Development

This project was bootstrapped with the VertiGIS Studio Workflow SDK. Before you can use your activity pack in the VertiGIS Studio Workflow Designer, you will need to register the activity pack.

Available Scripts

Inside the newly created project, you can run some built-in commands:

npm run generate

Interactively generate a new activity or form element.

npm start

Runs the project in development mode. Your activity pack will be available at http://localhost:5000/main.js. The HTTPS certificate of the development server is a self-signed certificate that web browsers will warn about. To work around this open https://localhost:5000/main.js in a web browser and allow the invalid certificate as an exception. For creating a locally-trusted HTTPS certificate see the Configuring a HTTPS Certificate section on the VertiGIS Studio Developer Center.

npm run build

Builds the activity pack for production to the build folder. It optimizes the build for the best performance.

Your custom activity pack is now ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment in the VertiGIS Studio Developer Center for more information.
