Recommended IDE Setup

VSCode with the recommended extensions (VSCode should bug you to install them).

Important:

Install Volar.
Disable/remove Vetur.
Type @builtin typescript in the search box on the VSCode extensions tab and disable "TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features". Volar has its own TS language server so we don't want to run two concurrently.

public vs demos folders

The public folder is a static only folder. It contains the help md files and end-user demo assets and the compiled ramp library source code. Files in this folder are not processed by vite and therefore cannot reference outside files. This is useful for testing if things are broken between the develop and production build.

To test the files in the public folder locally:

npm run build
npm run preview

Then open http://localhost:5050/index.html in your browser.

The demos folder is processed by vite and can therefore reference any source file in the repo. This is the starting point for local development. For example, the demos/starter-scripts/main.js file imports { createInstance, geo } from '@/main'; whereas public/starter-scripts/index.js doesn't since RAMP is globally defined by the index.html file when it loads <script src="./lib/ramp.js"></script>.

Run npm run dev then open http://localhost:3000/demos/index.html in your browser.

During build, the public folder contents are placed into the dist folder.
