Development

• Install nodejs (v18+ recommended) from https://nodejs.org/ or via nvm
• npm install to install the development environment
• npm test to lint editor.js and init.js

Updating the bundled WaveDrom engine

The rendering engine (wavedrom.min.js) and skins (skins/*.js) served by editor.html are vendored copies of the wavedrom npm package. After bumping the wavedrom dependency in package.json, refresh the vendored copies:

npm install
cp node_modules/wavedrom/wavedrom.min.js wavedrom.min.js
cp node_modules/wavedrom/skins/*.js skins/

How to Build the Desktop Application

The desktop app is packaged with NW.js for Windows, Mac and Linux.

• npm run build (or ./build-wde.sh) stages the app sources into src/, downloads the matching NW.js runtimes, and produces distributable packages under build/:
  • wavedrom-editor-v<version>-linux-x64.tar.gz
  • wavedrom-editor-v<version>-win-x64.zip
  • wavedrom-editor-v<version>-osx-x64.zip
  • wavedrom-editor-v<version>-osx-arm64.zip

The NW.js version and app version are set at the bottom of build-wde.sh:

bash build.sh --name wavedrom-editor --nwversion v0.115.0 --version v3.7.0

Update both values when bumping versions.

Releasing the Desktop Application (CLI)

1. Bump the version in package.json and WaveDromEditor/package.json, and update the --version (and --nwversion if needed) in build-wde.sh.
2. Build the packages:

   npm run build
   

3. Tag the release:

   git tag v3.7.0
   git push origin v3.7.0
   

4. Publish the artifacts to GitHub Releases using the gh CLI:

   gh release create v3.7.0 \
     build/wavedrom-editor-v3.7.0-*.tar.gz \
     build/wavedrom-editor-v3.7.0-*.zip \
     --title "v3.7.0" \
     --notes-file TMP_RELEASE_NOTES.md
