About

Wegue (WebGIS with OpenLayers and Vue) combines the power of Vue.js and the geospatial savvy of OpenLayers to make lightweight webmapping applications. For styling and pre-defined UI-components the Material Design Component Framework Vuetify is used.

It acts as a template to reduce boilerplate work for browser-based mapping applications.

Versions

The latest development points towards a Wegue version v2. This development is reflected within the master branch. Herewith some breaking changes come along. In case you have to remain on the v1.x version of Wegue you can use the latest release v1.2.1 or to the maintenance development of v1 in the v1 branch. For a reasonable amount of time v1 branch will be maintained. At least until there is an official v2 release plus some additional buffer time.

In case you want to upgrade an existing Wegue app from v1 to the current v2 development stream please have a look at the upgrade-notes.md file.

Development

Prerequisites: Node.js and npm need to be available on your system.

Dev Setup

• Checkout / download this repository and navigate to the checkout / download in a terminal (e.g. by cd /path/to/checkout).

• Install the JS dependencies:

# install dependencies
npm install

• Run the init-app script, which creates a base application (a copy of the app-starter dir) under app/ to extend with custom components and resources (e.g. CSS styling) for your project.

# initializes the Wegue app
npm run init:app

• Start the dev server with auto reload at http://localhost:8081 (will be opened automatically):

# serve with hot reload at localhost:8081
npm run serve

Unit tests

To run all unit tests using Karma test runner execute the following:

# run all tests
npm run test

NB the unit tests require Chrome or Chromium browser executable to be found.

On Mac OSX with Homebrew package manager this should work:

brew cask install chromium;
export CHROME_BIN=/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium;
npm run test

More testing tips and tricks can be found in the Unit Test README.

Production build

Run the build script in order to create a production build, which can be copied / deployed to a web server. The output will be placed in the dist/ folder

# build for production with minification
npm run build

Linting your files

Run the lint script in order to lint all your files without fixing the errors. The problems will be reported in the console only.

npm run lint

Linting and fixing your files

Run the lint script in order to lint all your files and fix the errors at the same time.

npm run lint:fix

Customize configuration

See Configuration Reference.

Run with Docker

Versioned Docker images are available on DockerHub. Run the latest (master) version of the Wegue Docker Image as follows:

docker run -it -p 8080:80 meggsimum/wegue:latest

Open

• http://127.0.0.1:8080/ or
• http://localhost:8080/?appCtx=minimal or
• http://localhost:8080/?appCtx=projected

in a browser.

Use Docker Volume Mapping to run with your custom Wegue JSON config:

docker run -it -p 8080:80 -v $(pwd)/app-conf-mine.json:/usr/share/nginx/html/static/app-conf-mine.json meggsimum/wegue:latest

and open http://localhost:8080/?appCtx=mine.

You can even overwrite the default config app-conf.json:

docker run -it -p 8080:80 -v $(pwd)/app-conf-mine.json:/usr/share/nginx/html/static/app-conf.json meggsimum/wegue:latest

and then open http://localhost:8080/.

Build a Wegue Docker Image as follows:

docker build -t meggsimum/wegue:latest .

Developing online using Gitpod.io

Gitpod.io is an online IDE using VS Code that also provides a terminal and enables live preview. A registration is required but can be done with a GitHub account.

Open gitpod.io/#https://github.com/wegue-oss/wegue/ to get started.

Wegue will automatically be initiated and your Wegue application can be previewed in a pane of the online IDE. The live preview of Wegue can also be seen in another browser tab by prefixing your workspace sub-URL with 8081-. For example https://8081-YOUR-WORKSPACE-NAME.ws-eu25.gitpod.io.
