WeGA WebApp

This web application is written in XQuery on top of an eXist-db and powers weber-gesamtausgabe.de. Needless to say the code is tailor-made to fit our data (see data-samples from the release section and the corresponding TEI ODD schemata) but can hopefully serve as a starting point for likewise ventures.

Prerequisites

A running eXist-db, v5.2.0 or newer

Quick start guide

If you have a running eXist database you can simply install the WeGA-data-samples.xar as well as the WeGA-WebApp.xar from the Release section via the eXist-Dashboard.

Dependencies on other eXist apps/libs

• functx http://www.functx.com, available and installable via the eXist dashboard
• eXist HTML Templating Library https://github.com/eXist-db/templating, available and installable via the eXist dashboard
• WeGA-WebApp-lib, available from https://github.com/Edirom/WeGA-WebApp-lib and installable via the eXist dashboard

Branches

• main: our stable branch, i.e. the current release version
• develop: our development branch
• other branches are experimental and and will get merged (or just some features) into develop at some point

How to build

The Dockerfile describes all the necessary steps to build the WeGA-WebApp EXPath xar package. In essence, it boils down to

• installing Apache Ant, Saxon, NodeJS and Yarn
• running ant from the repository root
