Example of using require() to use OpenSeadragon

Question

I'm an OpenSeadragon newb, and I would prefer to use npm to install it rather than depend on a downloaded version.

I'm having a little trouble with the syntax, and (so far) no amount of Googling has come up with an example. I assume it would look something like this:

var viewer = require('openseadragon');

But then, in particular, how would the prefixURL option be set?

Are there examples out there I haven't found?

Answer 1

Actually, the current version of OpenSeadragon (2.1.0) published on npm does not support require yet. It will be available with the next release and should be used like this:

var openseadragon = require('openseadragon');
var viewer = openseadragon({
  prefixUrl: 'url',
  ...
});

In the mean time, you will have to include OSD manually:

<script src="node_modules/openseadragon/build/openseadragon/openseadragon.js"></script>

And create an instance like this:

var viewer = OpenSeadragon({
  prefixUrl: 'url',
  ...
});
