following

• config.json is read by BlueGenes to allow BlueGenes to know what type of data the tool supports.
• preview.png is optional, but will be used in the longer term in a tool admin UI to allow people to enable / disable / configure tools.
• package.json is the default npm config but it also used by bluegenes to glean information like the script entry point (main), tool name and the tool's dependencies.
  • dependencies will be automatically installed by bluegenes
  • devDependencies will not be automatically installed and may be items like imtables (which bluegenes will provide on the window) or jquery. (versions to be confirmed).
• src/index.js is the important part - the visualiser is initialised here. Note the method name matches the package name, and note the method signature - this is what all tools will expect to receive from bluegenes
• demo.html has comments explaining what's going on, too, but is mostly there so people can see what the vis looks like as part of a standalone package. It is optional.
