Add as a dependency in your angular app

• add @hmcts/document-viewer-webcomponent as a dependency in package.json

• import DocumentViewerModule and declare it in your NgModule imports.

  For example:

  import { DocumentViewerModule } from 'document-viewer-webcomponent';
  
  @NgModule({
    imports: [
      ...,
      DocumentViewerModule,
    ]
  })
  

• import assets to your angular.json

    {
        "glob": "**/*",
        "input": "node_modules/@hmcts/document-viewer-webcomponent/assets",
        "output": "/assets"
    }
  

• and styles

  "styles": [
    "node_modules/@hmcts/document-viewer-webcomponent/assets/aui-styles.scss",
    ...
  ],
  

• import JS dependencies as scripts within angular.json

  "scripts": [
      "node_modules/@hmcts/document-viewer-webcomponent/assets/js/pdf.combined.min.js",
      "node_modules/@hmcts/document-viewer-webcomponent/assets/js/pdf_viewer.min.js",
      "node_modules/@hmcts/document-viewer-webcomponent/assets/js/pdf-annotate.min.js"
      ...
  ]
  

• component entry point:

  <app-document-viewer
      [baseUrl]="'http://localhost:3000/api'"
      [annotate]="true"
      [url]="'https://dm-store-aat.service.core-compute-aat.internal/documents/35f3714e-30e0-45d6-b4fb-08f51c271f8e'"
  ></app-document-viewer>
  

  for non document store files:

  <app-document-viewer
      [baseUrl]="'http://localhost:3000/api'"
      [annotate]="false"
      [url]="'http://localhost:3000/assets/non-dm.pdf'"
      [isDM]="false"
      [contentType]="'pdf'">
  </app-document-viewer>
  

  Note: The file needs to be retrievable.

Running development application

• pull and start the docker containers :

  az login
  az acr login --name hmcts --subscription 1c4f0704-a29e-403d-b719-b90c34ef14c9
  docker-compose -f docker-compose-dependencies.yml pull
  docker-compose -f docker-compose-dependencies.yml up
  

• build and start node server

  npm run build:node
  npm run start:node;
  

• build the angular component library :

  npm run package
  

• start angular app

  npm run start:ng;
