A Sails Hook Redbox - REDCap

In this example template you will find the barebones requirements for a Hook

This Project is divided between folders

api

Main API of your Hook can be stored in controllers and services

- controllers
- services

config & form-config

This configurations are redbox-portal dependent. They will allow redbox to be available as a record
If you require to have a form in your portal

- config/recordtype
- config/workflow
- form-config/template-1.0-draft
- config/env/development.js
`

index

Main entry point for the hook

$3

Init code before it gets hooked.

$3

Controller routes exposed to the sails front-end

`javascript
'get /your/route' : YourController.method
`

$3

Add configuration and services to your sails app

`javascript
sails.services['YourService'] = function() { };
sails.config = _.merge(sails.config, {object});
`

test

First run npm install

Test your sails hook with mocha by running npm test before adding the hook to your redbox-portal.
It may cause your application to not lift.

`sh
$ npm test

> @uts-eresearch/sails-hook-redbox-template@1.0.0 test /Users/moises/source/code.research/sails-hook-redbox-template
> NODE_ENV=test node_modules/.bin/mocha

Basic tests ::
✓ should have a service
✓ should have a form
✓ should have a route
✓ sails does not crash


4 passing (864ms)

Development in redbox-portal

A docker-compose.yml file is present in support/development and is setup to run the full ReDBox stack and install the hook. To run the stack there is a ReDBox Sails Hook Run Utility in the root of the project

Usage
`
ReDBox Sails Hook Run Utility
Usage: ./runForDev.sh [-a|--(no-)angular] [-h|--help]
-a,--angular,--no-angular: Angular mode. Will ensure permissions are set correctly on the Sails working directory so that changes can be applied (off by default)
-h,--help: Prints help
``

Note: The first time the stack runs it may take some time as yarn initialises the hook within ReDBox Portal. All subsequent runs should be faster
