Installation
Use pip to install:
pip install
You can also install from GitHub. Use branch or tag name, e.g. @develop or @1.0, to install a specific tagged release or branch:
pip install git+https://github.com/Princeton-CDH/django-annotator-store.git@develop#egg=annotator_store
Configuration
Add annotator_store to installed applications and make sure that other required components are enabled:
INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.sites', 'annotator_store', ... )
Include the annotation storage API urls at the desired base url with the namespace:
from annotator_store import views as annotator_views urlpatterns = [ # annotations url(r'^annotations/api/', include('annotator_store.urls', namespace='annotation-api')), # annotatorjs doesn't handle trailing slash in api prefix url url(r'^annotations/api', annotator_views.AnnotationIndex.as_view(), name='annotation-api-prefix'), ]
Run migrations to create annotation database tables:
python manage.py migrate
Custom Annotation Model
This module is designed to allow the use of a custom Annotation model, in order to add functionality or relationships to other models within an application. To take advantage of this feature, you should extend the abstract model annotator_store.models.BaseAnnotation and configure your model in Django setings, e.g.:
ANNOTATOR_ANNOTATION_MODEL = 'myapp.LocalAnnotation'
If you want per-object permissions on your annotation model, you should extend annotator_store.models.AnnotationWithPermissions rather than the base annotation class.
Development instructions
This git repository uses git flow branching conventions.
Initial setup and installation:
recommended: create and activate a python virtualenv:
virtualenv annotator-store source annotator-store/bin/activate
pip install the package with its python dependencies:
pip install -e .
Unit Testing
Unit tests are run with py.test but use Django test classes for convenience and compatibility with django test suites. Running the tests requires a minimal settings file for Django required configurations.
Copy sample test settings and add a SECRET_KEY:
cp ci/testsettings.py testsettings.py
To run the tests, either use the configured setup.py test command:
python setup.py test
Or install test requirements and use py.test directly:
pip install -e '.[test]' py.test
Sphinx Documentation
To work with the sphinx documentation, install sphinx directly via pip or via:
pip install -e '.[docs]'
Documentation can be built in the docs directory using:
make html
