SilverBullet is written in TypeScript and built on top of the excellent CodeMirror 6 editor component. Additional UI is built using Preact. ES Build is used to build both the front-end and back-end bundles. The server backend runs as an HTTP server on Deno using Oak.
Development
Requirements: Deno 1.39 or newer. If you installed Install/Deno SilverBullet you will already have your toolchain installed. Convenient!
Clone the repository from GitHub:
git clone git@github.com:silverbulletmd/silverbullet.git
cd silverbullet
And build it:
deno task build
For convenience, replace your silverbullet install with the one from this repo via:
deno task install
You can now run the server in “watch mode” (automatically restarting when you change source files) with:
deno task watch-server <PATH-TO-YOUR-SPACE>
It's convenient to run three commands in parallel (in separate terminals):
deno task watch-web
deno task watch-server <PATH-TO-YOUR-SPACE>
deno task watch-plugs
All of these watch for file changes and a rebuild should trigger automatically.
Note that there are dependencies between these builds. Any change to any of the built-in plugs requires a rebuild of the web app. Any rebuild of the web app will only be picked up by the server after it restarts (which should happen automatically).
