A. Installation

First we need to install the Spinalcom Drive :

Code Block
languagebash
themeDJango
~/equipment-system$ npm i -s https://github.com/spinalcom/spinal-browser-drive

B. Share the Automate file

We're going to share the file "Automate" so, as a standard user, you can access your data in your drive.

First right click on the file "Automate" and choose share.


Then give read, write and share rights to admin in the menu that appeared.

To access the drive just change the url to http://localhost:7777/html/drive.

Go in the folder "shared_with_me" and you should see the file Automate.

Now we will install the viewer, you Spinal Viewer.

You can have more information informations to how to setup the Autodesk Forge account and import a 3D file (rvt, ifc, etc...) in the our drive here.


Code Block
languagebash
themeDJango
$ npm install -s https://github.com/spinalcom/spinal-browser-viewer

Now that you've seen the basics, let's try to install a plugin. Download and rename this example:

Code Block
languagebash
themeDJango
~/button-system$ git clone https://gist.github.com/Diclah/2887ee1bcf1353d9615a1dcf4c6a0128
~/button-system$ mv 2887ee1bcf1353d9615a1dcf4c6a0128 spinal-env-viewer-plugin-sample

Don't forget to rename it in its package.json.

spinal-env-viewer-plugin-sample/package.json

Code Block
languagejs
themeDJango
firstline2
linenumberstrue
  "name": "spinal-env-viewer-plugin-sample",

Now install it:

Code Block
languagebash
themeDJango
~/button-system$ npm i -s spinal-env-viewer-plugin-sample

Edit or create .config_env/viewer.json and add your new plugin to the list of viewer plugins.

.config_env/viewer.json

Code Block
languagejs
themeDJango
linenumberstrue
{
  "spinal-env-viewer-plugin-sample": "1.0.0"
}

Now use create_viewer_env binary to configure the viewer.

Code Block
languagebash
themeDJango
~/button-system$ ./node_modules/.bin/create_viewer_env

Reload the spinal viewer and the plugin should appear in the form of a button.

Once you press it a small window will appear.

This first plugin isn't really impressive, let's improve it. We're going to make it display the equipments from our Automate list.

To modify it, go to spinal-env-viewer-plugin-sample.

    let vm = this;
    loop(() => {
      vm.count += 1;
    });
  }
};

/* 6: Create the container style */
.container {
  height: calc(100% - 48px);
  overflow-y: auto;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
</style>

Don't forget to execute ./node_modules/.bin/create_viewer_env and to reload spinal-env-viewer-plugin-sample or your changes won't show.
