Writing a saver plugin

[abnlsn]

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to write a saver plugin, and am having a really hard time. Could someone point me towards a simple example or something? Thank you so much!

Savers are implemented by modules of the type saver.

These are all the savers that ship with the core:

Also see the documentation at:

You might need to look at the code of other saver plugins.

At the time I wrote https://github.com/linonetwo/solid-tiddlywiki-syncadaptor , I truly read much code, to get myself to understand those undocumented life cycle API...

[dubiouscript]

imho some scriptable server was (sometimes)helpfull in figuring out what/how was required to save
... but what scripting lang/methods the your server depends on what lang your more accustmed to..

for me (a shell script fan) this : https://github.com/TooTallNate/bashttpd 👍 is.gd
... it uses netcat or socat to "pipe" requests to a 'server'-program in my case thats a bash script , but could be any program/language

see this comment : #3946 (comment)
wrt saver methods

so basicly pick one of

• saver-handler = "file-based save. That means, it saves 1 tiddlywiki.html file"
  and
• sync adaptors = "save 1 tiddler as xx.tid file to a tiddlers subdirectory"

browser dev tools console / network are probably usefull

all though admitedly its a broad subject area

from
browsers: markup,scripting.xhhtp requests,
to
"servers": protocalls ,response, headers ,
...not to mention the server host OS enviroment 🙀

things any one might find usefull to pick apart the tangled techno web
