clsi-sharelatex
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
A web api for compiling LaTeX documents in the cloud
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The CLSI can be installed and set up as part of the entire [ShareLaTeX stack](https://github.com/sharelatex/sharelatex) (complete with front end editor and document storage), or it can be run as a standalone service. To run is as a standalone service, first checkout this repository:
|
|
|
|
$ git clone git@github.com:sharelatex/clsi-sharelatex.git
|
|
|
|
Then install the require npm modules:
|
|
|
|
$ npm install
|
|
|
|
Then compile the coffee script source files:
|
|
|
|
$ grunt compile
|
|
|
|
Finally, (after configuring your local database - see the Config section), run the CLSI service:
|
|
|
|
$ grunt run
|
|
|
|
The CLSI should then be running at http://localhost:3013.
|
|
|
|
Config
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
You will need to set up a database in mysql to use with the CLSI, and then fill in the database name, username and password in the config file at `config/settings.development.coffee`.
|
|
|
|
API
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The CLSI is based on a JSON API.
|
|
|
|
#### Example Request
|
|
|
|
(Note that valid JSON should not contain any comments like the example below).
|
|
|
|
POST /project/<project-id>
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
{
|
|
compile: {
|
|
"options": {
|
|
// Which compiler to use. Can be latex, pdflatex, xelatex or lualatex
|
|
"compiler": "lualatex"
|
|
// How many seconds to wait before killing the process. Default is 60.
|
|
"timeout": 40
|
|
},
|
|
// The main file to run LaTeX on
|
|
"rootResourcePath": "main.tex",
|
|
// An array of files to include in the compilation. May have either the content
|
|
// passed directly, or a URL where it can be downloaded.
|
|
"resources": [{
|
|
"path": "main.tex",
|
|
"content": "\\documentclass{article}\n\\begin{document}\nHello World\n\\end{document}"
|
|
}, {
|
|
"path": "image.png",
|
|
"url": "www.example.com/image.png",
|
|
"modified": 123456789 // Unix time since epoch
|
|
}]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can specify any project-id in the URL, and the files and LaTeX environment will be persisted between requests.
|
|
URLs will be downloaded and cached until provided with a more recent modified date.
|
|
|
|
