Integrating with GPMDP from External Applications

There are two methods you can use to integrate with GPMDP from an external application.

Both are documented in the Docs folder. For one time read access you should probably use the JSON interface. For an application that requires continuous updates as to the state of GPMDP or needs to control GPMDP you should use the Web Socket interface.

Issues

If you have any bugs / issues please check the FAQ first before raising an issue

Development

To get started just pull the repo and run the following

npm install
npm run build
npm start

To build the installers / release packages you need to run, you can only build a platforms installer from that platform.

# Windows
npm run make:win

# Mac OS X
npm run make:darwin

# Ubuntu (Requires the 'dpkg' package)
npm run make:deb

# Fedora (Requires the 'rpm' package)
npm run make:rpm

All releases will be signing with my Code Signing Certificates (Authenticode on Windows and Codesign on OS X)

Please see the development FAQ for additional requirements for building.
