Codemeta Packager — Write a codemeta.json definition in a breeze

Welcome! Codemeta Packager is a web interface that makes it easier to get started writing a codemeta.json file specifically related to NumPEX.

It is written as a single-page application (SPA) that runs in the browser. It generates a codemeta definition template based on the information provided in the interface.

User guide

Opening the webpage should be enough to understand how to use the application; you may also take a look at this help file.

Development

You basically just need nodejs; using guix you can:

guix shell -CPNF -m manifest.scm

But any other way will likely work; for instance the CI uses the node:18.17 image from dockerhub.

Then run the development server:

npm install
npm run dev

And open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

Linting

You can run the linter on the code using:

npm run lint

And apply automatic fixes with:

npm run lint-fix

License information

The licenses JSON (used by the license menu of the interface) is generated with npm run gen-licenses, which runs a Scheme script that requires Guix.
