# Mibew Button Refresh plugin
It make the button refresents actual operator's state.
NB.: Actually the plugin adjusts the button generation process. So if you want to disable autorefresh of the button, it's not enough to only disable the plugin. One should also regenerate the button afterwards.
## Installation
1. Get the archive with the plugin sources. You can download it from the [official site](https://mibew.org/plugins#mibew-open-street-map) or build the plugin from sources.
2. Untar/unzip the plugin's archive.
3. Put files of the plugins to the `<Mibew root>/plugins` folder.
4. (optional) Add plugins configs to "plugins" structure in "`<Mibew root>`/configs/config.yml". If the "plugins" stucture looks like `plugins: []` it will become:
```yaml
plugins:
"Mibew:ButtonRefresh": # Plugin's configurations are described below
refresh_frequency: 3
```
5. Navigate to "`<Mibew Base URL>`/operator/plugin" page and enable the plugin.
6. Regenerate button at "`<Mibew Base URL>`/operator/button-code" page.
Beware that when the plugin will be disabled or uninstalled the button **MUST** be regenerated.
## Plugin's configurations
The plugin can be configured with values in "`<Mibew root>`/configs/config.yml" file.
### config.refresh_frequency
Type: `Integer`
Default: `3`
Specify time in seconds between button refreshes. This value is optional and can be skipped.
## Build from sources
There are several actions one should do before use the latest version of the plugin from the repository:
1. Obtain a copy of the repository using `git clone`, download button, or another way.
2. Install [node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and [npm](https://www.npmjs.org/).
3. Install [Gulp](http://gulpjs.com/).
4. Install npm dependencies using `npm install`.
5. Run Gulp to build the sources using `gulp default`.
Finally `.tar.gz` and `.zip` archives of the ready-to-use Plugin will be available in `release` directory.
