ed-forge

This npm package will in future provide functionality to load and edit ship-builds from the game Elite: Dangerous.

Following features are planned:

It is meant to be used by other tools to provide functionality to players. This module is meant to be a library to be used by sites like https://coriolis.io or http://www.edshipyard.com.

Here is a working code example:

import { Factory } from 'ed-forge';

let ana = Factory.newShip('anaconda');
let alloys = ana.getAlloys();
alloys.setItem('Anaconda_Armour_Grade3');
alloys.setBlueprint('Armour_HeavyDuty', 5, 1, 'special_armour_chunky');

Setting up a development environment with VS code

Visual studio code allows debugging of javascript code that gets transpiled. If you create the following files, you can debug the code. For now it is recommended to add testing code into the src/index.js file and place breakpoints accordingly.

When you start developing, run the watch task in VS code. This will recompile the library when you make changes to it. If you want to debug anything, add the test statements and hit F5 and there you go - Bob's your uncle.

We recommend using the following configuration files:

.vscode/task.json

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "type": "shell",
            "label": "build",
            "command": "npm",
            "args": [ "run", "build" ],
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            }
        },
        {
            "type": "shell",
            "label": "watch",
            "command": "npm",
            "args": [ "run", "watch" ],
            "group": "build",
            "problemMatcher": []
        }
    ]
}

.vscode/launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Launch",
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/src/index.js",
