Local development

For developing, build the app (with automatic rebuilding when changes are done) using:

npm run watch

For local testing, use the following command:

docker run --rm -p 8080:80 -v ~/path/to/fileslibreofficeedit:/var/www/html/apps-extra/fileslibreofficeedit ghcr.io/juliushaertl/nextcloud-dev-php81:latest

Then open Nextcloud in your browser: http://localhost:8080

Go to http://localhost:8080/index.php/settings/apps/installed and enable the fileslibreofficeedit app.

Now you can work on the code. Any changes will be visible in your local Nextcloud after reload (maybe need to clear cache).

Building a release

To build a release, use make && make appstore.

The following things to be present:

• make
• which
• tar: for building the archive
• curl: used if phpunit and composer are not installed to fetch them from the web
• npm: for building and testing everything JS, only required if a package.json is placed inside the js/ folder

The make command will install or update Composer dependencies and also npm run build.
