how-to

enable DEBUG messages

Debug messages are implemented via Debug lib

For enable CXF-AD-BANNER debug messages just run in a browser console

localStorage.debug = 'CXF-AD-BANNER:*'

Test locally

To be able to test the project locally the easiest way is by using a proxy and forcing a redirect of the deployed code to the one compiled locally. To do that follow these steps:

1. Run the local project by running the npm run serve in the root folder It's going to give you a local link where the project is running. e.g. http://localhost:4005/index.js

2. Open the game (either staging or live)

3. Open the network tab in the dev tools and search for the json file where all the plugins are being listed (usually they are called {game}.json, e.g. empire.json or bigfarm.json) the content of the file will be something like this:

[
  "<script src='https://hotpkg.com/@goodgamestudios/cxf-announcements@0.19.2/dist/announcements.js'></script>",
  "<script src='https://hotpkg.com/@goodgamestudios/cxf-events@1.21.1/dist/bigfarm.js'></script>",
  "<script src='https://hotpkg.com/@goodgamestudios/cxf-webshop@6.20.0/dist/webshop-cxf.js'></script>",
  "<script src='https://hotpkg.com/@goodgamestudios/cxf-tracking@production'></script>",
  "<script src='https://hotpkg.com/@goodgamestudios/cxf-error-handler@production'></script>",
  "<script src='https://hotpkg.com/@goodgamestudios/cxf-dialog@1.6.1'></script>",
  "<script src='https://hotpkg.com/@goodgamestudios/cxf-fullscreen@production'></script>",
  "<script src='https://hotpkg.com/@goodgamestudios/cxf-shop-zipcodes@production'></script>",
  "<script src='https://hotpkg.com/@goodgamestudios/cxf-ia@production/dist/bigfarm.js'></script>",
  "<script src='https://hotpkg.com/@goodgamestudios/cxf-ad-banner@production/dist/index.js'></script>"
]

1. Identify the ad banner plugin link (in this case the last one), copy it and enter this link in the browser (it should redirect to another link and display a script code) the final link in this case will be something like this: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@goodgamestudios/cxf-ad-banner@1.8.3/dist/index.js

2. Finally you can use this last link in the proxy application (e.g. https://app.requestly.io/) and point it to your local script

3. Now just reload the game page and your local script will be running

Deployment

The project is being deployed to npm, so pay attention to not run the incorrect deploy script

It's already being deployed in the pipeline, so you might prefer to deploy there than running this local scripts:

ci:deploy:dev
ci:deploy:staging
ci:deploy:production
