cwrc-git-dialogs
Overview
A suite of dialogs for loading, saving, and listing files. Meant to be used in conjunction with CWRC-GitWriter. Relies upon an instance of CWRC-GitServer to make calls to GitHub.
Demo
The CWRC-GitWriter Sandbox is running an instance of CWRC-GitWriter, which uses the NPM package published from this repository along with the code in CWRC-WriterBase. There is a corresponding server component running CWRC-GitServer and CWRC-Git. The same code is easily (for someone with modest development experience) installed on any server to run your own instance. If you are looking to put together your own CWRC-Writer, CWRC-GitWriter is a good place to start.
Installation
npm install cwrc-git-dialogs

Use
When setting up CWRC-Writer, you register this module with a CWRC-WriterBase instance by passing it as a property on the config object used when instantiating the instance. After registering the module, CWRC-WriterBase will call this module's methods as required.
A simplified example:
import GitStorageDialogs from "cwrc-git-dialogs";
const config = {
storageDialogs: GitStorageDialogs
};
const CWRCWriter = require("cwrc-writer-base");
const writer = new CWRCWriter(config);See https://github.com/cwrc/CWRC-GitWriter/blob/master/src/js/app.js for the full example.
