This project is an UI bundle implementing the style guide of the OMP (Open Manufacturing Platform). One can use the bundle to generate OMP styled documentation sites with Antora. This OMP UI bundle is a customized fork of the Antora Default UI project. Both projects are licensed under the MPL 2.0. The OMP Default UI bundle was initially created for generating documentations of the OMP SDS WG (Open Manufacturing Semantic Data Structuring Working Group) but can also be used by other OMP WGs and projects.
This section offers a basic tutorial to teach you how to set up the default UI project, preview it locally, and bundle it for use with Antora. A more comprehensive tutorial can be found in the documentation at docs.antora.org.
To preview and bundle the default UI, you need the following software on your computer:
First, make sure you have git installed.
$ git --version
If not, download and install the git package for your system.
Next, make sure that you have Node.js installed (which also provides npm).
$ node --version
If this command fails with an error, you don’t have Node.js installed. If the command doesn’t report an LTS version of Node.js (e.g., v10.15.3), it means you don’t have a suitable version of Node.js installed. In this guide, we’ll be installing Node.js 10.
While you can install Node.js from the official packages, we strongly recommend that you use nvm (Node Version Manager) to manage your Node.js installation(s). Follow the nvm installation instructions to set up nvm on your machine.
Once you’ve installed nvm, open a new terminal and install Node.js 10 using the following command:
$ nvm install 10
You can switch to this version of Node.js at any time using the following command:
$ nvm use 10
To make Node.js 10 the default in new terminals, type:
$ nvm alias default 10
Now that you have Node.js installed, you can proceed with installing the Gulp CLI.
You’ll need the Gulp command-line interface (CLI) to run the build.
The Gulp CLI package provides the gulp command which, in turn, executes the version of Gulp declared by the project.
You can install the Gulp CLI globally (which resolves to a location in your user directory if you’re using nvm) using the following command:
$ npm install -g gulp-cli
Verify the Gulp CLI is installed and on your PATH by running:
$ gulp --version
If you prefer to install global packages using Yarn, run this command instead:
$ yarn global add gulp-cli
Alternately, you can use the gulp command that is installed by the project’s dependencies.
$ $(npm bin)/gulp --version
Now that you have the prerequisites installed, you can fetch and build the UI project.
Clone the default UI project using git:
$ git clone https://github.com/OpenManufacturingPlatform/sds-antora-ui.git && cd "`basename $_`"
The example above clones the OMP SDS default UI project and then switches to the project folder on your filesystem. Stay in this project folder when executing all subsequent commands.
Use npm to install the project’s dependencies inside the project. In your terminal, execute the following command:
$ npm install
This command installs the dependencies listed in package.json into the node_modules/ folder inside the project. This folder does not get included in the UI bundle and should not be committed to the source control repository.

If you prefer to install packages using Yarn, run this command instead: $ yarn |
The default UI project is configured to preview offline. The files in the preview-src/ folder provide the sample content that allow you to see the UI in action. In this folder, you’ll primarily find pages written in AsciiDoc. These pages provide a representative sample and kitchen sink of content from the real site.
To build the UI and preview it in a local web server, run the preview command:
$ gulp preview
You’ll see a URL listed in the output of this command:
[12:00:00] Starting server... [12:00:00] Server started http://localhost:5252 [12:00:00] Running server
Navigate to this URL to preview the site locally.
While this command is running, any changes you make to the source files will be instantly reflected in the browser.
This works by monitoring the project for changes, running the preview:build task if a change is detected, and sending the updates to the browser.
Press Ctrl+C to stop the preview server and end the continuous build.
If you need to package the UI so you can use it to generate the documentation site locally, run the following command:
$ gulp bundle
If any errors are reported by lint, you’ll need to fix them.
When the command completes successfully, the UI bundle will be available at build/ui-bundle.zip.
You can point Antora at this bundle using the --ui-bundle-url command-line option.
If you have the preview running, and you want to bundle without causing the preview to be clobbered, use:
$ gulp bundle:pack
The UI bundle will again be available at build/ui-bundle.zip.
The build consolidates all the CSS and client-side JavaScript into combined files, site.css and site.js, respectively, in order to reduce the size of the bundle. Source maps correlate these combined files with their original sources.
This “source mapping” is accomplished by generating additional map files that make this association. These map files sit adjacent to the combined files in the build folder. The mapping they provide allows the debugger to present the original source rather than the obfuscated file, an essential tool for debugging.
In preview mode, source maps are enabled automatically, so there’s nothing you have to do to make use of them.
If you need to include source maps in the bundle, you can do so by setting the SOURCEMAPS environment varible to true when you run the bundle command:
$ SOURCEMAPS=true gulp bundle
In this case, the bundle will include the source maps, which can be used for debuggging your production site.

The content in this project is a customized fork from Antora Default UI which is developed by OpenDevise Inc. and the Antora Project. The fork is based on the commit with the id 64b526ba9fcd22d6c37dc834126a41c65cbbbe1d dated 04.01.2021.
In comparision, to the Antora Default UI this fork applies the following changes:
-
add and apply OMP specific fonts
-
change colors in accordance to OMP color scheme
-
adapt Readme
-
add RDF/Turtle syntax highlighting
-
disable JavaScript linting
-
increase default body width
-
integrate lunr.js for search (lunr.js is developed in github.com/olivernn/lunr.js and licensed under the MIT license)
Development of Antora is led and sponsored by OpenDevise Inc.
The OMP specific adaptations to this OMP Default UI bundle were performed by Robert Bosch Manufacturing Solutions GmbH.
