Data Directory

When AUViewer is being used to visualize ad-hoc data, a data directory (including database) is not required. In all other cases, a data directory is required.

The data directory is specified either as a function parameters (e.g. when used as a Python module) or as a command-line argument (when starting the web server via command line).

The data directory will contain project files, templates, config, and the database. The directory may be initially empty or pre-populated with some data according to the structure below. The organization of the directory is as follows, and assets will be created by AUViewer as needed if they do not already exist:

• config

  • config.json

• database

  • db.sqlite

• global_templates

  • interface_templates.json

  • project_template.json

• projects

  • [project name]

    • originals

    • processed

    • templates

      • interface_templates.json

      • project_template.json
