Setting up

GitHub Templates

Click the green "Use this template" button on this repository, which will create a new repository based on this one.

Clone your new repo into your NodeCG installation's bundles folder:

git clone [email protected]:<username>/my-awesome-bundle.git

Open package.json and change the name field to the name of your repository, otherwise NodeCG will refuse to start it.

Run yarn to install dependencies.

Manual setup

Clone this repo into your NodeCG installation's bundles folder. You'll likely want to use a different name, like so:

git clone [email protected]:ystv/nodecg-react-boilerplate.git my-awesome-bundle

If you used a different name, go into package.json and change the name field to the name of your folder, otherwise NodeCG will refuse to start it.

Run yarn to install dependencies.

Usage

To start, run yarn start, and run NodeCG in a separate terminal.

To create additional dashboards/graphics, create files called src/dashboard/index.{name}.tsx or src/graphics/index.{name}.tsx - each one will be wrapped into a HTML page called dashboard/{name}.html or graphics/{name}.html. Then just reference it in package.json under nodecg. (If you want to customise the generated HTML, create a file called index.{name}.html.)

You can import files from the src/common folder simply by using import foo from "common/foo" no matter how deep you are in a directory hierarchy.

If you use NodeCG's replicant schemas or bundle configuration, you can run yarn schema to generate a TypeScript declaration file from those schemas - these will be placed in src/common/types.

If you want to use Storybook with React, create files called {name}.stories.tsx following the Storybook standards and run yarn storybook.
