Development

Debug the Scrypted Server in VSCode

# check out the code
git clone https://github.com/koush/scrypted
cd scrypted
# get the dependencies for the server and various plugins
./npm-install.sh
# open server project in VS Code
code server

You can now launch Scrypted in VSCode.

Debug Scrypted Plugins in VSCode

# this is an example for homekit.
# check out the code
git clone https://github.com/koush/scrypted
cd scrypted
# get the dependencies for the server and various plugins
./npm-install.sh
# open the homekit project in VS Code
code plugins/homekit

You can now launch (using the Start Debugging play button) the HomeKit Plugin in VSCode. Please be aware that you do not need to restart the Scrypted Server if you make changes to a plugin. Edit the plugin, launch, and the updated plugin will deploy on the running server.

If you do not want to set up VS Code, you can also run build and install the plugin directly from the command line:

# currently in the plugins/homekit directory.
npm run scrypted-webpack && npm run scrypted-deploy 127.0.0.1
