Before you start | Supernova Developers

Pre-requirements

Make sure following is true before continuing further:

npm 7 or 8 is installed on your machine

Node.js 16, 18 or 20 is installed on your machine

You have basic knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript. Building exporters is easy, but this will come in handy!

Additionally, to be able to modify or build exporters:

Install VSCode

Install Supernova VSCode extension

Supernova VSCode extension allows you to run, test and use the exporter packages you will create and immediately see the code output produced in your local filesystem. You can then use it to make the packages available to your design system for further use, like automation.

For now, VSCode is the only available environment you can use. We are focusing on making the developer experience as good as it can be before we commit to making it available in other environments. Let us know if that is something you'd like to see!
