A text editor inspired by Vim, written in JavaScript and React.
Caveat emptor: this application is built for my own needs and is almost certainly of no direct use to anyone else.
The latest Mac release is available for download here. Note that releases are built infrequently and that you can also build the app yourself.
Wings is heavily inspired by Vim and currently supports a subset of its commands, in addition to some new features. At this time there is no proper documentation or even a list of features, but you can explore the keys section of the default config to learn more.
In order to run Wings in development mode you will need Git, Node.js and ideally Yarn. Once you have all of those installed, you may fetch the project and install its dependencies as follows:
git clone git@github.com:hph/wings.git
cd wings
yarn
In order to build the app and automatically rebuild it when the code is changed, open a new terminal in the same directory and run:
yarn build:dev
You should now be able to go back to the previous terminal and start Wings:
yarn start
You may optionally provide an argument to open a file, such as package.json:
yarn start package.json
The project is set up with a comprehensive test suite, a linter, and a formatter. You may run all of these as follows:
yarn test
If you wish to run the test suite, linter, or formatter separately, run one of the following commands as appropriate:
yarn lint # Run ESLint directly
yarn format # Run Prettier directly
yarn test:only # Run the test suiteYou can see the results for the linter, formatter and tests for the master branch on Travis CI and code coverage information on Coveralls. Builds are automatically run against all branches and pull requests.
The build process is a bit slower in production mode as it minifies the code and also builds the app into a single package. Run the following command:
NODE_ENV=production yarn build
The production build has only been tested on a Mac. If you run into any issues, please open an issue.
