Hi, I have been making some changes to the page-map.ts code within my custom-project /ui directory. I easily got these changes to show over yarn serve, on the ‘custom’ app that comes with the custom-project template code.
I would like to know ( if it’s possible at all ) how to override the default /manager app’s UI. For example, the /manager setup from openremote already contains all the goodies, however I would like to add some functionality to the map page such as for example a button to choose geojson layer visibility. Would it be possible to rebuild the image and put the files inside of deployment/manager/app in order to override the default page-map.ts setup from openremote?
Would someone have done this beforehand or could give some steps as how to accomplish this. Or would a completely custom ‘app’ have to be made to support this?
The manager app is baked into the manager docker image but you could definitely copy/paste the manager app from the main repo and add it to your custom project then volume map that over the /opt/web/manager path on the manager service.
It may be best to build a separate manager-ui-deployment image to the deployment image as that gets volume mapped into the manager at /deployment already.
@panos needs to do something similar for his fleet management custom project so maybe he’s already done it and you can see what he’s done.
The manager isn’t intended to be used as a customisable app but is an admin tool, there is already a lot of runtime customisation that can be done but it has limits.
Would be interested in hearing what you’re doing to the map and whether it is something maybe worth contributing back to the project if you’d be interested?
Thanks for that input!
Yes, it would be great to hear from @panos if he has done something similar already.
Well, at the moment I have added simple ‘layer selection’ to the map, to be able to change visibility of some layers as needed, so as to not crowd the map with too much data.
The next steps would be adding some form of date/time selection, to allow querying data for specific time-frames, for example querying a database of satellite imagery, to be able to show data for the last two weeks, or say a specific time-frame between October-November of last year and so on. It would be nice to allow this functionality on the /manager side as well, however, it does work well on custom apps, using the custom-project template for example. There I can add such functionality through the /ui directory and I used the default page-map.ts from openremote and simply added the necessary changes.
