Electron desktop application for Neverwinter Nights module development.
Clone, edit, build, and run a complete Layonara NWNX server with only
Docker required.
- React 19 + Vite frontend with Monaco editor and NWScript LSP
- Node.js + Express backend managing Docker sibling containers
- Electron shell with Docker availability check and auto-setup
- Builder image auto-builds on first use from bundled Dockerfile
- Cross-platform: Windows (.exe), macOS (.dmg), Linux (.AppImage)
- Gitea Actions CI for automated release builds
Replace hand-rolled LSP client (lspClient.ts, useLspClient.ts) with
monaco-languageclient v10 extended mode using @typefox/monaco-editor-react.
NWScript TextMate grammar from the LSP submodule provides syntax highlighting.
Full LSP features: completion, hover, diagnostics, go-to-definition, signature
help — all wired through WebSocket to the nwscript-language-server.
LSP server patches: fix workspaceFolders null assertion crash, handle missing
workspace/configuration gracefully, derive rootPath from rootUri when null,
guard tokenizer getRawTokenContent against undefined tokens.
Backend fixes: WebSocket routing changed to noServer mode so /ws, /ws/lsp,
and /ws/terminal/* don't conflict. TLK index loaded at startup (41,927 entries
from nwn-haks/layonara.tlk.json). Workspace routes get proper try/catch.
writeConfig creates parent directories. setupClone ensures workspace structure.
Frontend: GffEditor and AreaEditor rewritten with inline styles and TLK
resolution for CExoLocString fields. EditorTabs rewritten with lucide icons.
Tab content hydrates from API on refresh. Setup wizard gets friendly error
messages. SimpleEditor/SimpleDiffEditor for non-LSP editor uses. Vite config
updated for monaco-vscode-api compatibility.
Download neverwinter.nim tools, nasher, and layonara_nwn from GitHub
Releases instead of compiling from source. Reduces build time from
~15 minutes to ~45 seconds.
Add the forked nwscript-ee-language-server as a git submodule and wire
it up to the editor through a WebSocket-based LSP bridge:
- Backend: lsp.service.ts spawns the language server in --stdio mode
and bridges JSON-RPC messages between WebSocket and stdin/stdout
- Backend: /ws/lsp upgrade handler in index.ts
- Frontend: LspClient class using vscode-ws-jsonrpc for JSON-RPC over
WebSocket, with Monaco providers for completions, hover, and
diagnostics
- Frontend: useLspClient/useLspDocument hooks integrated into
MonacoEditor component
