Pyxis frontend plugin
This project is a plugin to be integrated in clay-kiln to manage assets along with Pyxis Backend
The Kiln project that is going to use this plugin should set the following environment variables:
```
PYXIS_HOST=http://localhost:3010 // Where pyxis backend is running
PYXIS_KEY=key // Token for every request
Minimum clay-kiln version required: 8.9.0
1) Install the package as a dependency
$ npm install --save pyxis-frontend
2) Create a folder for your plugin inside the kiln folder in the services section
$ mkdir PROJECT_FOLDER/app/services/kiln/plugins/PLUGIN_NAME
3) Create an index.js file in the previous directory created, importing main components for the plugin and setting them in the specific window.kiln object.
`js
const {
NavButton,
NavContent,
Input,
Modal
} = require('pyxis-frontend');
// Used to export components to the window element
module.exports = () => {
window.kiln.navButtons['pyxis'] = NavButton;
window.kiln.navContent['pyxis'] = NavContent;
window.kiln.inputs['pyxis-picker'] = Input;
window.kiln.modals['pyxis-picker'] = Modal;
};
`
NavButton: Required component to set the button into the drawer.
NavContent: Component dedicated to show the content of the plugin.
Input: Component to open the Modal for the image picker.
Modal: Component to show the image picker.
4) At app/services/kiln/index.js require the previous component created.
`js`
require('./plugins/pyxis')();
To add custom configuration for the plugin:
1) Create a global config if it doesn't exist
`js`
window.kiln.config = window.kiln.config || {};
2) Set a config object in the clay kiln window object.
IMPORTANT: Custom configuration should be set before calling the plugin.
`js``
window.kiln.config['pyxis'] = {
promotionalBaseWidth: 200,
displayBaseHeight: 100
};
3) Set a config file in Pyxis Backend.
promotionalBaseWidth: Base width required to calculate the ratio for promotional renditions.
Check how this value help to calculate the ratios in config file.
