LinkedTV Demo

Prerequisites

In order to run the demo you need the Springfield toolkit.

Server component

Access Lou

Once you have it running somewhere locally access the Lou dashboard using this url http://<springfield_ip>:8080/lou/domain/linkedtv/html5application/dashboard.

Create a new application

• Make dir in <springfield_dir>/lou/apps/<app_name>
• Call this url http://<springfield_ip>:8080/bart/domain/internal/service/lou/apps/<app_name>/properties?method=put
• Call this url http://<springfield_ip>:8080/bart/domain/internal/service/lou/apps/<app_name>/properties/autodeploy?method=put&datatype=value&development/production

Test

To check your tests simply run:

$ ant test

If you are developing and cleaning is not needed every time you run a test, you can save some time if you run:

$ ant dev

Deploy locally

To deploy a new version of the application you need to create a new war and upload the file in Lou, that can be done just running:

$ ant

The script assumes the Springfield toolkit is located in the parent directory ../sprinfield.

Deploy remotely

If you have a remote server running the toolkit you can deploy it using:

$ ant provision-ssh

Client component

Install dependencies

Most probably you will have node.js and the package manager installed so just execute:

$ npm install

Developing and Running

To be able to develop the frontend (the actual AngularJS app) you need few things. I'm assuming you have the springfield toolkit running with the application deployed.

Add a new entry to the file /etc/hosts that looks like:

127.0.0.1 linkedtv.dev

Setup Nginx

The client/nginx.conf.example can be copied and then changed accordingly to match your local environment:

$ cp nginx.conf.example nginx.conf
$ sed -i "s/%ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_CLIENT_DIR%/`pwd`/g" nginx.conf
$ sed -i "s/%SPRINGFIELD_IP%/`curl ifconfig.me/ip`/g" nginx.conf

Include this new nginx.conf into your global config.

Setup Apache

The client/apache.conf.example can be copied and then changed accordingly to match your local environment:

$ cp apache.conf.example apache.conf
$ sed -i "s/%ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_CLIENT_DIR%/`pwd`/g" apache.conf
$ sed -i "s/%SPRINGFIELD_IP%/`curl ifconfig.me/ip`/g" apache.conf

Include this new apache.conf into your global config.

Done

Now you can access the website here.
