October 2019
Duke developers attended a conference about web components and plan to develop the scholars-react user interface using web components. Web components are customizable elements of a UI that can be reused and are platform-independent.
In the VIVO community sprint, VSTF developers enhanced the developer documentation of the three VIVO Scholar components:
- The scholars-discovery module pulls data from a VIVO database to populate a SOLR search index. The data in the SOLR index in turn populates two APIs to enable systems consume the VIVO data. There's a REST-API and a GraphQL API.
- The scholars-angular user interface is the second component; it consumes data from the REST API. This is written in Angular and used by Scholars@TAMU.
- The scholars-react user interface is the third component of VIVO-Scholar and consumes data from GraphQL. This is an alternate UI written with React and Go.
These modules will give developers many options for displaying VIVO data, and provide web developers a friendly interface for using VIVO data in their own databases.
The VSTF is seeking new and existing VIVO implementations to help with testing and planning of VIVO Scholar implementation. For more information, contact Andrew Woods, Julia Trimmer, Richard Outten or anyone on the VIVO Scholar Task Force.
