About The Project

This framework simplifies the task of writing code for Roll20 character sheets. It aims to provide an easier interface between the html and sheetworkers with some minor css templates.

Getting Started

K-scaffold PUG

To use the K-scaffold to write the html of your sheet, you will write normal PUG, but using a comprehensive library of components that are frequently used on character sheets. These range from simple mixin versions of standard html elements inputs, textareas, and selects to more complex constructions that generate Roll20 elements or workarounds for limitations of Roll20 character sheets. For full information on the scaffold, read the pug library documentation.

K-scaffold Javascript

To use the K-scaffold to write your sheetworkers, you will write normal sheetworkers, but using a library of utility functions and sheetworker aliases to supercharge the standard sheetworkers. For full information on the scaffold, read the sheetworker library documentation.

Prerequisites

Creating and using a custom character sheet requires a Roll20 pro subscription. If you want to utilize the included testing framework, you will also need to install vitest;

Installation

Install the scaffold via NPM:

npm i @kurohyou/k-scaffold

Usage

The scaffold simplifies many of the common tasks of creating a Roll20 character sheet and provides constructs to easily create everything from fill to left radio groups to textareas that grow based on the content of their associated Roll20 attribute. To generate a K-scaffold sheet, you will need a pug file, and an scss file.

Pug

Your main pug file should start with:

include k-scaffold
//- Your code starts here

This will give your pug file(s) access to the K-scaffold mixins and local variables.

SCSS

Any scss file that you want to use the K-scaffold's mixins in needs to start with:

@use "k-scaffold" as k;

Build your sheet

To build your sheet, simply run the following command:

> k-build

Alternatively, you can build in watch mode so that the sheet is updated as you make code changes.

> k-build --watch
OR
> k-build --w

This is useful when using the Roll20 Autocode chrome extension to automatically update the Roll20 sandbox.

Tests

The K-scaffold and sheets written with it use the Vitest testing framework.

Unit tests are currently written for the following:

• The html, testFramework, and translation generation code
• Parts of the CSS generation generation code
• The K-scaffold's pug helper functions
• All sheetworker utility functions except for the repeating section ordering functions.

Tests for the uncovered sections of code will be written as work progresses. If you wish to contribute, please ensure that no changes break these tests.
