retentful

Widget

This is the button widget that you import into the app

Folders:

• dist: the build output folder for the widget. This gets imported by client apps
• example: a nextjs sample app that imports the widget. used for dev
• src: the widget code

Getting started

The dev experience is different than a normal web app. We need to rebuild the widget on every save so that the example/ web app imports the latest version.

For this we need two processes:

• one for continously building the widget on save
• another for running the example app which imports the build output of the widget

To start the widget build process (this uses the -w option to auto-rebuild on save):

bun run build

In another process, start the web app:

cd example && bun dev

Troubleshooting

If the web app says the @retentful package doesn't exist, try running npm link ../dist from the example/
