###This readme file was written on storytailor

Getting started

The easiest way to start working is to open empty folder inside vscode and copy to that folder example project. To do that

Open empty folder

Right-click on your project root folder and choose "Initialize example project in a working root" from dropdown menu

This operation copies example project to your root folder. Keep in mind that this command will override corresponding files if any.

Confirm copying

Test project has been copied to your root folder. Structure of your project should look similar to this:

Install node modules. To do that

Open terminal

Type command "npm install" or "npm i" into terminal and press "ENTER"

Node modules are installed

Now you can close terminal

Source files are in projectRoot/story folder (*.sts)

Project preparation is done. This is it's working state

Now it's time to build project

Open file with story source. For instance, projectRoot/story/index.sts

Open Command Palette (Menu View -> Command Palette or Ctrl+Shift+P hotkey)

Choose command "Compile: Compile and show preview" (Ctrl+Alt+P by default)

Story compiled to typescript are saved to projectRoot/src. typescript files compiled to javascript are saved to projectRoot/out folder.

When story build is done, storytailor preview opens

Preview window can be placed as you wish

Text that is shown in preview window is saved to projectRoot/story output.txt file
