  • Demonstration of how DFN v2 will embed an output plugin using an iframe.

Prereqs

You need Git and Node.js installed.

Setup

Open a terminal and clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/data-forge-notebook/pluggable-output-prototype.git

Change directory into the local code repository:

cd pluggable-output-prototype

First, run the web server for the output plugin

Run the build and server for the child web page:

cd child-page
npm install
npm start

Run it: Electron

Open a new terminal and run the parent-page in Electron:

cd parent-page
npm install
npm run electron

Run it: Browser

Open a new terminal and run the dev server for the parent web page:

cd parent-page
npm install
npm start

Open the web page for the parent (http://127.0.0.1:5001) and check the console. You'll see output of a message from the parent to the child, and then from the child to the parent.
