Annotot

Need to persist annotations quick and easily? Annotot, the original mini annotation API is for you. Don't annotate, annotot instead.

Usage

Annotot provides a simple RESTful endpoint for persisting annotations. Just configure your client to work with its endpoint.

For Mirador integration, you can use the provided AnnototEndpoint:

// Within Mirador creation options
...
annotationEndpoint: {
  name: 'Annotot',
  module: 'AnnototEndpoint',
  options: {
    endpoint: 'https://www.annotot.biz/annotot/annotations'
  }
},
...

If you want to configure Annotot to receive annotations from external sources make sure that you enable CORs in the Rails application. This can be done using rack-cors.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'annotot'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Install the gem:

$ rails g annotot:install

If you are serving both Mirador and Annotot in the same application, the integration will be easier. You can just require the annotot_endpoint.js file.

//= require annotot/annotot_endpoint
