Book Server

Preparation

After published your Book’s projects, you can use compress_assets/main.lua

• BookServer/compress_assets/main.lua

  the script makes json and zip files

  

compress_assets/main.lua

local command = require("compress_assets")

command.setServerFolder("macos", "bookstore")
--command.setServerFolder("win32", "bookstore")

-- the name of Kwik project and the name of In App Purchase product
--
local books = {
    {project = "Book01", serverFolder = "book01"},
    {project = "Book02", serverFolder = "book02"},
}

-- Use Online Images needs an image file
--
local onLineImages = {
    {project = "Book01", serverFolder = "book01", image = "assets/images/page1/bg@4x.png"},
    {project = "Book02", serverFolder = "book02", image = "assets/images/page1/bg@4x.png"},
}

Notice: For bookstoe with multiple languaes, and Use Online Image is true, a thumbnail image from online server will be requested with lang ID. For instance,

• http://localserver:8080/bookshefl/book01en/bg.png

  For this case, BookServer needs book01en, book01jp folders. Please modify the script with lang ID for onLineImages table

  local onLineImages = {
      {project = "Book01", serverFolder = "book01en", image = "assets/images/page1/bg@4x.png"},
      {project = "Book01", serverFolder = "book01jp", image = "assets/images/page1/bg@4x.png"},
      {project = "Book02", serverFolder = "book02en", image = "assets/images/page1/bg@4x.png"},
      {project = "Book02", serverFolder = "book02jp", image = "assets/images/page1/bg@4x.png"},
  }
