Application Configuration

Principle

GeoNetwork UI provides a standard way of configuring applications using the default.toml file.

This file can be used to:

• customize the URL used to reach the GeoNetwork 4 API
• indicate an optional proxy path to the application
• indicate a metadata language to be used when searching
• customize the theme used in the application (colors, fonts...)
• define custom translations for the different languages

Please refer to the configuration guide as well as embedded comments in the file for more information.

The util/app-config library

This library is the one which should be used when parsing a configuration file. Using a configuration file is not mandatory, each application can decide whether this is relevant.

Only applications should rely on the util/app-config library! The other libraries should never assume that an application config is present, as this can very often not be the case (e.g. for web components).
