InterSystems Products Support

ObjectScript Visual Editor is supported by InterSystems' products of version 2016.1 and higher.

Installation

Download the latest release from here and import XML file into IRIS/Caché/etc by one of the next ways:

  • Just drag'n'drop the XML file on the Studio window;
  • OR Go to the Management Portal -> System Explorer -> Classes -> Import and select the XML file;
  • OR Execute do $system.OBJ.Load("C:\path\to\file\FileToImport.xml","ck") in terminal.

Then check the installation output, it should say "Installation is complete!".

After this, open the next web-application: http://[host]/VisualEditor/ (slash at the end is required).

Development

Pre-requirements

To participate in development of this application, you need Git, NodeJS and InterSystems' Products of version 2016.2+ to be installed (due to UDL import support).

The development process of this application happens completely outside embedded IDEs in a form of files. It includes structured file tree under source directory, where each file can be edited in your favorite text editor.

At first, clone the repository. It contains submodules, so use the --recursive flag when cloning:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/intersystems-community/objectscript-visual-editor
cd objectscript-visual-editor

Then you have to install all the project dependencies by running this command from the project's root:

npm install

And now you are ready to build the project from the sources!

Building and testing

This time and each next run this:

npm run gulp

Take your ready to import sources in build/cache folder.

One-command build and XML export

To simplify development on Windows (scripts for other platforms are welcome), make the copy of import.bat file and edit the path to your IRIS/Caché/etc instance there. Then you can just use one command import to deploy the project from source to IRIS/Caché.

After setting import.bat up, just by one command import you get the next:

  1. Project is built by Gulp;
  2. VisualEditor package is imported into IRIS/Caché;
  3. The XML file containing ready-to-deploy package is exported to build directory.
