presentationAssetsRoot

presentationAssetsRoot: string | { backend: string, common: string }

Path overrides for presentation assets. Need to be overriden by application if it puts these assets someplace else than the default.

By default paths to asset directories are determined during the call of Presentation.initialize using this algorithm:

• for presentation-backend assets:

  • if path of .js file that contains PresentationManager definition contains "presentation-backend", assume the package is in node_modules and the directory structure is:

    • assets/*\*\/*
    • presentation-backend/{presentation-backend source files}

    which means the assets can be found through a relative path ../assets/ from the JS file being executed.

• for presentation-common assets:

  • if path of .js files of presentation-common package contain "presentation-common", assume the package is in node_modules and the directory structure is:

    • assets/*\*\/*
    • presentation-common/{presentation-common source files}

    which means the assets can be found through a relative path ../assets/ from the package's source files.

• in both cases, if we determine that source files are not in node_modules, assume the backend is webpacked into a single file with assets next to it:

  • assets/*\*\/*
  • {source file being executed}.js

  which means the assets can be found through a relative path ./assets/ from the {source file being executed}.

The overrides can be specified as a single path (when assets of both presentation-backend and presentation-common packages are merged into a single directory) or as an object with two separate paths for each package.
