Test repository to test out Elgato Stream Deck development. This is mostly just to learn how to do it better in actual applications.

There's two components to this, a Node server and the plugin. Both must be configured before it'll work.

The plugin requires a server running on 127.0.0.1:3000 to show anything.

1. Install Node.js 10 or newer. I'm running this on v14.3.0, but it really doesn't matter too much.
2. Install Yarn package manager system-wide by running npm install -g yarn or by following the instructions on the Yarn site. Note that while this project uses Yarn 2, so long as you have Yarn 1.22 or above installed you should be good.
3. cd into the node directory and install the requisite dependencies by running yarn install
4. Run the application by running yarn start or yarn node build/index.js. NOTE: You cannot use node start or node build/index.js, as this requires the Yarn 2 PnP shim to function, which does not get loaded by default in the standard Node runtime.

To edit the server application, follow the instructions here to enable type hinting for your particular editor of choice, then modify as you wish in src. To compile the code, run yarn build.

Since I kinda just bootstrapped this off of the Counter sample code, it's not really organized, but it does sorta work. To edit:

1. Install the TypeScript compiler system wide by running npm install -g typescript.
2. cd into the plugin directory.
3. Edit the code in src\com.theapplefreak.server-count.sdPlugin\test.ts, then run tsc src\com.theapplefreak.server-count.sdPlugin\test.ts to compile. Alternatively, just edit the compiled code in src\com.theapplefreak.server-count.sdPlugin/test.js directly.
4. Run .\DistributionTool.exe -b -i src/com.theapplefreak.server-count.sdPlugin -o Release to compile the plugin.
5. Install the plugin by double clicking the output file in the Releases folder and following the instructions on screen. The counter should begin incrementing once the plugin is dragged onto an empty Stream Deck square.
