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.
