Demo

Docker Quick Demo

Clone the repository and run docker-compose up -d --build to bring up ClassExplorer to a docker container.
Check localhost:52773/ClassExplorer/ in a little while - it should have the app already.

Full Installation from XML File

To install latest Caché Class Explorer, you just need to import ClassExplorer package. Download the
archive from latest releases, and then import
Cache/CacheClassExplorer-vX.X.X.xml file.

Web application

Note that importing ClassExplorer.WebAppInstaller class will also create a /ClassExplorer application.
If you want to create WEB application manually, please, do not import this class. Anyway,
importing this class requires %SYS permission.

Usage

Visit [server domain and port]/ClassExplorer/ (slash at end required) to enter
application.

Development

To build project, you need NodeJS platform to be installed. Then, clone source
code and run npm install from the root of the project. This will install all necessary
modules from NPM for the project.

After that and each next time just run npm run gulp command from the project root.
This will generate build directory, where you will find XML file ready to import.

One can import/export the built source to the local Cache/URIS instance (see import.bat):

./import.bat

This will bring ClassExplorer-v*.*.*.xml to the build directory, which you can then package with npm run zip.

ZPM

ZPM is the package manager for InterSystems products. Currently,
the release pipeline for it is manual. The ZPM release should happen once the package is uploaded
to InterSystems OpenExchange with the “ZPM” option checked in. This
should grab manually moved files from build-for-zpm/ClassExplorer directory for the release.

Locally, one can run and test the application using Docker:
