This example provides a template for making a package that depends on neuroglancer.

It simply binds the o key to set the position to the origin.

Setup

This project is set up to treat the src/neuroglancer directory of the neuroglancer package as if it were a part of this package. This is convenient for simultaneous development of this project along with Neuroglancer, as it allows standard TypeScript tooling to find definitions in Neuroglancer without the need to regenerate .d.ts files.

In tsconfig.json, we define two module resolution aliases:

  • neuroglancer/* maps to src/neuroglancer in the Neuroglancer package;
  • my-neuroglancer-project/* maps to src/my-neuroglancer-project/* in this package.

This allows any of the modules within this project to refer to other modules using a project-relative path, as is done in neuroglancer.

The typings file in typings/index.d.ts currently just includes all of the typings for Neuroglancer dependencies by reference. If additional typings are required, they can also be referenced from that file.

The symbolic link from third_party/neuroglancer with the path ../node_modules/neuroglancer/src/neuroglancer is a workaround for the lack of support for more sophisticated exclusion rules in tools like tsserver (used for editor integration). It allows us to exclude node_modules but still include the main neuroglancer source based on definitions in tsconfig.json.

Building

  1. If you would like this to depend on a local version of neuroglancer, you can use the standard link mechanism of npm:

    • From within the neuroglancer root directory, type: npm link

    • From within this directory, type: npm link neuroglancer

  2. To install dependencies, run: npm i

  3. To run the development server: npm run dev-server

  4. To build minified output: npm run build-min
