A Stream Deck plugin to get a random OverWatch hero for your games.

streamdeck-ts-template

A template repository for creating streamdeck plugins in typescript using the streamdeck-ts library.

Easily start building your own streamdeck plugins

This template gives you a fully configured initial setup to help you get started coding your own stremdeck plugin. No need to worry about how to talk to the streamdeck or how to build and bundle everything together.

Includes

• a streamdeck-sdk that lets you easily communicate with the streamdeck
• a fully configured build environment to automatically create a package ready to be installed by the streamdeck software

Usage / Setup

Start

• Fork this repository
• delete the CHANGELOG.md (it will be re-created by the release process)
• replace rweich/streamdeck-ts-template in the repository.url node in package.json with your repository name
  • modify the name / description / author as well
• modify the contents of the README.md file to your liking

Init

To install all the packages necessary run:

yarn install

Create / Code

• overwrite the example code in the Plugin.ts
  • make sure the plugin instance keeps being exported as default export
• add your code in the Propertyinspector.ts (if you want a propertyinspector)
  • make sure the propertyinspector instance keeps being exported as default export

Configure

• Open the manifest.json file and apply the configuration based on the documentation:
  • Note: no need to set the Version as that'll be done by the release workflow
• add / change all the necessary icons to the images directory
• if you don't need a propertyinspector -> remove PropertyInspectorPath from the manifest

Build

Build the development-version of the plugin with:

yarn build

The resulting directory created in the dist directory can be copied into your streamdeck plugin folder as described in the documentation.

Release

Start the release by manually by executing the release workflow in your GitHub actions. This will use the current state of the main branch to create a plugin-archive that can be installed using the streamdeck software.

Misc

Eslint / Prettier

This packages comes with eslint / prettier and my own very opinionated configuration.

If you don't want to use that, remove the @rweich/eslint-config and @rweich/prettier-config packages. Then remove the eslintConfig and prettier keys in package.json.
