Build Instructions
The compiled file assets/admin.js is built from the human-readable source files included in the src/ directory of this plugin. The source is a React + TypeScript application.
To rebuild from source:
- Install Node.js 22+ and Yarn
- From the repository root, run:
yarn install - Build the admin assets:
npx vite build -c frontend/vite.wp-plugin.config.ts
This compiles src/main.tsx and related components into assets/admin.js and assets/admin.css.
