dijit widgets #796

Closed bhofmei closed 8 years ago

bhofmei commented 8 years ago

I've been creating plugins for JBrowse and taking advantage of dojo and dijit. There seems to be quite a few of the dijit elements missing from JBrowse's build of dojo. Can more be added in future versions? Specifically, I want to use more layout features, like AccordianContainer and BorderContainer. I also wanted to use a HorizontalSlider, which is missing. I've thought about including the source code directly with the plugin, but seems silly since so much code would be duplicated.

There are some notes about handling this situation here http://gmod.org/wiki/JBrowse_Configuration_Guide#Plugin_build_notes

JBrowse "release" builds will prune away unneeded libraries, which is what you are probably seeing

To fix it, you can create a build of your plugin which will automatically package those libraries packaged into your plugin only. Basically, the easiest way to do that is to clone jbrowse from github, then run " make -f build/Makefile release-notest" with your plugin in the plugins folder. Then the resulting "build" will contain your plugin with the extra dojo libraries packaged inside it. You can then take that "built" plugin and drop it into other jbrowse versions
