# lodex-v2
## Development
First, run the following command to install dependencies:
```sh
make install
```
Then, starts the development environment by running:
```sh
make docker-run-dev
```
This will initialize the docker containers which can take some time.
When done, three containers will be running:
- `lodexv2_mongo_1`: the mongo server
- `lodexv2_server_1`: the API server (node process) running at `http://localhost:3000`
- `lodexv2_devserver_1`: the webpack server for the frontend running at `http://localhost:8080`
The default username and password are specified in the `./config.json` file along with default `naan` and `subpublisher` for ARK generation.
To access the mongo shell, run:
```sh
make mongo-shell
```
## Tests
Ensure you initialized the development environment first.
To execute all tests, run the following command:
```sh
make test
```
## Adding a new loader
You can add new loaders to lodex.
Loaders are added in the `src/api/loaders` directory.
A loader receives a config and the uploaded file as a stream, and returns the modified stream.
Example of a csv parser:
```js
// src/api/loaders/parseCsv.js
import parseCsv from 'csv-parse';
export default config => stream =>
stream.pipe(parseCsv({
columns: true,
...config,
}));
```
Once the loader created, you also need to declare it in `src/api/loaders/index.js`
```js
import parseCsv from './parseCsv'; // eslint-disable-line
export default {
// ...
'csv': parseCsv,
};
```
Notice how the key will determine the name of the loader.
This name must match the extension of the target file.
This is how we determine which loader to use.
Thus, a loader for `.csv` file must be exported as `csv`.
The config is taken from config.json, in `loader.<file extension>`, and allow to configure your loader on an instance basis.
For example for the loader csv:
```json
...
"loader": {
"csv": {
"quote": "\"",
"delimiter": ";"
},
...
```
## Adding new exporter
You can add new exporter to lodex.
Exporter are added in the `src/api/exporters` directory.
```js
export default (fields, characteristics, stream) => {
const defaultDocument = getDefaultDocuments(fields);
const getCharacteristicByName = name => characteristics[0][name];
const getCsvField = getCsvFieldFactory(getCharacteristicByName);
const jsoncsvStream = csvTransformStreamFactory({
fields: fields.map(getCsvField),
fieldSeparator: ';',
});
return stream
.pipe(through(getLastVersionFactory(defaultDocument)))
.pipe(jsoncsvStream);
}
```
It receives:
- fields
The list of fields
```json
{
"cover" : "collection", // either dataset, collection or document
"label" : "uri", // label of the field
"name" : "uri", // technical name of the field
"transformers" : [], // list of transformers used to compute the field from the original dataset
"format" : { // the format used to display the field
"name" : "uri"
},
"scheme": "http://uri4uri.net/vocab#URI"
}
```
or
```json
{
"contribution" : true,
"name" : "note",
"cover" : "document",
"label" : "Contribution",
"scheme" : "http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#note",
"contributors" : [
{
"name" : "john",
"mail" : "john@doe.com"
}
]
}
```
- characteristics
The list of all version of the characteristics sorted by their publicationDate (newer to oldest)
```json
{
"title" : "My title",
"Author" : "Myself",
"publicationDate" : "2017-02-22T09:56:07.765Z"
}
```
- stream
A stream of all document in the published dataset.
```json
{
"uri" : "HKPNG4WD",
"versions" : [ // list of all versions for the document (oldest to newest)
{
"key" : "value",
...
},
{
"key" : "value",
"contribution" : "other value"
...
}
],
"contributions" : [
{
"fieldName" : "contribution",
"contributor" : {
"name" : "john",
"mail" : "john@doe.com"
},
"accepted" : false
}
]
}
```
You also need to declare the exporter in `src/api/exporters/index.js`.
```js
import newExporter from './newExporter';
export default {
//...
'new': newExporter,
};
```
note that the key determine the name of the exporter
The exporters must be declared on a per instance basis in the config file.
Simply add your exporter name in the exporters array, and it will appear in the export menu.
```json
// config.json
{
...
"exporters": [
"new",
...
]
}
```
## Adding a new format
You can add new formats to lodex.
The formats determine the react component used to display a field on the front.
Formats are added in the `src/app/formats` folder, in their own directory.
Eg, to add an uri format create the `src/app/formats/uri` directory
A format is made of two components A view component for the front, and an edition component for the admin.
Those component can be any react component.
You then add an index in your directory to expose them:
```js
`src/app/formats/uri/index.js`
import Component from './Component';
import EditionComponent from './EditionComponent';
export default {
Component,
EditionComponent,
};
```
Finally add your new component into `src/app/formats/index.js`:
```js
import uri from './uri';
import custom from './custom';
const components = {
uri,
custom, // add your component here.
};
...
```
## Adding transformers
New transformers can be added in `src/common/transformers`
```js
// src/common/transformers/COLUMN.js
const transformation = (context, args) => {
const sourceField = args.find(a => a.name === 'column');
if (!sourceField) {
throw new Error('Invalid Argument for COLUMN transformation');
}
return doc => new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
try {
if (!doc) {
resolve(null);
return;
}
resolve(doc[sourceField.value]);
} catch (error) {
reject(error);
}
});
};
transformation.getMetas = () => ({
name: 'COLUMN',
args: [{
name: 'column',
type: 'column',
}],
});
export default transformation;
```
A transformer can be divided in two parts a transformation function,
and a getMetas method.
### transformation
The transformation function take a context and an array of arguments.
#### Context
The context differ based on the environment.
This context allow to know the environment (context.env):
- node: server side during publication
- browser: client side during preview
Based on the env, the context expose different functionality.
In node:
- dataset: The dataset model that allow to execute mongo queries on the dataset collection.
- fetchLineBy(field, value): That allow to get a raw dataset line where its field equal value.
In browser:
- token: authentification token of the current session
- fetchLineBy(field, value, token): Same as fetchLineBy but also need the token.
##### Extending the context
To add method to the context, you need to edit the code in two place.
- clientSide: in `src/app/lib/getDocumentTransformer`.
- Serverside: in `src/api/services/getDocumentTransformer`, notice that you have access to ctx object from koa.
#### arguments
The array of arguments representing the configuration of the transformer given by the user.
### getMetas
A function that return a meta object describing the transformer and its arguments.
```js
transformation.getMetas = () => ({
name: 'COLUMN',
args: [{
name: 'column',
type: 'column',
}],
});
```
The meta object have the following keys
- name: the name of the transformer, as displayed on the admin
- args: Array describing each args needed by the transformer.
+ name: The name of the arg as displayed in the admin
+ type: The type of the arg, either:
- column: the value is the name of a column in the original dataset
- string: a string
