Impresso Common Code

JavaScript code shared between Middle Layer and Front End. Mostly Protocol Buffers at the moment.

Building

Requirements: Protocol Buffers

When a Protocol Buffer schema is changed - e.g. you change the file query.proto, corresponding js files need to be regenerated. This requires a protoc compiler installed. Follow these instructions to install it on OSX. If you have brew, do brew install protobuf to install protoc.

Regenerating js files from proto schemas:

npm run compile

Cross platform compilation

Since the library is used by both Middle Layer (node.js) and Front End (browser) the library needs to be compiled to be used in both browser and Node.js environment. We use rollup for this.

Compile the library:

npm run build

The library must be built before every commit because it is used as a direct GitHub dependency in other projects.

Testing

Make sure mocha is installed.

npm test

Project

The 'impresso - Media Monitoring of the Past' project is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) under grant number CRSII5_173719 (Sinergia program). The project aims at developing tools to process and explore large-scale collections of historical newspapers, and at studying the impact of this new tooling on historical research practices.
