@pixi-build-tools/fiddle

PixiJS + webpack + Babel + @pixi/eslint-config

This package spun off of @alkamin's pixijs-template repo. I have tuned this for local development of PixiJS so that you can test your changes to pixi.js-related packages locally.

The use of ECMAScript allows you to copy/paste your fiddle to online JavaScript editors like CodePen.

Usage

Clone the repository and create your first fiddle:

1. git clone https://github.com/SukantPal/pixi-fiddle
2. npm run open -- --fiddle basic-fiddle
3. npm run start

The entry point is src/index.js. This will be initialized with some boilerplate code.

Your fiddles are stored in the fiddle-workspace directory. This package helps you copy fiddles from and to the source directory src.

Commands

• open: npm run open -- --fiddle my-fiddle

  This will save the current fiddle and "open" the fiddle passed via --fiddle. Opening a fiddle just copies its contents into the source directory.

  You can pass a --no-save option to "forget" the current fiddle state.

  This is also the current way to create a new fiddle!

• flush: npm run flush

  This will save the current fiddle. You can use this before you start tearing down stuff in your fiddle for refactoring/restructuring something big!

• delete: npm run delete my-fiddle

  This is used to delete the fiddle saved in fiddle-workspace. It will not reset the source directory contents.

• pwf: npm run pwf

  This will "print working fiddle" or the fiddle that is currently opened in src.

• revise: npm run revise

  This will change the version suffix of your fiddle name. You can use this before flushing your fiddle to keep a "history" of your changes. If the current fiddle is my-fiddle, then it will become my-fiddle-1.

• export: npm run export

  This will rollup all JS files in your src directory using RollupJS. It also "tries" to erase any local requires to packages given in pkgWatch (config file). The resulting fiddle is placed in the export directory.

Config File

You can create a config file fiddle.config.json to register your local PixiJS repo. For example,

{
    "pkgWatch": {
        "pixi.js": "../pixi.js/bundles/pixi.js/lib/pixi"
    }
}

Make sure path is to the CommonJS bundle (not the project root). Support for adding more packages will be added.

Template

If you want to change what code new fiddles have, change the tools/template folder and update template.registrar.json with the files you want "processed".

Assets

All assets are placed in the src/assets/ directory and will be available to the app at assets/.

Scripts

• npm run start - start the development server
• npm run build - build a deployable bundle
• npm run reinit - after cloning the repo, run this command to re-initialize the repository for your own project
