## Development

### Tech

- [Electron](https://www.electronjs.org) and [electron-forge](https://www.electronforge.io)

- [Lit](https://lit.dev)

- [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org)

- [Bootswatch](https://bootswatch.com)

- [better-sqlite3](https://www.npmjs.com/package/better-sqlite3)

- [electron-store](https://github.com/sindresorhus/electron-store)

- Other wonderful libraries

### Setup

To develop Overt, use [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) (available [on Overt](https://getovert.app/open?action=overt:brew-cask%3F1=install%261[name]=visual-studio-code)) with the following extensions:

- [Prettier - Code formatter](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=esbenp.prettier-vscode) — you should set this up to run on file save for JS, TS, and HTML

- [Inline HTML](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pushqrdx.inline-html) — highlights and allows Prettier to format Lit's `html` and `css` template literals

- [vscode-sql-template-literal](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=forbeslindesay.vscode-sql-template-literal) — highlights `sql` template literals

Clone this repository and run `npm run install-for-arm64` or `npm run install-for-x86_64` to install packages.

Use `npm start` to build and run the app in dev/debug mode. Hot reload doesn't work correctly at the moment, so you should quit the app and re-run `npm start` when you make changes.

#### Build a release version

```sh

npm run make-for-arm64

# or

npm run make-for-x86_64

open out/

```

#### Package an official release

```sh

# Bump the appropriate version number (this creates a Git commit)

npm run bump-{major,minor,patch}

# Build release versions for both arm64 and x86_64, and update the cask definition

# (this command will fail and print a help message without certain env vars set)

npm run distribute-macos

```
