HiGlass Register

Pluggable Track Register Tool for HiGlass

If you develop pluggable tracks for HiGlass please use this simple tool to register your tracks.

Note, higlass-register is nothing more than an agreed way of exposing plugins to HiGlass. You could circumvent higlass-register but then you'll have to take of staying up to date with the plugin registration process yourself.

Installation

npm install --save-dev higlass-register

Usage: plugin tracks

To register your track as a plugin

import register from 'higlass-register';
 
import MyFancyNewHiGlassTrack from './MyFancyNewHiGlassTrack';
 
register(
  {
    track: MyFancyNewHiGlassTrack,
    config: MyFancyNewHiGlassTrack.config,
  },
  {
    // Set to `true` if you want to override previously registered track that
    // define the same track type.
    force: false 
  }
);

Take a look at HiGlass GeoJSON Track for how to write a pluggable track.
