worie / btt Goto Github PK

this package can be run both on frontend and backend - to ease up working with web view, I'll create a boilerplate for createing apps that are supposed to be used within btt web view.

Mentioned in https://community.folivora.ai/t/floating-html-settings-menu/5788/9?u=worie . Basically Andreas implemented some JS functions that invoke native APIs without the use of webserver. I'd like to find a way to add optional support for those - simply because they should be faster (and can be run without BTT webserver enabled at all, which seemed impossible at first)

Currently if you run npm run build, the build process goes into infinite loop for some reason - i guess it is due to fact that typedoc builds its files, perhaps that may be it but it's a wild guess.

There's a mess in Utilities or Events.ts files - because jsons need some manipulations to work properly in BetterTouchTool. I'd like to create a separate service for managing this part of the package

As of alpha 2.685 there's a new action trigger_named_async_without_response which can be used in favor of trigger_named. Wrapper does not operate on trigger response anyway, so using the new method which works better for broader spectrum sounds like a good idea. More on that here: https://community.folivora.ai/t/floating-html-settings-menu/5788/44?u=worie

Currently, addEventListener method of this package just creates actions and attaches them to BTT.
But it could respect any other JavaScript function, for example setInterval, timeout, fetches etc.

• Requires creation of btt-server subproject
• Add an Action to BTT that invokes specific endpoint / sends specific message
• Save the function definition somehow on the btt-server side.
• Invoke the code upon recieving an event from real BetterTouchTool

as of 3.1, widgets and triggers seems broken. Version 3.2.1 will fix this.

Find a way of easy deployment of the generated docs somewhere without polluting the repo and update the link in the README.md

Just realized that there's no simple way to update the action that is meant to happen upon clicking touchbar widget from the lib - I'll try to add support for both addTriggerAction (for use without btt-node-server) and addEventListener.

Just to prevent further mess in the common/utils

As touchbar widget is just a trigger, this is already possible to do. However I'd like to add a method that'll allow to do it a little bit easier in the Widget Class

Hey there Worie - this is an awesome library, and you're doing a great job! I'm trying to set up btt-node-server alongside this library, and I'm running into some issues.

First of all, I can instantiate btt (which I've installed within a local Create React App) in the browser and execute triggers in BTT. It's awesome.

However, when I attempt to use btt.addEventListener to access btt-node-server, an error prints in my console:

Sorry, you have to provide the node/bash binary path manually in the params

The shortcut I input as the first argument (cmd-alt-opt-u etc) appears in BTT but doesn't have any actions associated with it. It's just the keyboard command.

I've been digging into the AppConfig and I found the nodeBinaryPath option, but when I set that, the app crashes when I try to call btt.addEventListener.

Here's the config:
Browser:

    const btt = new Btt({
      domain: '127.0.0.1',
      port: 58267,
      protocol: 'http',
      version: '2.687',
      sharedKey: 'yourSharedKey',
      nodeBinaryPath: '/usr/local/bin/node',
      // pass eventServer to use this part of the lib
      eventServer: {
        domain: '127.0.0.1',
        port: 8888,
      },
    });

btt-node-server:

BTT_DOMAIN=127.0.0.1
BTT_PORT=58267
BTT_PROTOCOL=http
BTT_SHARED_KEY=yourSharedKey
BTT_VERSION=2.687
PORT=8888

Any ideas? I can just use the btt library to execute triggers that I've already defined, but I'm just curious why it's not working.

There's a bug with type definitions exporting. If you install the package from NPM, the typings won't work. If you clone the repo manually and run npm link in it, then npm link btt in your app, it'll work. But surely, this is just a temporary solution and everything should be working fine when using npm build as well.

Will be done in 3.2.0

Checking out the example clock-widget.js, is it possible to create, say, a button widget inside of a group in the Touch Bar?
