Showdown Extension Boilerplate

A boilerplate that can be used to jumpstart your showdown extension development

Installation

Download the source at https://github.com/showdownjs/extension-boilerplate/archive/master.zip and extract its contents to the directory of your choice.

In order to use the boilerplate effectively, node and grunt should be installed and running in your system. Please refer to npm documentation and grunt documentation for instructions in how to properly install and configure both.

Quick Usage Guide

1. Open and edit package.json with your extension information.

2. Install all package dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Preprare the boilerplate and update configuration by running the following command:

   grunt prepare
   

   This task does 2 things:

   1. updates bower.json and component.json to match the contents of package.json
   2. renames the main file in src to match package.json.name attribute

   Note: Don't forget to check if the values were copied properly. Also, dependencies may vary between npm, bower and compoenent.

4. A boilerplate of a generic extension is provided in src/<your-extension-name>.js so you can edit and build your extension file from there

5. Some generic tests are also provided in test/<your-extension-name>.js.

6. Run the lint, jscs and test case with this command:

   grunt test
   

7. Prepare your release with prepare-release
