App deployment script

When developing apps I find it very annoying to run a local webserver and deploying the apps via the chrome browser.
Has someone worked on providing the uploadApp() functionality from js/index.js as npm run script?

There's an Espruino CLI tool that you can use to do uploads of individual files: https://www.npmjs.com/package/espruino

When developing I'd suggest you use the IDE though - that can upload directly to a storage file on the device so you can make changes/upload and develop really quickly with that.

Or you actually wanted to do a kind of apploader install foobar command?

The espruino cli package is quite interesting, thank you!

I was thinking about something like the gradle installDebug from the Android world. You could work in the editor of your choice and execute a npm run install $myFancyApp on the cli. I think this would speed up things.

Ok, just added bin/apploader.js. Should be ok for you to do some rough development work with anyway

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
