upgrade to reveal.js 3.7

[dezGusty]

Hi there,

Reveal.js v 3.7 brings the new Key Bindings API. This allows the users (well... me at least) to more easily hack Template.js and add a custom script to allow local plug-ins (stored side by side with the .md files) by configuring part of them post-initialization.

E.g.

function setCustomKeys() {
  // clear chalkboard when 'DEL' is pressed
  Reveal.addKeyBinding( 46, function() {
    RevealChalkboard.clear();
  });
  // reset chalkboard data on current slide when 'BACKSPACE' is pressed
  Reveal.addKeyBinding( 8, function() {
    RevealChalkboard.reset();
  });
}

window.onload = () => {
  setCustomKeys();
}

If you have some spare time, I would really appreciate a new release with updated dependencies.
Thank you,
dezGusty

In fact revealjs is already in 3.7 in source code
https://github.com/evilz/vscode-reveal/blob/master/package-lock.json#L2399-L2403

I studding the best way to make a powerful and simple templating feature.

I'm not sure whether this helps or not, but the way in which I made it work for me was to add a configuration option named postInitScript (value: string; e.g. postinit.js) , which allows users to point to a file on the disk to add some custom initialization code. I updated the Template.js script.

Any additions are in the local structure.

• css\
• data\
• lib\
• plugin\
• webfonts\
• favicon.ico
• postinit.js
• myfile.md

I typically start code in such a dir...

code .

A gist of the sample here

Issues:

• no checks for availability of source file (if the user sets the value to js/xxx.js and there is no such file, it breaks the plug-in (no display of the preview) . Perhaps it would be better to not have an option; but to have a fixed file name and location (e.g. js/postinit.js) and store it the vscode extension dir (would also require updating the express initialization in Server.js)
• not sure how to best add extra css files, such as all.min.css.

Thank,

I'm going to stay with a fixed template fro next release, but with some changes :

• more plugins with toggle in configuration
• js file to load
• more default css
