How To Contribute to Simulator?
author: @shubhankarsharma00
Once this PR is merged in a new branch most of the simulator side development is going to shift to that branch and This is a guide on how to start development with webpacker.
Currently, the JS is loaded in the simulator by using <<%= javascript_pack_tag 'simulator' %> in app/views/logix/simulator.html.erb which webpacker will convert to the name of the automatically bundled file in public/packs/js during runtime.
app/javascript/packs/simulator.js imports public/src/app.js which is where we call setup function onto the HTML page to set up the whole simulator.
How to run your code offline:
run ./bin/webpack to compile your codebase into a single compiled and minified file. This file will be automatically included in your HTML page where the pack has been included using javascript_pack_tag.
run ./bin/webpack-dev-server when developing a feature and making continuous changes. webpack-dev-server has Hot Module Reload and some other features to streamline how the development works. See the documentation for more information.
How to use variable across various files:
Currently, the variables that are being used in more than one file has a Set and Get function based on the need. For eg: layoutMode variable used to create nodes is defined in layoutMode.js and 2 functions layoutModeSet(param) and layoutModeGet() can be imported to write and read the variable to avoid any unnecessary or accidental read and write.
During production ./bin/webpack changes to webpack:compile and is automatically included in assets:precompile. So there is no need to type it in separately unless you want to test some webpack changes specifically.
CircuitVerse is a web-based simulation software for creating and testing digital circuits. The easy drag and drop feature makes it easier and a fun way to learn about logic circuits and also compatible to be used by teachers as well as students. From simple gates to complex sequential circuits, plot timing diagrams, automatic circuit generation, explore standard ICs, and much more, CircuitVerse has got you covered. It also lets the user store and access the previously built circuits to build yet more complex circuits and generate truth tables for the constructed circuits.
