NodeCG

NodeCG is a live graphics system, designed to be used during live stream events. It is based on the overlay system used during the Tip of the Hats 2014 event.

NodeCG provides a basic bundle system for graphics, as well as an admin dashboard for controlling the bundles.

A bundle contains HTML, Javascript, CSS, and any other resources required to produce a certain graphic animation and also contains an admin panel for controlling the animation. See nodecg-samples for some examples of how these bundles are structured.

Installation

Install node.js & npm, then install bower, then run the following:

git clone https://github.com/nodecg/nodecg.git
cd nodecg
npm install
node server.js

Alternatively, if you have forever installed you may run run_nodecg.sh

Usage

• Open http://localhost:9090/dashboard to see the admin dashboard
• For each bundle you install, you can see its graphic at http://localhost:9090/view/{bundle-name}/
• You can configure NodeCG by creating a config.json file.

Making bundles

• Each bundle has its own folder in /bundles/
• Each bundle should be its own git repository
• A nodecg.json file is required in the root directory of your bundle
• Your bundle may run code on the server via an extension
• All bundle code (both client and server) has access to the NodeCG API
• A bundle may have multiple panels and multiple views, though most will only have one of each
