grist-widget

A repository of Grist custom widgets that have no back-end requirements.

Custom hosting

To use this repository for your own Grist instance, you need to copy all the files to your own hosting provider and recreate the manifest.json file used by Grist.

yarn install
yarn run build

To tell your Grist instance to use your repository set the GRIST_WIDGET_LIST_URL environmental variable to URL of the manifest.json file, for example

GRIST_WIDGET_LIST_URL=https:/<your address>/manifest.json npm start

Developing

To run a local widget server in a watch mode, with automatic reload use:

yarn install
yarn run dev

This will start local development server that will host contents of this repository, recreate the manifest.json file on every change and replace grist-plugin-api.js URL to one provided by your own Grist instance, assuming it is available at http://localhost:8484, to override the port use:

GRIST_PORT=<your port> yarn run dev

Next start Grist with an URL pointing to a local widget manifest file:

GRIST_WIDGET_LIST_URL=http://localhost:8585/manifest.json npm start

Alternatively you can run the widget repository development server alongside with the Grist docker image preconfigured to use it:

yarn run grist:serve

or run it in development mode with automatic reload:

yarn install
yarn run grist:dev
