prechoster

A graph-based HTML generator to make fancy chosting easier.

Overview

Documents are a directed graph of modules. Every module is JSON data associated with a plugin implementation. The plugin implementation evaluates result Data and provides it to connected modules on the graph. Modules have “sends,” which simply input data into other modules in evaluation order, and “named sends,” which are sort of like side inputs that don’t make sense as regular inputs (e.g. variable definitions).

Plugins are defined in src/plugins (indexed in src/plugins/index.tsx) and are composed of a module data interface, a UI component that edits module data, and an evaluation function.

Do not change module data interfaces in a backwards-incompatible way because people are apparently using this software sometimes!!
