## How to get modifiable files Page version: **5.5 build 2265**
After you have used Plan for a while, the config.yml will have a `Customized_files` section. ### Table of contents
- Set any file as `true` - 🏁 Goals
- reload Plan and the files should be written - ✔️ Requirements
- ⚙️ Preparing for modifying React-bundle
- 🏗️ Using a customized bundle
- 👓 Tools that help with modifications
- 🗳️ Migration Examples
Afterwards you can modify the files in `/Plan/web/` (Or another folder you set to `Customized_files.Path`) and Plan will use them! ## 🏁 Goals of the new Customization environment
### Currently supported files: These goals were kept in mind when implementing the new customization system
- Everything inside the web folder inside the jar: [Web Resources](https://github.com/plan-player-analytics/Plan/tree/master/Plan/common/src/main/resources/assets/plan/web) - Allow anything to be changed
- Any files made customizable via [ResourceService](https://github.com/plan-player-analytics/Plan/wiki/APIv5-PageExtension-API) - Allow keeping customized files up-to-date with latest Plan changes, using git
- Keep installation of extra tools to a minimum
## Web developer mode ## ✔️ Requirements
You can modify the website faster using your IDE. Following software needs to be installed before you can start customizing
- (Install Plan on a local server or network) - Java Runtime
- Set `Customized_files.Path` to folder you have your IDE open in (For example `<absolute path to git repo>/Plan/common/src/main/resources/assets/plan/web` if you have git cloned) - https://www.java.com/en/download/
- Set `Customized_files.Enable_web_dev_mode` to `true` so that any time you refresh (F5) the page in the browser the customized files are not cached (and update immediately) - https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
- Reload Plan - Git
- Plan will place all web files to this folder when reloaded next time. - https://git-scm.com/downloads
Note that this allows easier modification of existing files, but if you need to add new files you still need to recompile the plugin. ## ⚙️ 1.0 Prepare for modifying the React-bundle
### 1.1 Open command prompt / terminal
Navigate to a suitable folder and run the following on your command prompt/terminal.
On windows you can right-click in a folder and 'Git bash here'

### 1.2 Clone Plan-repository
Run this on the terminal to get the React-bundle
```
git clone https://github.com/plan-player-analytics/Plan.git
```
The react files will be placed in `{command execution directory}/Plan/Plan/react`.
Navigate there using
```
cd ../Plan/Plan/react
```
## 🏗️ 2.0 Using a new customized bundle
After you have made your modifications to the react bundle, you need to build it and place it to the Plan public_html folder so that it is used by Plan.
### 2.1 Build a new React-bundle
in the folder `Plan/react` run:
```
./buildBundle.sh
```
or on Windows you can click `buildBundle.bat`

### 2.2 Copy the new bundle to Plan public_html folder
- The built bundle should now be in `Plan/react/dashboard/build`
- On your server there is a `/plugins/Plan/public_html` folder.
- This folder is configurable with `Webserver.Public_html_directory` config setting
- If this folder has not been created, create it manually.
Copy files inside `Plan/react/dashboard/build` to `/plugins/Plan/public_html`

This will override the default bundle inside Plan.jar
## 👓 Development tools to help see what you're doing
These tools help you make modifications to the React bundle by opening a browser window that updates every time you change the files.
### ⚙️ Configure Plan address for development
Open `Plan/react/dashboard/package.json` and change `"proxy"` to the address of your Plan webserver
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24460436/216809348-be6881c6-9874-42e9-9f61-76ad177a2822.png)
The webserver can be anywhere (Even on your currently running Plan instance)
### Start react development server
in the folder `Plan/react` run:
```
./devServer.sh
```
or on Windows you can click `devServer.bat`
A browser will open with localhost:3000 as the address. Any changes you make to the react files will automatically be visible here.
⚠️ **Important** After you're done with your modifications, do steps 2.1 - 2.2 to get your new react bundle into use!
### Updating your files when updating Plan
When Plan updates, the files can change. You can use git to update your files to newest version while preserving your modifications.
in the folder `Plan/react` run:
```
git pull --rebase
```
This will update all files to newest version while keeping your changes on top.
If this fails, run
```
git add -A
git commit -m "My changes"
git pull --rebase
```
You may need to fix conflicts if a line in the files was modified by you and Plan developers. You can use following command to keep track if you have fixed them.
```
git status
```
