Electrum development module

Module to develop Electrum and its components.

Installation

npm install

All modules are installed in the node_modules directory of electrum-dev. All other node_modules directories are symlinks on this directory. Note that electrum and electrum-arc are symlinks in the node_modules directory.

Starting

npm start

It starts the watchers on electrum and electrum-arc in order to compile the src/ directory in /lib every time that a file is changed in src/.

And it starts the webpack hot reload for electrum-starter-3: whenever a lib/ directory is changing in electrum or electrum-arc, the hot reload is triggered.

Hack

Changes in electrum/src, electrum-arc/src or electrum-starter-3/src trigger a full hot reload.

Add a submodule

To add a dependency as a submodule:

• Import module with git submodule add https://github.com/url-to-git-repository.git
• Edit .scrc and add the relative module path to the list of modules; dependencies should be listed before their consumers (e.g. electrum is needed by electrum-arc, so place electrum before electrum-arc in the list).
• Edit start.js to include the module.
• Edit aliasing in electrum-starter-3 file webpack.config.js, by adding an entry to the resolve.alias section, so that the module will be picked up properly by Webpack.
