@metaexplorer/editor-dev-server v0.0.21

What's this?

This is the basis for a local development server that MetaExplorer-UIs can connect to

What does it do?

It contains a number of helpers to initialize default behaviour for a development server.

Features

• use the NOCODE_BLOCKS_PATH environment variable to set the path where your initial blocks are in. They will be copied to the editor-server's internal folder structure every time you start the server
• use DEV_NOCODE_FOLDER to set the name of your working directory. It will appear once you run the server

• use DYN_USER_CSS_FOLDER to set the name of the folder where you keep your styles. Will be a subfolder of DEV_NOCODE_FOLDER

• to save data to the server before you have a working endpoint, use http://localhost:5000/api/globals. It accepts GET and POST and will save the data it receives in globals.json

• a GET to http://localhost:5000/api/blocks will retrieve all interpreters. A POST will save a single InterpreterRefMap-formatted json to the folder relative to its nameself value (i.e. blocks in the designer get saved in the right subfolder)
