This repository provides an ingestion app and service for dataset transfer and metadata registration in a catalog. It targets Scicat as dataset catalog.
Data can be transfered via Globus or via S3 to a compatible endpoint.
There are two entrypoints, i.e. applications: a desktop app providing a minimal UI and a headless service. Both provide a REST API in order to interact with each. Common functionality is extracted in the core package.
The core package contains shared functionality between the desktop app and the service. It makes use of the scicat-cli tools for interactions with Scicat. Two APIs are provided; a REST API for it interact with it as a service, and a Go API to interact with it within the same application.
The desktop app is based on wails.io which provides bindings between Go and typscript in order to write portable frontends in various web frameworks. Svelte was chosen in this case.
For development wails provides hot reload capabilities:
../Ingestor/desktop-app> wails devAnd a build command to build frontend and backend into a single executable:
../Ingestor/desktop-app> wails buildsee wails.io for details.
../Ingestor/desktop-app> go buildlaunch.json and task.json are provided to define debug targets for VS Code.
