External Dependencies

Note: External dependencies are WIP. You cannot find them on the main CAE instance at the moment.

Beside components created with the CAE, a project can also include external dependencies from GitHub. Currently the CAE supports frontend Web widgets and las2peer microservices as external dependencies.

Frontend Web Widgets

It is possible to include Web widgets hosted on GitHub as external dependencies into the CAE. When a GitHub repository is added as a frontend external dependency, then it gets cloned from GitHub when you deploy your application and everything stored in your repository will be available at {DEPLOYMENT_URL}/{NAME OF YOUR REPOSITORY}.

las2peer microservices

The CAE also allows you to include las2peer microservices hosted on GitHub as external dependencies. In order to work with the CAE, these microservices have to follow a given structure. When you start developing a new las2peer microservice then have a look at the template project. If your service is built with this as a basis, it should not be a problem to include it as an external dependency into the CAE.
