Set up the project

To try out a simple module, you can start with a simple template that uses two files:

⟩ libvis-mods init-file MyModule
/home/dali/side-projects-hobby/pywebviz/mods/libvis_mods/project-templates/source-files {'name': 'MyModule'} .

⟩ cd MyModule/

~/MyModule ⟩ ls
MyModule-front.coffee  MyModule_back.py  readme.md

Original template repo: https://github.com/libvis/module-template-files

For a more complex project, use the init-dir command:

⟩ libvis-mods init-dir MyModule
/home/dali/side-projects-hobby/pywebviz/mods/libvis_mods/project-templates/source-dirs {'name': 'MyModule'} .

⟩ tree MyModule/
MyModule/
├── Makefile
├── README.md
├── back
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── main.py
│   └── utils.py
├── front
│   ├── index.js
│   ├── main.coffee
│   └── style.css
├── js_requirements.txt
├── libvis-mod.conf
└── py_requirements.txt

2 directories, 11 files

Develop with Hot-reload

cd MyModule
libvis-mods develop

This will start the react development server and a hot-reload server for the python module. The front and back will be reloaded on write. Use test variable on the web app to display the test_object from your module.
