Cytomine-js-client is an opensource javascript client allowing to communicate with the REST API of a Cytomine instance. For more information about Cytomine, go to https://www.cytomine.org. See installation instructions here : https://doc.cytomine.org/dev-guide/clients/javascript/installation
The javascript client can be used in one of the following ways:
- As an NPM module for a browser application (install with
npm install cytomine-client); - With a direct
<script>include.
In any case, the client should be used in a browser environment, since it relies on cookies for authentication.
import {Cytomine, User, ProjectCollection} from "cytomine-client"; // required only if used as an NPM module
// Initialize connection (replace CYTOMINE_URL by an appropriate value, e.g. "http://demo.cytomine.coop")
let cytomine = new Cytomine(CYTOMINE_URL);
// Login into Cytomine
await cytomine.login("username", "password"); // or await Cytomine.instance.login("username", "password");
// Fetch the connected user, and log "Hello " followed by its username in the console
let user = await User.fetchCurrent();
console.log("Hello " + user.username);
// Fetch the projects available to the current user and log their names in the console
let projects = await ProjectCollection.fetchAll();
console.log("You have access to these projects:");
for(let project of projects) {
console.log(project.name);
}First checkout the repository, then install the dependencies with
npm install
Prior to the first test execution, update the tests configuration file with appropriate values (beware that the tests will create data on the configured Cytomine instance!). To avoid committing the configuration values, it is advised to run git update-index --skip-worktree tests/config.js.
Then, to execute the tests, run
npm run test
Note that the execution of the tests requires Mozilla Firefox browser. Moreover, the Cytomine instance used for the tests must allow CORS.
npm run build
Generates a minified file located in dist folder, which can be included with <script>
npm pack
The tarball can then be installed in another npm project with
npm install PATH_TO_TARBALL
