Input data

The 'MI-JSON' data format consumed by the viewer is generated by the JAMI framework. https://github.com/MICommunity/psi-jami

JAMI is capable of converting between various MI data formats, it can convert the PSI-MI XML standard into the MI-JSON format.

Building on localhost

First install dependencies:

npm install

To create a production build:

npm run build-prod

To create a development build:

npm run build-dev

Usage

1. Construct a new instance of the conplexviewer.App object, passing the target DIV as a parameter to the constructor:

           var targetDiv = document.getElementById('myDiv');
           var myComplexViewer = new complexviewer.App(targetDiv);
   

2. Pass this the MI-JSON object:

           myComplexViewer.readMijson(data);
   

3. Register a DIV to have a colour scheme key drawn into it

           var colorSchemeDiv = document.getElementById('myDiv');
           myComplexViewer.addColorSchemeKey(colorSchemeDiv);
   

4. Choose how to annotate proteins (this will prob, because of MICommunity#80):

           // todo doc - see index.html for example, old way of doing should still be working
   

5. To change dataset without creating a new instance of the app, call the clear function, then call the readMijson() function with the new data:

           myComplexViewer.clear();
           myComplexViewer.readMijson(data2);
