CODAP Plugin Starter Project

This is a bare-bones React project, created with the --typescript version of Create React App, and left un-ejected. This is simply a trivial React view with the libraries for using the CODAP Plugin API.

Development

Initial steps

1. Clone this repo and cd into it
2. Run npm install to pull dependencies
3. Run npm start to run webpack-dev-server in development mode with hot module replacement

Testing the plugin in CODAP

Currently there is no trivial way to load a plugin running on a local server with http into the online CODAP, which forces https. One simple solution is to download the latest build_[...].zip file from https://codap.concord.org/releases/zips/, extract it to a folder and run it locally. If CODAP is running on port 8080, and this project is running by default on 3000, you can go to

http://127.0.0.1:8080/static/dg/en/cert/index.html?di=http://localhost:3000

to see the plugin running in CODAP.
