BetterWRD Plugin Dev Server

Makes plugin development easier just by using a local server.

 

Prerequisites

• VSCode or any other code editor.
• Node.js. Get the latest version here.

 

Getting started

Installing the required plugin

1. Go to your BetterWRD Plugins
2. Click 'Load from GitHub'
3. Paste https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davve77/bwrd-plugin-dev-server/main/runDevPlugin.bwrd.js
4. Click 'Load Plugin'
5. Enable the plugin

Downloading the repository

1. Download it here
2. Extract the archive
3. Open plugin-dev-server folder in your code editor

Starting the local server

1. Open a terminal
2. Run npm start to start the server
3. You can now edit plugin.bwrd.js

 

How does this work

This uses the Run Dev Plugin to run your local server plugin at http://127.0.0.1:9096/plugin.bwrd.js.
You need Node.js to start the server and preferably a code editor to edit plugin.bwrd.js.
