##Package documentation

The development package allows you to configure :

• css

• images

• html

• JavaScript

• The root directory of the package should be named either by the viewCode or CENTRAL_PACKAGE in case of a consortia level package

• Whether you develop a consortia level package or a view level package the process remains the same

• Once deployed the hierarchy is as follows:

  1. For css - use the cascading ability of css and load the consortia level (CENTRAL_PACKAGE) css first and the view level css afterwards
  2. For images and html - the system checks for every file if it exists in each level - and prefers the view level file if exists
  3. For JavaScript - the two package types define 2 different Angular modules:
     • var app = angular.module('viewCustom', ['angularLoad']);
     • var app = angular.module('centralCustom', ['angularLoad']);

  and loads both of the modules,

• For each configuration type there is a specified folder in the custom package folder (that can be downloaded form your Primo Back Office)

• In each folder you will find a specific README.md file with recipes/examples.
