Document Viewer

NodeJs package for (reusable) client side document viewer.

The core requirements for this project are NodeJs, npm (node package manager) and webpack:

Install all nodejs dependent packages:

$ npm i  # looks in package.json and installs dependencies

In site/ folder there is a flask based application used as playground. In order to setup and run playground, use following commands:

$ cd site
$ virtualenv .venv -p /usr/bin/python3.7
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ cd ..
$ make run

Playground flask app provides couple of extra features to simulate more realistic scenarios - like slower server responses.

To slow down all server side responses with two seconds, start playground using following command:

$ cd site
$ python index.py --delay 2  # delays all server side responses with 2 seconds

To slow down server side responses with one second AND disable browser's assets cache (browsers try to very hard to cache static assets) use command:

$ cd site
$ python index.py --delay 1 --no-cache

Start playground on port 5002:

$ cd site
$ python index.py --port 5002

For all options:

$ cd site
$ python index.py --help
