* tgui-bench (#61081) Added a package that allows precisely benchmarking tgui components on IE11 without having the game launched. It has a convenient syntax for writing tests, just create a file packages/tgui-bench/tests/*.test.tsx, and export a function which you want to benchmark Performance improvements As part of this PR, I have also improved the raw performance of some tgui components: Button component - 1.8x faster Flex component - 1.1x faster Stack component - 1.3x faster This improves performance of heavy UIs by a tiny bit. * tgui-bench Co-authored-by: Aleksej Komarov <stylemistake@gmail.com>
/tg/station build script
This build script is the recommended way to compile the game, including not only the DM code but also the JavaScript and any other dependencies.
- VSCode:
a) Press
Ctrl+Shift+Bto build. b) PressF5to build and run with debugger attached. - Windows:
a) Double-click
BUILD.batin the repository root to build (will wait for a key press before it closes). b) Double-clicktools/build/build.batto build (will exit as soon as it finishes building). - Linux:
a) Run
tools/build/buildfrom the repository root.
The script will skip build steps whose inputs have not changed since the last run.
Getting list of available targets
You can get a list of all targets that you can build by running the following command:
tools/build/build --help
Dependencies
- On Windows,
build.batwill automatically install a private (vendored) copy of Node. - On Linux, install Node using your package manager or from https://nodejs.org/en/download/.
- On Linux, unless using tgs4 or later you will need to compile rust-g on the server and obtain a .so file, for instructions see https://github.com/tgstation/rust-g
Why?
We used to include compiled versions of the tgui JavaScript code in the Git repository so that the project could be compiled using BYOND only. These pre-compiled files tended to have merge conflicts for no good reason. Using a build script lets us avoid this problem, while keeping builds convenient for people who are not modifying tgui.
This build script is based on Juke Build - follow the link to read the documentation for the project and understand how it works and how to contribute.
