This project is based on the Internet Archive BookReader . That Internet Archives project includes demo implementations that are included here.
In addition, this project extends the Internet Archives Book Reader by adding a kiosk mode that can be used with touch screen kiosks.
BookReader.js is modified to accept a new configuration setting, isKioskDisplay, with a default value of false. To initialize BookReader
in kiosk mode, set br.isKioskDisplay = true in src/app/kiosk/KioskReader.js.
Kiosks are typically configured for a specific display. If needed, use KioskReader.css to adjust the layout.
The Internet Archive BookReader code is repackaged for use with the gulp build system.
For syncrhonized browser testing, use one of the following:
gulp --mode kiosk
gulp --mode simple
gulp --mode embed
gulp --mode iiifTo just build the code use:
gulp build --mode kiosk
gulp build --mode simple
gulp build --mode embed
gulp build --mode iiifGulp is configured to accept a --mode parameter that identifies the subdirectory for the version of the project to be used.
Each time you work in this project, a dist directory is created. If you already have a dist directory, the contents
will be overwritten. The dist directory contains code that can be deployed to a web server as is or
incorporated into another project or publication.
Since compiled code is replaced, if you want to develop and maintain multiple projects you may want to copy or fork the repository.
