This is a basic template to develop with InterSystems IRIS

Description

  • The template uses InterSystems IRIS Community Edition running in a docker container
  • It uses ZPM Package Manager to load InterSystems ObjectScript
  • It creates a Namespace IRISAPP without interoperability Enabled
  • It is designed to develop with Package First paradigm

Usage

start a new dev repository with InterSystems IRIS using this one as a template. Once you clone the new repo on your laptop and open the VSCode with installed InterSystems Pack you'll be able to start development immediately

Prerequisites

Make sure you have git and Docker desktop installed.

Installation

Clone/git pull the repo into any local directory

$ git clone https://github.com/intersystems-community/intersystems-iris-dev-template.git

Open the terminal in this directory and run:

$ docker-compose build

$ docker-compose up -d

How to Test it

Open IRIS terminal:

$ docker-compose exec iris iris session iris -U IRISAPP
IRISAPP>write ##class(dc.sample.ObjectScript).Test()

How to start coding

This repository is ready to code in VSCode with ObjectScript plugin. Install VSCode, Docker and ObjectScript plugin and open the folder in VSCode. Open /src/cls/PackageSample/ObjectScript.cls class and try to make changes - it will be compiled in running IRIS docker container. docker_compose

Feel free to delete PackageSample folder and place your ObjectScript classes in a form /src/Package/Classname.cls Read more about folder setup for InterSystems ObjectScript

The script in Installer.cls will import everything you place under /src into IRIS.
