NSIDC Search Portal

An Opensearch-based single page search interface.

TODO:

Branch srch-28 represents work in progress to switch from RequireJS to ES6-style code structure, including the use of npm and webpack to manage dependencies and build a deployable artifact (i.e. bundle). See DEVELOPMENT.md for additional details regarding the work remaining to finish this effort.

OPS Configuration Information

Upon completion of soac-28 and related stories, the portal will be deployed by loading a bundle created by Webpack into a Drupal context (i.e. including the bundle in an HTML document managed by Drupal).

On dev VM

Run a standalone version of the application by building a VM using the soac-webapp-vm configuration. The application is served by nginx running as a service on the VM. nginx can be stopped/started/etc using the system service command, e.g., service nginx restart.

nginx writes logfiles by default to /var/log/nginx; all logs should be in this folder.

Prerequisites:

• Node (includes npm)
• Install the ruby gems - bundle install
• Install the npm modules - npm install

Project Dependencies

The search portal requires some external services to be active. The local webserver can be configured to use public URLs from the internet or URLs under localhost to access services running locally (see more under "External services"). To have the full stack of NSIDC applications running locally, you will need to have these projects running/availalble on your infrastructure.

• Dataset Search Services
• Dataset Catalog Services
• NSIDC Solr

Development notes

See DEVELOPMENT.md.
