### Installation
CodeRoad is a VSCode extension that allows you to play interactive coding tutorials in your editor.

```
$ yarn
```
![CodeRoad Image](./docs/static/img/tutorial-example.png)

### Local Development
## Why

```
$ yarn start
```
Interactive learning is the most effective way to gain new skills and knowledge. CodeRoad aims to help tutorial creators develop and share interactive content with the community.

This command starts a local development server and open up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.
For learners, there are a number of advantages to running tutorials inside VSCode:

### Build
- learn in a real world coding environment
- get rapid feedback on save and helpful error messages
- users own the code, and can build a Git timeline and deploy a portfolio

```
$ yarn build
```
## Getting Started

This command generates static content into the `build` directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.
### Start

### Deployment
To start the extension, inside VSCode:

```
$ GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> USE_SSH=true yarn deploy
```
- open an empty VSCode workspace (an empty folder)
- launch the app from the VSCode command palette:
- select “View” > “Command Palette” from the top panel OR press `cmd/ctrl + shift + P`
- in the command palette, search for and run `CodeRoad:Start`
- a webview should appear on the right side of your editor. Click "Start"

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the `gh-pages` branch.
### Install

Install CodeRoad from [this link in the VSCode Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodeRoad.coderoad).

- You may need to reload the window (`ctrl/cmd + R`)
- See ["Start"](#start) to get started.

### Requirements

- OS: MacOS, Windows, Linux
- VSCode 1.39.2+
- Node.js 10+
- Git

## How CodeRoad Works

Read more in the docs about [how CodeRoad works](https://coderoad.github.io/docs/how-coderoad-works).

Learn more about [how tutorials area created](https://coderoad.github.io/docs/build-tutorial).

## Editing Tutorials

Tutorials can be edited directly as markdown on Github.

## Development

To run the extension locally:

- copy environmental variables from `/web-app/.env.example` as `/web-app/.env`
- install dependencies with `yarn install-all`
- build the extension with `yarn build`
- open the extension with the vscode extension debugger by pressing F5. In the new window, open CodeRoad.

To test a packaged build locally:

- if on Mac, ensure you have [VSCode command line tools](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/mac#_launching-from-the-command-line) installed
- run `yarn package`. It will build the extension and install it locally.
- open a new vscode window and launch the new version of CodeRoad
