Posted at 2022-12-08 by @thyttan Some variant of my workflow as follows:
Regarding editing multiple files in the Web IDE, I will sometimes have multiple tabs of it open for editing different files. All tabs can be connected and send code to the watch - just don't send multiple files at once, one at a time (I think). Posted at 2022-12-08 by Hank How do you work with the web ide if you need to check with a launcher, your app and the emulator? Do you upload the launcher files manually to the enulators storage? Posted at 2022-12-08 by Jonathan The tip with multiple windows is super helpful, thanks! I have an idea that requires an App, Settings page and Widget that all interact with each other, just having each open seperately makes it much easier. Posted at 2022-12-08 by @thyttan @jonathan Glad to hear it works! :) Don't remember where I learnt of it first. @hank I don't understand the question fully, sorry :p Please clarify and I'll try to answer :) I hardly use the emulator though and mostly just run the code on my bangle 2. Posted at 2022-12-08 by @halemmerich I like to have a local apploader running to be able to install an app containing multiple files to the watch in one go and then just copy the one file I currently work on to the web IDE and set it up to push to the corresponding file on the watch (as set in metadata). For the local apploader I just installed https://jekyllrb.com/ and run Posted at 2022-12-08 by HughB I use Emacs locally. I am running on a Chromebook. It means I have to fetch/merge code from Bangle/master, make changes, push to my own loader repo on github and then I do a pull request from there if I am happy with the result. When developing I tend to have the IDE setup to watch a file and then I upload it to a named file on the Bangle. This arrangement works for me. I could setup a web server on my Chromebook as well and then test installs without having to do the push to my github repro / personal loader. But during development I tend to start with Simple clock and just overwrite simplest.app.js, its ownly when I have done most of the dev that I create a proper app/myapp directory etc, to do screenshots and README files etc. Posted at 2022-12-09 by @gfwilliams As mentioned, at least for me:
But generally unless I'm developing an actual library I try and keep most of what I work on in one file. Google actually awarded me some money as part of their web apps fund so I can start working on adding Multiple File support to the IDE though, so hopefully that will come at some point - I just have far too much work on at the moment to get started with it |

I'm writing a small app and for programming/debugging I'm using an unoly mix of GitHub editing, Notepad++, WebIde and alot of copy and paste. I'd love to use the WebIde for more but since it (to my knowlege) doesn't support editing multiple files at once and also I can't get the projects setup to work it is really cumbersome to use. Projects worked with the native windows version, however I had problems with the connection including dropped characters so I went back to the web version.
What setup would you recommend for someone who doesn't have alot of JS (and for that matter git) experience?
Thanks!
