eLabFTW Javascript demo

Description

This example web page shows how to interact with an eLabFTW server through javascript. It requires configuring correctly the eLabFTW service to allow CORS requests.

Configuration

In the docker-compose file (/etc/elabftw.yml by default), add this:

# here the value must the of the service doing the request
- ALLOW_ORIGIN=http://localhost:8087
# comma separated list of methods (use GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE for full api access)
- ALLOW_METHODS=GET
- ALLOW_HEADERS=Content-Type, Authorization

Restart the service (elabctl restart).

Usage

Run a local server with:

git clone https://github.com/elabftw/elabapi-javascript-example
cd elabapi-javascript-example
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/usr/share/nginx/html -p 8087:80 -d nginx

Modify the javascript code to point to your server with a valid API Key.

Go to http://localhost:8087 to try it out!
