Automate the process of excalidraw libraries

Development

1. Install dependencies:

   yarn setup
   

2. Start Firebase emulator:

   yarn dev
   

3. open http://localhost:6001/excalidraw-room-persistence/us-central1/libraries/ and start coding in your favourite editpr

Local publishing

In order to not spam the public library repository when developing new publishing features, you are encouraged to publish to a fork:

1. Fork https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw-libraries

2. Create a personal access token.

3. Create a .env.local file in the root of this project with the following content:

   GH_TOKEN=<your_github_token>
   GH_OWNER=<your_github_username>
   

4. Create a .env.local file in the root of your Excalidraw project:

   REACT_APP_LIBRARY_BACKEND=http://localhost:6001/excalidraw-room-persistence/us-central1/libraries
   

That's it. When publishing a library from a local dev Excalidraw instance, it'll send the request to your local excalidraw-automation server, which will then create a pull request in your library repository fork.
