I am really struggling to create do some front-end development…
I have followed the instructions from here:
home-assistant.io/developers/frontend/
I have very little experience with all the node/npm related stuff.
So on reading through the documentation I keep wondering:
- Where do I start editing on my front-end code ?
- How can I get a preview of what I am doing ?
So right now I have added some files based on the state-card-scene files.
I’ve entered the $ npm run js_dev command which seems to exit without errors.
But what then ? can I run for a test ? (Which actually doesn’t work as I get all kinds of missing files from a bower folder which indeed isn’t there.)
According to the docs I need to update the package.json file with the sha of the latest commit.
Does that mean I need to commit first, get the sha, update the package.json and then be able to test or something ?
It is all very confusing. Any help is more than welcome !!
Sander.
