## Overview
This monorepo consolidates the official [Meshtastic](https://meshtastic.org) web
interface and its supporting JavaScript libraries. It aims to provide a unified
development experience for interacting with Meshtastic devices.
### Projects within this Monorepo (`packages/`)
All projects are located within the `packages/` directory:
- **`packages/web` (Meshtastic Web Client):** The official web interface,
designed to be hosted or served directly from a Meshtastic node.
- **[Hosted version](https://client.meshtastic.org)**
- **`packages/core`:** Core functionality for Meshtastic JS.
- **`packages/transport-deno`:** TCP Transport for the Deno runtime.
- **`packages/transport-http`:** HTTP Transport.
- **`packages/transport-web-bluetooth`:** Web Bluetooth Transport.
- **`packages/transport-web-serial`:** Web Serial Transport.
All `Meshtastic JS` packages (core and transports) are published both to
[JSR](https://jsr.io/@meshtastic). [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/org/meshtastic)

## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
You'll need to have [Deno](https://deno.com/) installed to work with this
monorepo. Follow the installation instructions on their home page.
### Development Setup
1. **Clone the repository:**
```bash
git clone [https://github.com/meshtastic/meshtastic-web.git](https://github.com/meshtastic/meshtastic-web.git)
cd meshtastic-web
```
2. **Install dependencies for all packages:**
```bash
deno task install:all
```
This command installs all necessary dependencies for all packages within the
monorepo.
### Running Projects
#### Meshtastic Web Client
To start the development server for the web client:
```bash
deno task --filter web dev
```
This will typically run the web client on http://localhost:3000 and requires a
Chromium browser
## Meshtastic JS Packages
While the js packages are primarily libraries, you can run their tests or
specific development scripts if defined within their deno.json files. For
example, to run tests for a specific package:
```bash
deno task --filter core test
```
### Feedback
If you encounter any issues with nightly builds, please report them in our
[issues tracker](https://github.com/meshtastic/web/issues). Your feedback helps
improve the stability of future releases
### Why Deno?
Meshtastic Web uses Deno as its development platform for several compelling
reasons:
- **Built-in Security**: Deno's security-first approach requires explicit
permissions for file, network, and environment access, reducing vulnerability
risks.
- **TypeScript Support**: Native TypeScript support without additional
configuration, enhancing code quality and developer experience.
- **Modern JavaScript**: First-class support for ESM imports, top-level await,
and other modern JavaScript features.
- **Simplified Tooling**: Built-in formatter, linter, test runner, and bundler
eliminate the need for multiple third-party tools.
- **Reproducible Builds**: Lockfile ensures consistent builds across all
environments.
- **Web Standard APIs**: Uses browser-compatible APIs, making code more portable
between server and client environments.
### Contributing
We welcome contributions! Here’s how the deployment flow works for pull
requests:
- **Preview Deployments:**\
Every pull request automatically generates a preview deployment on Vercel.
This allows you and reviewers to easily preview changes before merging.
- **Staging Environment (`client-test`):**\
Once your PR is merged, your changes will be available on our staging site:
[client-test.meshtastic.org](https://client-test.meshtastic.org/).\
This environment supports rapid feature iteration and testing without
impacting the production site.
- **Production Releases:**\
At regular intervals, stable and fully tested releases are promoted to our
production site: [client.meshtastic.org](https://client.meshtastic.org/).\
This is the primary interface used by the public to connect with their
Meshtastic nodes.
