Developers #back to top

If you want to edit the code and make modifications to the app, you've to use the files inside dev folder.

The main difference between dev files and upload files are:

  1. dev files are more than the ones in upload folder, unnecessary files for public use.
  2. dev slim framework is set to display errors for developers.
  3. dev files are't minified and compressed.

App explained

This app makes use of 2 main framework: Slim 3 and Backbone. Slim is used for all backend logic (connection with database). Backbone is used for all frontend to build the pages and interact with back-end. All communications between these two frameworks happens with CRUD interface.

Backend

If you want to edit the backend code you can find all php files inside app folder.

Frontend

If you want to edit the frontend code you can find all php files inside js folder. Here you've the main.js file that loads all js files with RequireJS and the app folder that contains all models and views used by backbone.

Once you made all the desired modifications, you can rebuild the upload folder using RequireJS Optimizer (r.js). To use the optimizer you need node.js and run this command from console:


						//Navigate to your app folder

						node r.js -o build/app.build.js

myLibrary frontend can also be translated to your native language. The application will auto detect the browser language with javascript.

To create a new translation follow these steps:

  2. Go to js/nls/it-it, copy the language.js file and paste it in your new folder.
  3. Open language.js and edit the strings as you want.
  4. Open the main language.js in nls folder and add your language identifier at bottom, like this:
    
    								'it-it': true,
    								'fr-fr': true,
    								'custom-custom': true
