Texture is a collection of components for realizing content production systems. It has first-class support for JATS, the de facto standard for archiving and interchange of scientific open-access contents with XML.

Clone the repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/substance/texture.git

$ cd texture

At the moment, the default branch provides the develop version. To get the latest stable version switch to the master branch:

$ git checkout master

Install via npm

$ npm install

Start the dev server

$ npm run start

And navigate to http://localhost:5555

To run the tests in the browser navigate to http://localhost:5555/test

To run the test suite headless:

$ npm test

Here's how you can integrate Texture into your web app.

// app.js
import { Texture, TextureConfigurator, AuthorPackage } from 'substance-texture'
import MyXMLStore from './MyXMLStore'

let configurator = new TextureConfigurator()
configurator
  .import(AuthorPackage)
  .setXMLStore(MyXMLStore)

window.onload = function() {
  window.app = Texture.mount({
    documentId: 'doc-1',
    configurator: configurator
  }, document.body)
}

Texture is fully configurable. So you need to supply a custom configuration by importing packages.

In order to connect Texture to a backend you need to define an XML Store:

// MyXMLStore.js
import { request } from 'substance'

export default class MyXMLStore {
  readXML(documentId, cb) {
    request('GET', 'https://myserver.com/documents/'+documentId+'.xml', null, cb)
  }

  writeXML(documentId, xml, cb) {
    var data = { content: xml }
    var url = 'https://myserver.com/documents/'+documentId+'.xml'
    request('PUT', url, data, cb)
  }
}

$ npm run bundle
