Create Project Using Gradle

Before you begin

You need:

Procedure

  1. Install the gradle wrapper. 
    gradle wrapper --gradle-version 4.6
  2. Create a directory for your Data Hub project. This directory will be referred to as "your project root" or simply "root".
  3. Open a command-line window, and go to your project root directory.
  4. In your project root directory, create a build.gradle file with the Grade Properties plugin setting and the Data Hub plugin setting.

    Copy the following to your build.gradle file and replace the com.marklogic.ml-data-hub version number with the Data Hub version that you are using.

       plugins {
      // Gradle Properties plugin
      id 'net.saliman.properties' version '1.4.6'

      // Data Hub plugin
      id 'com.marklogic.ml-data-hub' version '5.2.1'
  }
    net.saliman.properties Gradle Properties plugin Allows you to create different environments for your Gradle deployment and set up a gradle-{env}.properties file, where {env} is the environment name. When running a Gradle task, you can specify the target environment with the environmentName option. For more information, see https://github.com/stevesaliman/gradle-properties-plugin.
    com.marklogic.ml-data-hub Data Hub plugin Extends the ml-gradle plugin with Data Hub-specific commands.
  5. Initialize your Data Hub project.
    ./gradlew hubInit -igradlew.bat hubInit -i

Results

An example result:

   ##############################
  # Your Data Hub Project is ready.

  - Set username and password
      There are several ways to do this. The easiest is to set mlUsername and mlPassword in gradle.properties.
      For other approaches see: https://github.com/marklogic/marklogic-data-hub/wiki/Password-Management

  - To deploy your application into MarkLogic...
      gradle mlDeploy    # this will bootstrap your application
      gradle mlLoadModules        # this will load your custom plugins into MarkLogic
