This repo contains the editor hosted at https://makecode.adafruit.com .
- (optional) install Visual Studio Code
This setup gives you a local version of the editor and the ability to load packages from your machine. This is the setup to develop new packages.
- install Node.js 8+
- clone https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt-adafruit to
pxt-adafruitfolder - go to
pxt-adafruitand run
npm install
Don't forget to periodically git pull and npm install to get the latest changes.
This command launches a local web server. Note that this web server is meant for development purposes only. It was not designed or secured to be run on a web server.
npm run serve
- go to
/projectsunder thepxt-adafruitfolder - clone your package repo, say
pxt-helloworld - launch the server with
npm run servefrom thepxt-adafruitfolder usingnpm serve - create a new project
- go to project settings and click on Edit settings as text
- add an entry in the dependency section that points to your project
"dependencies": {
"circuit-playground": "*",
"helloworld": "file:../pxt-helloworld"
},
- click on the Blocks icon to reload the blocks.
Once this project is setup, simply reload the editor after making changes on disk.

npm install -g pxt
