# ESPTerm web interface This repository contains the ESPTerm web interface source files. ## Installation Run `yarn install` (if a `yarn.lock` file is present) to set up the build tools used for JS and SASS. (Otherwise, globally install `sass`.) You also need PHP installed (preferably version >= 7, but older may work too). PHP is used to build the HTML files and apply substitutions. ## Development JavaScript source files can be found in the `jssrc/` folder, SASS files in the `sass` folder. Fontello (icon font) is maintained in the `fontello/` folder. To update Fontello, replace the `fontello.zip` file and run `unpack.sh` in the same folder. This will extract the needed CSS from the zip file and put them into the `sass/` folder to be included with the other styles. To test you changes (after building JS and CSS), run a PHP local server in the project directory using the `server.sh` script or by a command like `php -S 0.0.0.0:2000`. Template substitutions (that are normally done by the ESPTerm's webserver) applied to the files fior testing can be defined in `_debug_replacements.php`. ### Template strings Template strings are used to embed substitutions dynamically when serving the web page. They have the format `%key%`, `%j:key%` or `%h:key%`, the prefix `j:` and `h:` causes the value to be HTML- or JS-escaped. HTML escape turns `'"<>` into HTML entities. JS escape turns `'"\<>\r\n` into the corresponding JS-string escape sequences (`<>` use `\u003C` and `\u003E`). ## Building To build the final JS and CSS files, run `build.sh`. This script also puts static versions of the HTML files in the `out/` folder to be retrieved by the ESPTerm's firmware build script. Files with template substitutions use the `.tpl` suffix. This ensures they are not pre-gzipped when building the ESPTerm firmware, as `.html` files are sent to the browser already compressed to save file size and substitutions would not be possible. ### Demo build If the env variable ESP_DEMO is set when running `build.sh`, those static HTML files will be altered for use in the ESPTerm web demo (i.e. the JS will make no attempts to communicate with the back-end and use dummy values instead). All files use the `.html` suffix in a demo build and have replacements applied using `_debug_replacements.php`.
