Installation

Until the package is published to PyPI, you can install it from GitHub from your InvenioRDM instance directory.

Using uv

uv add "invenio-modular-deposit-form @ git+https://github.com/MESH-Research/invenio-modular-deposit-form.git"

Using pipenv

pipenv install "git+https://github.com/MESH-Research/invenio-modular-deposit-form.git"

After installation, the extension sets APP_RDM_DEPOSIT_FORM_TEMPLATE to use this package’s deposit template by default.

Patch invenio-rdm-records for client-side validation (optional)

Passing validate and validationSchema into the deposit form requires that DepositFormApp and DepositBootstrap in invenio-rdm-records accept those props. invenio-rdm-records does not yet support them. If you wish to use client-side validation, you can use the included script to patch the files. The script is at invenio_modular_deposit_form/scripts/apply_patches.sh (in the repo or under your venv’s site-packages after install). Run it with:

bash ./apply_patches.sh [venv_path]

If you run from your instance root and your instance venv is at .venv, you can use ./apply_patches.sh with no arguments. Otherwise pass the full path to your instance venv (e.g. ./apply_patches.sh /path/to/my-instance/.venv). The script reads patches from the installed package in site-packages and writes them into the installed invenio_rdm_records package. It doesn’t matter where the script is located.

Note

Run the patch script again after any reinstall or upgrade of invenio-rdm-records; the patch modifies files inside the installed package, so they are overwritten when the package is updated.
