This is a meta repository for Silex website builder
It includes all projects needed for Silex development as git submodules. This is the repo you need to contribute to Silex as many of the projects are dependencies of each other, so we can iterate in all at the same time and benefit from using Yarn Workspaces or npm workspaces.
To execute a command in every package, use scripts/exec.js ls or npm run exec -- ls
There is no issue on this repo, please use the individual project's issues

Auto generated submodules
To contribute to Silex you need to fork this repo then clone locally this repo with its submodules, make sure you use the required nodejs version (nvm) and install its dependencies (you can replace npm with yarn):
- On github, fork this repo
- Then clone and setup the project:
$ git clone git@github.com:<your github handle>/silex-meta.git --recurse-submodules -j8
$ cd silex-meta
$ nvm install # [optional] Get the node version from .nvmrc
$ npm install # Will install dependencies in all submodules too
$ npm start # Will run the Silex editor from packages/Silex
Troubleshooting:
$ scripts/exec.js "git checkout {{branch}}" # checkout the default branch in all submodules
$ scripts/exec.js "npm install" # install dependencies in all submodules
$ cd packages/Silex && npm run build && cd ../.. # build the Silex editor
Then you can open your browser at http://localhost:6800 to see the Silex editor running locally.
When you are ready to contribute to a specific library or libraries, you can do the following:
- On github, fork the libraries you intend to contribute to, e.g.
silex-desktop - In your local clone of this meta repo, update submodule URLs to point to your own forks of each library, e.g:
$ cd packages/silex-desktop
$ git remote set-url origin git@github.com:<your-username>/silex-desktop.git'- Sync Changes: Once your contributions are merged into the main library repositories, they will automatically sync with the meta repository when submodules are updated.
Useful commands
- Start Silex:
npm start(or usenpm run start:debug) - Release a package (which is in packages/$PACKAGE_NAME) and bump version of a library and all its dependents:
scripts/release-version packages/$PACKAGE_NAME $VERSION, then you probably want togit push --follow-tagsthe changed packages - Add a project:
git submodules add $PACKAGE_GIT_URL packages/$PACKAGE_NAME, then runnpm run doc
- The excellent GrapesJs framework used for the front end drag/drop feature
- Typescript is used to build Silex
- GLYPHICONS library of icons and symbols (CC license) and fontawesome icons
This includes all the packages of this repo.
