CodeShoApp

A simple Electron application to show code demos in presentations, developed mainly for the "Basic Reservoir Engineering with OpenFOAM" Course.

Getting started

• Install Node LTS
• Clone this repository
• [Optional but recommended] Install the Iosevka font
• cd codedemoapp
• npm install to install the application's dependencies
• npm start to start the application

Press Ctrl-F to start searching for code snippets.

You can populate/update the code database from the commandline with (After running npm install of course):

• rm database.json
• node_modules/electron/cli.js app.js --update-db

Underline Tech

The app doesn't do much:

1. Maintains a JSON database of code snippet titles, descriptions and paths to YAML files
2. Usues Fuse.js to search through the descriptions and titles; Select the best match
3. Reads in the selected YAML file. See code/syntax/example.yml for example.
4. Uses @glorious/demo to instantiate terminals and editor windows according to the YAML file.

That's it ...

One last note, this is still under development; Please open an issue if you judge something is wrong!

Adding your own snippets

Code snippets are stored as YAML files under code/ directory. Copy code/syntax/example.yml and start editing it.

• Supported code languages are those of PrismJS ls node_modules/prismjs/components/prism-*.js gives a list of such languages

Theming and syntax highlighting

• The code theme is a combination of the selected PrismJS theme and css/styles
