MUI - Metadata User Interface

This repo contains the sources from which the base metadata UI deployment of Cerebra is built.

Build process

The build environment requires a recent installation of Node.

# get repo
git clone https://cerebra.fz-juelich.de/service/mui.git
cd mui

# install vite for build process
npm install vite

# ensure shacl-vue submodule is updated and available
git submodule update --init

# install shacl-vue
cd shacl-vue
npm install

# build app (also sets version/time variables to be used for deployment)
BUILD_GIT_COMMIT="$(shell git rev-parse HEAD)" \
BUILD_GIT_COMMIT_SHORT="$(shell git rev-parse --short HEAD)" \
BUILD_GIT_BRANCH="$(shell git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)" \
BUILD_GIT_DATE="$(shell git show -s --format=%cI HEAD)" \
npm run build:app

This outputs build files into dist/app. This can be copied/moved to wherever the application should be served from, along with additional assets such as config, favicon, config, templates, etc.

Config setup

shacl-vue-base.yaml serves as the base config for all mui tenants, and this file should be referenced via the external_config_url by all tenant-specific configuration files, as follows:

external_config_url: https://cerebra.fz-juelich.de/service/mui/raw/branch/main/shacl-vue-base.yaml

A tenant's config.yaml file can then include any additional config options and these will override the options provided by the base config.
