Re: [galaxy-dev] use or convert tool.xml file for database webpage

[Gildas Le Corguillé]

Hi Jochen,

Note that there are some projects which propose a layer, a web interface, over 
the Galaxy engine.
Those solutions are using the API (BioBlend) to display Galaxy objects from the 
history, and to launch jobs.

Here is two of them:
MetaGenSense: https://f1000research.com/articles/4-86/v3
https://ngphylogeny.fr


Cheers

hmm the problem is that I would like to use this for a publication and
also provide a galaxy tool which will then access the database webpage.
Right now I just have a tool that access the mysql database in our local
galaxy instance.
I guess a webpage would be nicer for non galaxy user.

Cheers Jochen

Re: [galaxy-dev] use or convert tool.xml file for database webpage

Hi Jochen,

I think you will find this very difficult without including a large
chunk of the Galaxy code in your project for turning a tool
XML file into an object representation.

Although the main features of the tool XML provide a quite
neutral tool description (list of arguments, output filenames,
and a template to build the command line), there are a lot
of complications and rarely used bits which make doing
this in general very hard.

Galaxy has at least two sections of the code which interpret
the tool file XML to present a user-interface. First, there is
the main interface for running a tool. Second, there is a tool
preview in the Tool Shed - but that does not fully understand
the tool XML and is much more limited.

Could you not provide a limited Galaxy instance instead?
Just your tool and any other key functionality needed to
use with it (importing files perhaps, maybe some plotting
or filtering commands)?

Peter

[galaxy-dev] use or convert tool.xml file for database webpage

[Jochen Bick]

Hi,

I have a question regarding the layout of each tool. I would like to use
the same layout (same xml file) like inside galaxy to build a standalone
webpage for a database. Is it possible to convert or use the xml file
outside galaxy? My problem is that I have no idea how the xml file get
interpreted inside galaxy to generate the interface of a galaxy tool.

thanks in advance Jochen
