Adding a new resource to the project¶

Two types of resources can be referenced in a Constellation project:

• Files that will be hosted on the Constellation server.
• External resources hosted on another web server and accessible via an URL.

Add a file as resource¶

To add a file as resource:

1. Select the “From a local file” option.
2. Select the local file to host and wait for the end of the upload.
3. Set the label associated to the resource.
4. Set the resource path: this path is relative to the Modelio project and must include the name of the resource file.
5. Select the profiles the resource will come with.
6. Validate.

Add a URL as resource¶

To add a URL as resource:

1. Select the “From an external URL” option.
2. Set the URL of the external resource.
3. Set the label associated to the resource.
4. Set the resource path: this path is relative to the Modelio project and must include the name of the resource file.
5. Select the profiles the resource will come with.
6. Validate.

Hints about the Target Path¶

The target path is relative to the Modelio project and must include the name of the resource file.

For example, to add a diagram theme to the project, you must use the “data/.config/styles” as it is the path where the themes are stored in the project space, and add the name of the theme file at the end of this path : “data/.config/styles/MyTheme.theme”. So when the Modelio user will connect to the ‘Kitty’ project, the “MyTheme.theme” file will be downloaded to the ${MODELIO_WORKSPACE}/Kitty/data/.config/styles" directory, and then the theme will be available in the project.
