Development

Prerequisites

In order to build this system, recent versions of node and yarn are required. Most likely using npm also works but only yarn is officially supported. We recommend using the latest lts version of node, which is v14.17.1 at the time of writing. If you use nvm to manage your node versions, you can simply run

nvm install

in the project's root directory.

You also need to install the the project's dependencies. To do so, run

yarn install

Building

You can build the project by running

yarn build

Alternatively, you can run

yarn build:watch

to watch for changes and automatically build as necessary.

Linking the built system to Foundry VTT

In order to provide a fluent development experience, it is recommended to link the built system to your local Foundry VTT installation's data folder. In order to do so, first add a file called foundryconfig.json to the project root with the following content:

{
    "dataPath": "<path to your home directory>/.local/share/FoundryVTT"
}

On platforms other than Linux you need to adjust the path accordingly.

Then run

yarn link-project

Running the tests

You can run the tests with the following command:

yarn test
