Nextcloud Files - Edit with LibreOffice

Nextcloud App to edit files directly in LibreOffice (via WebDav).

Requires at least:

  • LibreOffice 5.3 (on Windows)
  • LibreOffice 7.2 (on Linux)

Doesn't seem to work on macOS currently (See issue #6)

Automatic install

Install from the Nextcloud app store.

Manual install

Place this app in nextcloud/apps/

Building the app

The app can be built by using the provided Makefile by running:

make

This requires the following things to be present:

  • make
  • which
  • tar: for building the archive
  • curl: used if phpunit and composer are not installed to fetch them from the web
  • npm: for building and testing everything JS, only required if a package.json is placed inside the js/ folder

The make command will install or update Composer dependencies if a composer.json is present and also npm run build if a package.json is present in the js/ folder. The npm build script should use local paths for build systems and package managers, so people that simply want to build the app won't need to install npm libraries globally, e.g.:

package.json:

"scripts": {
    "test": "node node_modules/gulp-cli/bin/gulp.js karma",
    "prebuild": "npm install && node_modules/bower/bin/bower install && node_modules/bower/bin/bower update",
    "build": "node node_modules/gulp-cli/bin/gulp.js"
}
