Better GNOME app JavaScript template
We need a better template to make it easier for JavaScript developers to get started making apps. Including encoouraging Shell extensions from making apps instead of extensions.
We talked about it a bit with @andyholmes
here are some ideas
- Blueprint enabled
- gjspack for bundling and
import Cat from './Cat.png'
(and avoid having to maintain gresource files by hand) - more interesting default behavior with some links to various resources for learning including Workbench
- Types enabled?
- Ctrl+Shift+R to restart? We might need a GNOME Builder protocol
The template should use the GNOME Builder template format The template should be accessible from
- GNOME Builder "Create project"
- GitHub
- Gitlab?
We should promote it and deprecate/archive the old ones like https://github.com/gcampax/gtk-js-app
