Developing and building Estrella itself

TL;DR

git clone https://github.com/rsms/estrella.git
cd estrella
npm install
./build.js -gw

Requirements:

  • Posix system (i.e. macOS, Linux, Windows WSL or Cygwin) It might build fine in other environments. If you try and it works, please let me know.
  • NodeJS version 10.10.0 or later (10.10.0 introduces mkdir -p, used in tests)
  • Bash version 2 or later (for testing)

Files:

  • src contains estrella source files.
  • test contains directories which each is one unit test.
  • examples contains directories of various example setups with estrella. These are also built as part of the test suite.
  • dist is the output directory of builds.
  • misc houses scripts and dev tools. You can ignore this.

Testing:

  • Run all tests with ./test/test.sh
  • Run one or more specific tests with ./test/test.sh test/watchdir examples/minimal

Notes:

  • After cloning or pulling in changes from git, run npm install.
  • Estrella builds itself: ./build.js runs AND produces dist/estrella.js.
  • If you break dist/estrella.js, just git checkout dist/estrella.js and run ./build.js again. Alternatively npm run build-rescue which uses vanilla esbuild.
  • Debug builds are built with ./build.js -g producing dist/estrella.g.js.
