## Stack
Silver Bullet is written in [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) and built on top of the excellent [CodeMirror 6](https://codemirror.net/) editor component. Additional UI is built using Preact. [ES Build](https://esbuild.github.io) is used to build both the front-end and back-end bundles. The server backend runs as a HTTP server on Deno using Oak.

## Development
Requirements: [Deno](https://deno.land/) 1.26 or newer.

To run, after clone:

```shell
deno task build
```

You can then run the server in “watch mode” (automatically restarting when you change source files) with:

```shell
deno task watch-server <PATH-TO-YOUR-SPACE>
```

After this initial build, it's convenient to run three commands in parallel (in separate terminals):

```shell
deno task watch-web
deno task watch-server <PATH-TO-YOUR-SPACE>
deno task watch-plugs
```
