16Requirements
17----------------------
18
19The ZOO-Client is depending on various Javscript libraries, they are
20axhaustively listed bellow:
21 * `jQuery <http://www.jquery.com/>`__
22 * `x2js <https://code.google.com/p/x2js/>`__
23 * `requirejs <http://requirejs.org/>`__
24 * `Hogan.js <http://twitter.github.io/hogan.js/>`__
25 * `query-string <https://github.com/sindresorhus/query-string>`__
26
27Compile mustache templates
28**************************
29
30For being able to use the ZOO-Client API from your web appplication
31you will need to compile the mustache templates files located in the
32tpl directory. This compilation process imply that you have setup
33`node.js <http://nodejs.org/>`__ on your computer.
34
35::
36
37    sudo npm install hogan
38    hulk zoo-client/lib/tpl/*mustache > \
39        zoo-client/lib/js/wps-client/payloads.js
40
41.. Note:: the Hogan version used to compile the template should be the
42    same as the one used from your web application, in other case you
43    may face compatibility issue.
44
45Build the API documentation
46***************************
47
48You can build the ZOO-Client API documentation by using jsDoc, to
49build the docuementation use the following command:
50
51::
52
53    npm install jsdoc
54    ~/node_modules/.bin/jsdoc zoo-client/lib/js/wps-client/* -p
55
56This will build the documentation in a directory named `out` in your
57current working directory.
58
59Create your first application
60-----------------------------
61
62For this first application, we will suppose that you have setup a
63directory named `zoo-client-demo` accessible from your server by using
64`http://localhost/zoo-client-demo`. In this directory, you should have
65the following subdirectories:
66
67::
68
69    assets
70    assets/js
71    assets/js/lib
72    assets/js/lib/hogan
73    assets/js/lib/jquery
74    assets/js/lib/query-string
75    assets/js/lib/xml2json
76    assets/js/lib/zoo
77    assets/tpl
78
79You will need to copy your node_modules javascript files copied in the
80`hogan` and `query-string` directories. First, you wil need to install
81query-string.
82
83::
84
85    npm install query-string
86
87Then you will copy `query-string.js` and `hogan-3.0.2.js` files in
88your `zoo-client-demo` web directory. Those files are located in your
89`~/node_modules` directory.
90
91For other libraries, you will need to download them from their
92official web sites and uncompress them in the corresponding
93directories.
94
95Loading the modules from your web application
96*********************************************
97
98Before using the ZOO-Client, you will first have to include the
99javascript files from your web page. With the use of requirejs you
100will need only one line in your HTML page to include everything at
101once. This line will look like the following:
102
103::
104
105    <script data-main="assets/js/first" src="assets/js/lib/require.js"></script>
106
107In this example, we suppose that you have created a `first.js` file
108in the `assets/js` directory containing your main application
109code. First, you define there the required JavaScript libraries and
110potentially their configuration, then you can add any relevant code.
111
112.. code-block:: javascript
113    :linenos:
114
115    requirejs.config({
116        baseUrl: 'assets/js',
117        paths: {
118            jquery: 'lib/jquery/jquery-1.11.0.min',
119            hogan: 'lib/hogan/hogan-3.0.2',
120            xml2json: 'lib/xml2json/xml2json.min',
121            queryString: 'lib/query-string/query-string',
122            wpsPayloads: 'lib/zoo/payloads',
123            wpsPayload: 'lib/zoo/wps-payload',
124            utils: 'lib/zoo/utils',
125            zoo: 'lib/zoo/zoo',
126            domReady: 'lib/domReady',
127            app: 'first-app',
128        },
129        shim: {
130            wpsPayloads: {
131                deps: ['hogan'],
132            },
133            wpsPayload: {
134                deps: ['wpsPayloads'],
135                exports: 'wpsPayload',
136            },
137            hogan: {
138                exports: 'Hogan',
139            },
140            xml2json: {
141              exports: "X2JS",
142            },
143            queryString: {
144                exports: 'queryString',
145            },
146        },
147    });
148   
149    requirejs.config({
150        config: {
151            app: {
152                url: '/cgi-bin/zoo_loader.cgi',
153                delay: 2000,
154            }
155        }
156    });
157   
158    require(['domReady', 'app'], function(domReady, app) {
159        domReady(function() {
160            app.initialize();
161        });
162    });
163
164On line 2, you define the url where your files are located on the web
165server, in `assets/js`. From line 3 to 14, you define the JavaScript
166files to be loaded. From line 15 to 21, you configure the dependencies
167and exported symbols. From line 35 to 42, you configure your main
168application.
169
170In this application, we use the `domReady
171<http://github.com/requirejs/domReady>`__ module to call the
172`initialize` function defined in the `app` module, which is defined in
173the `first-app.js` file as defined on line 13.
174
175
176
177.. code-block:: javascript
178    :linenos:
179
180    define([
181        'module','zoo','wpsPayload'
182    ], function(module, ZooProcess, wpsPayload) {
183       
184        var myZooObject = new ZooProcess({
185            url: module.config().url,
186            delay: module.config().delay,
187        });
188       
189        var initialize = function() {
190            self = this;       
191            myZooObject.getCapabilities({
192               type: 'POST',
193                 success: function(data){
194                         console.log(data);
195                }
196            });
197
198            myZooObject.describeProcess({
199                type: 'POST',
200                identifier: "all",
201                success: function(data){
202                    console.log(data);
203                }
204            });
205
206           myZooObject.execute({
207               identifier: "Buffer",
208               dataInputs: [{"identifier":"InputPolygon","href":"XXX","mimeType":"text/xml"}],
209               dataOutputs: [{"identifier":"Result","mimeType":"application/json","type":"raw"}],
210               type: 'POST',
211               success: function(data) {
212                    console.log(data);
213               },
214               error: function(data){
215                    console.log(data);
216               }
217            });
218        }
219   
220        // Return public methods
221        return {
222            initialize: initialize
223        };
224   
225    });
226
227On line 5 you create a "global" `ZooProcess` instance named
228`myZooObject`, you set the `url` and `delay` to the values defined in
229`first.js` on line 35. From line 10 to 40,  you define a simple
230`initialize` function which will invoke the `getCapabilities` (line
23112 to 18), `describeProcess` (from line 20 to 26) and `execute` (from
232line 28 to 39) methods. For each you define a callback function which
233will simply display the resulting data in the browser's console.
