Make it easier to embed Nitrogen in some other Erlang application

Hi Rusty !

Currently I am trying to integrate my nitrogen project with another application and have no idea how to modify my nitrogen project settings. When you are planning to work on this task?
any idea...

Hi Shahzad,

Hope all is well. Sorry for the delayed response, it's been a busy few weeks.

With Nitrogen 2.0.2, some new code was added to nitrogen.erl to make it easier to embed Nitrogen in another application. You should be able to pull in the required projects (nitrogen, simple_bridge, nprocreg), and then call:

nitrogen:start_link(CallbackModule).

CallbackModule should expose:

http_server() -> Return either 'inets', 'yaws', or 'mochiweb'.

serverport() -> Return integer port.

serverip() -> Return an ip. Format depends on your http server.

docroot() -> "./location/to/static/content".

handlers() -> ok. Use this to specify custom handlers.

Hope that helps!
Best,
Rusty

Hi Rusty !

Thanks for help, it works pretty smooth now. One more question, I wonder how can I use google linechartXY in nitrogen , i think nitrogen supports only linechart..

Hi Rusty !

I don't know the exact way to do this in nitrogen but I am able to use linechartXY and some other google charts by using erlydtl templates.

Hi Rusty,

Have you made any decision as to whether you will split up the various Nitrogen apps into separate repos?
