About meta-editor

meta-editor is a GUI tool used for building systems quickly and more efficiently, using meta-system as its engine.

Meta editor is made with svelte and electron.

Developing

As usual, before you start, remember to run

npm install

Meta editor has two development modes which can be accessed with the following commands

# Start a vite dev server that can be accessed trough a browser.
npm run dev

# Start a vite dev server as well an electron instance.
npm run dev-electron

Note: In both cases changes to meta-editor frontend will automatically reload the view, EXCEPT for changes to the electron files. These will require you to relaunch the app entirely.

Building

Similarly, meta-editor can be built with two commands:

# Build the application with vite.
npm run build

# Build the vite part of the application as well as electron components.
npm run build-electron

Note: Building is not the same as packaging and that will be worked on in the future
