slate-spark

Provides extensions for Slate and UI applications for Spark

Quickstart

1. Install Chef Habitat

2. Install Docker (only required on Mac and Windows)

3. Launch studio:

   HAB_DOCKER_OPTS="--name slate-spark-studio -p 8080:80 -p 8081:7081 -p 8036:3306 -p 8054:5432" \
       hab studio enter -D

   The HAB_DOCKER_OPTS environment variable used here controls what options hab passed to Docker when creating a container for this studio environment. In the above example, we're naming the container slate-spark-studio and opening ports 8080 (emergence http) 8081 (static http) 8036 (mysql) and 8054 (postgres). If you're familiar with Docker's command line options, these can be tweaked or added to however you see fit.

4. Load a sample database (optional):

   mkdir /src/.data
   echo ".data/" >> /src/.git/info/exclude
   git clone -b core/people-terms-sections https://github.com/SlateFoundation/slate-fixtures.git /src/.data/slate-fixtures
   cat /src/.data/slate-fixtures/*.sql | load-sql -

Key Access Points

• Fusebox: http://localhost:8080/webapps/SparkRepositoryManager
• Teacher Classroom: http://localhost:8080/spark/classroom/teacher
• Student Classroom: http://localhost:8080/spark/classroom/student

In this repository

• sencha-workspace/spark-classroom: Sencha CMD package containing shared client-side code
• Client-side UI applications:
  • sencha-workspace/SparkClassroomTeacher: Realtime UI for teachers to use during class
  • sencha-workspace/SparkClassroomStudent: Realtime UI for students to use during class

Technologies used

• Sencha CMD 6.x
• Sencha Ext JS 6 Modern

Getting started with client-side UI application development

1. Install latest 6.x Sencha CMD
2. git clone --recursive -b develop git@github.com:JarvusInnovations/spark-classroom.git
3. cd ./spark-classroom
4. ./build-all-apps.sh

If you have a version of GIT older than 1.6, get a newer version of git.

Then run a web server from sencha-workspace or higher in your file tree and navigate to the subdirectory for the app you want to run in your browser. If you don't have a server you can run sencha web start to run a basic local server at http://localhost:1841.

Connecting to a server

You can connect to any remote slate-spark instance that has CORS enabled by appending the query parameter apiHost when loading the page.
