Current Plan for Development:

• If the relevant QA Site post gets resolved via a public announcement and/or the inclusion of a license:
  • all generated files will be included in the repo
  • Docs.json may be included
  • Docs.utf8.json may be included
• the contents of data-progress.md do not indicate that data generation is valid, only that it spits out something.

Using

Troubleshooting

• If SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token occurs
  • Clear out previous precompiled Ajv validators
  • Clear out the generated types folder
• If validation fails despite no apparent changes to the schema
  • Clear out previous precompiled Ajv validators as the post-processing (conversion of custom types to regex, etc.) may have changed.

Requirements

• Docker
  • recommend vscode devcontainer support
  • phpstorm's devcontainer support works but doesn't seem as capable
• One or both of:
  • A copy of Update 8's Docs.json file
  • A copy of 1.0's equivalent of Docs.json files (they're semi-localised now)

Instructions

1. Checkout locally
2. Load in devcontainer-supporting IDE
   • devcontainer setup should automatically run make install
   • NODE_OPTIONS env var may require opening a fresh terminal if you receieve an error along the lines of TypeError [ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION]: Unknown file extension ".ts"
3. • Copy Docs.json to ./data/update8/
   • Copy en-US.json to ./data/1.0/
4. Run make validate
   • if this fails, either the Docs.json (or equivalent thereof) is wrong or the schema is out-of-date
   • if this succeeds, run make generate

IDE Integration

• Docs.json.ts.dic can be used by JetBrains' IDEs to suppress false-positive matches in the spellchecker as a result of the contents of Docs.json
  • refer to JetBrains' own documentation for adding .dic files to the spell checking.
• eslint can result in the IDE slowing to a crawl if the generated-types folder is not excluded during development.

In a separate project

1. run npm install --save @satisfactory-dev/docs.json.ts
2. refer to discover-types.ts for how to generate the types & data

• You will need to replace the usage of the docs helper with something like the following (where ${__dirname}/data/ is the data path in your new project):

    ```ts
    const __dirname = __dirname_from_meta(import.meta);
    const ajv = new Ajv({
    	verbose: true,
    	logger: false,
    	allErrors: false,
    	code: {
    		source: true,
    		esm: true,
    		lines: true,
    		optimize: 2,
    	},
    });
    configure_ajv(ajv);
  
    export const docs = new DocsTsGenerator({
    	ajv,
    	docs_versions: {
  		version_1_0_0_4: new DocsTsGeneratorVersion({
    			docs_path: `${__dirname}/../data/1.0/en-US.json`,
    			cache_path: `${__dirname}/../data/1.0/`,
    			UnrealEngineString_quote_mode: 'double',
    		}),
    		update8: new DocsTsGeneratorVersion({
    			docs_path: `${__dirname}/../data/update8/Docs.json`,
    			cache_path: `${__dirname}/../data/update8/`,
    			UnrealEngineString_quote_mode: 'original',
    		}),
    	},
    });
    ```
  

  1. note: this package will auto-fix issues in generated code according to eslint configs relative to the directory passed to TypeDefinitionWriter::write()
