  • urlImprint: url of your imprint (other server)
  • urlTerms: url of your terms of usage (other server)
  • urlPrivacy: url of your privacy info (other server)

All required modules have to be imported (see import lines) and added to the array allModules

Module configuration (usually not required)

The specific configuration of the modules is possible via the file config.json (in the subfolder of the module). In addition to a unique ID, these configuration files initially contain a META block with the following variables:

  • "title": Title displayed in the menu or navigation
  • "text": Description displayed in the menu
  • "to": Entry route for the module
  • "adminto": Entry router for the administrator (optional)
  • "icon": Displayed icon in SVG format
  • "index": Flag, whether module should be displayed on the start page
  • "role": Role name used to limit access to the module

All other entries refer to special parameters of the modules.

Index page

The contents of config/main.json and the META blocks of the individual modules generate the navigation and main page.

Terms of use, Imprint, Privacy

You have two possibilites to provide this information:

  1. Create markdownfiles imprint.md, terms.md and privacy.md as described in Install
  2. Provide links to external pages by defining the parameters urlImprint, urlTerms, urlPrivacy in the client configuration file app.config.js.
