## Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

### Prerequisites

To install Hubl, you'll need:

* A [Hubl Server](https://git.startinblox.com/djangoldp-packages/server-manager/) (djangoldp>2)
* A [Prosody Server](https://prosody.im/) (with [appropriate modules](https://git.startinblox.com/infra/prosody-modules/)) (optional)
* A SMTP Server (optional)
* NodeJS on your machine

Before diving in you have to check your Hubl Server supports the following LDP packages:

* djangoldp_account
* djangoldp_uploader
* an oidc_provider (eg: [django-webidoidc-provider](https://git.startinblox.com/djangoldp-packages/django-webidoidc-provider))

Those packages are given with the last stable version tested.

Refer to the [documentation to install a Hubl Server](https://docs.startinblox.com/import_documentation/install-djangoldp-server.html) with this configuration.

## Build the application

In order to find your server(s) the client application needs to be assembled with the proper configuration.

Get the code of the Hubl on your machine:

```bash
git clone ...
cd hubl
npm install
```

Then create a `config.json` based on your needs, see Mandatory and Optional Modules on this page. For convienence a `config.sample.json` exists in the source.

Then build your new Hubl:

```bash
npm run build
```

The application bundle is in the `dist` folder, ready to be deployed everywhere as a static file.

## Developpers

Serve, watch files & rebuild on change with this command:

```bash
npm run watch
```

Notice that you may have to restart the watcher for the config.json and for locales files.

### Multiple config.json

You can have as many `config.*.json` as you need.

Watch on a custom config file:

```bash
CONFIG_PATH='config.customName.json' npm run watch
```

Build with a custom config file:

```bash
CONFIG_PATH='config.customName.json' npm run build
```

## Mandatory modules

By default, a Hubl includes only individual chat modules.

On Server: `djangoldp_account`, `djangoldp_upload`, `django-webidoidc-provider` packages

On `config.json`:

```json
{
  "client": {
    "name": "Localhost",
    "logo": "/images/logo.webp"
  },
  "components": []
}
```

Where:

* `client.name` is the name of your Hubl
* `client.logo` is an URL to an image file
* `components` is your modules declaration registry

### Optional personalisation

On `config.json`:

```json
{
  "client": {
    "favicon": "/images/favicon.webp",
    "css": "/path/to/custom.css",
  }
}
```

Where:

* `client.favicon` is an URL to a distant favicon
* `client.css` is an URL to a distant CSS that'll be the last one loaded by the Hubl

### Allow to login to your application

Most of other modules will need to have an user logged in, if you want to use communities, then scroll back to the User Registration module, else you'll need to activate the Auto Login module:

```json
    {
      "type": "autoLogin",
      "parameters": {
        "authority": "http://server.url/"
      }
    }
```

Where:

* `authority` is the OpenID Provider. Usually, if you use `djangoldp_account` it's the same as your djangoldp server.

## Optional modules

### Adding modules

You can append any module listed bellow to your `components` entry on your `config.json`

Eg. to add the `notification` module:

```json
{
  "components": [
    {
      "type": "notification",
      "route": false
    }
  ]
}
```

### About

To activate about on Hubl, add this module declaration your `config.json`:

```json
    {
      "type": "about",
      "route": false
    }
```

### Administration

Administration is a minimal modulable admin module for all other ones.

To activate administration on Hubl, add this module declaration your `config.json`:

```json
    {

      "route": false
    }
```

      "parameters": {
        "type": "matomo",
        "url": "https://my-personal.matomo.cloud/",
        "id": "1"
      },
      "route": false
    }
```

### Circles

Circles define group of users that can chat & share documents togethers.

Community module is mandatory.

To activate them, you need:

On Server: `djangoldp_circle`, `djangoldp_communities`, `djangoldp_notifications` packages

Module declaration, on `config.json`:

If you're upgrading an existion Hubl, you can assign all your local users to a community this way:

```bash
./manage.py create_community --name="My community"
```

Don't forget to set some users as admin of the community from the Django Admin if you want to allow them to create new users from app.

```

### User registration

The user registration module allows users to self-register.

Community module is mandatory.

If you set `allow_self_registration` on a community, it'll disable the auto-login feature of Hubl and allow your users to self register on your application.

To activate it, you need:

Module declaration, on `config.json`:

```json

      },
      "endpoints": {
        "get": "http://server.url/open-communities/"
      }
    }
```

Where:

* `authority` is the OpenID Provider. Usually, if you use `djangoldp_account` it's the same as your djangoldp server.
* `authorityName` is a visual name of your OpenID Provider

### Theme checker

The [Hubl theme manager](https://cdn.startinblox.com/hubl/theme/) is very handy for customer to easily customize the main colors they want to use.

But developers should verify that their development use those colors to fit the customer wishes.

Module declaration, on `config.json`:

```json
    {
      "type": "themeChecker",
      "route": false
    }
```

Then you'll find the color picker tool in the header bar.

Changing the color will set them on the whole app so that you can verify that your development take them into account correctly.

### Users Directory

Directory includes a listing of each users of your app and editable individual profile. To activate them, you need:

On Server: `djangoldp_skill` packages

Community module is mandatory.

Module declaration, on `config.json`:

```json
    {
      "type": "profileDirectory",
      "endpoints": {
        "get": "http://server.url/users/",
        "skills": "http://server.url/skills/",
        "uploads": "http://server.url/upload/"
      }
    }
```

### Route generation

Hubl will, by default, generate an unique route for every of your module. You can customize this route by setting a `route` attribute on your module declaration.

Eg. for the Users Directory:

```json
    {
      "type": "profileDirectory",
      "endpoints": {
        "get": "http://server.url/users/",
        "skills": "http://server.url/skills/",
        "uploads": "http://server.url/upload/"
      },
      "route": "directory"
    }
```

Will lead to `http://client.url/directory` as URL to reach the module instead of the default `http://client.url/profileDirectory`.

If you provide no `route`, then Hubl will use the `type` as route view name. If two modules share the same `route`, they'll get suffixed with a random unique id.

Some module don't need any route to be active, set `route` to `false` so.

Components can get the route of a module with `window.hubl.getRoute('componentName')`.

## Troubleshooting

### Circles or Projects are missing the @user list

Did you properly created subscriptions on your DjangoLDP's server? You can quickly create them with `./manage.py create_subscriptions`
