Getting Started

Start the app

Install the app dependencies

After cloning the Salsah code, install the needed node packages from the Salsah root directory:

$ cd /path/to/your/salsah/installation

$ yarn install --production=false

Configure the environment

Before you can use the app, you have to know where your Knora (Database) and Sipi (Media (iiif) server) installation is running. By default, you have a local installation of all of them, then the default configuration can be used.

The configuration is stored in src/config/dev.config.json which is for developer usage. You can define different configurations for different environments. But this needs an environment file in src/environments/ with the prefix name of the configuration file and a new entry in angular.json.

For example: Create a test environment needs a new config file:

src/config/test.config.json

a new environment file:

src/environments/environment.test.ts

which should look like as follow:

export const environment = {
    type: 'test',
    production: false
};

And the end the following entry in angular.json and you are able to use it in a build or by serving it with the command ng serve --test

...
    "configuration": {
        "test": {
          "fileReplacements": [
            {
              "replace": "src/environments/environment.ts",
              "with": "src/environments/environment.test.ts"
            }
          ]
        },
        ...
    }

Start the Salsah app

Now you can run the app with

$ ng serve

This will start a server and the app in a developer mode on http://localhost:4200/.

By changing the code, the app will automatically compile and it reloads the page.

If you have any trouble to start the Salsah app with ng, you should have a look on the angular-cli documentation.
