## Installing and compiling source
2022-12-01 18:20:24 +01:00
First you will have to install node_modules through npm
2018-04-20 20:07:36 +02:00
```shell
npm install
```
To compile to the source code, you have to execute the build task through visual studio code.
First you need to invoke to quick command (on MacOS `⌘P`, while on Linux/windows is `ctrl+p`)
2018-06-23 21:36:11 +02:00
then type `task build` and wait until VSC will have finished the task.

### Testing the theme
To test the theme, you will have to go to the debug section, select the *Launch Extension* from debug and execute it.
### Adding new Material Theme commands
2018-06-23 21:36:11 +02:00
Material Theme commands are located inside the `extensions/commands` directory. They are split by folders so you can find a single specific `index.ts` file inside a `command` folder. This is a patter choice: so you can add related command helpers inside that folder.
#### index.ts
The main file must return a `function`. The `function` can be `async` or `sync`.
We want to make this clear, so the `async` declaration must be present even if you want to use `then()` for chaining inside the `function`.
##### Example of `async` exported `function`
```js
export default async (): Promise<boolean> => {
...
```
##### Example of `sync` exported `function`
```js
export default (): boolean => {
...
```
#### Using external "mini" modules
We encourage you to split up your command in other small modules so they can be **tested** more easily and outside of the context.
#### Register the command
You must register the new command to execute it when it's called by the user.
Firstly add the command to our commands `extensions/commands/index.ts`
```js
export {default as awesomeCommand} from './awesome-command';
```
Commands are registered within the `extensions/material.theme.config.ts` file.
Just add a new registration after the others that will run your command:
```js
Commands.registerCommand('materialTheme.awesomeCommand', () => ThemeCommands.awesomeCommand());
```
#### Add to package.json
When you are ready to test your new command you must add its declaration within the `package.json`. The command **must be prefixed with** `materialTheme.` prefix.
As the others your command will look like this:
Level: `contribute.commands -> Array`
```json
{
"command": "materialTheme.awesomeCommand",
"title": "Awesome Title For Command",
"category": "🎨 Material Theme"
}
```
#### Build and run
Now you can re-build the theme and just run the debug, you will see your command in the command list of VSCode just searching for its title.
#### Test your command
A test suite is currently in developing. Update soon.
### Adding new custom setting
2018-04-20 20:07:36 +02:00
Soon(ish)®
