# Widget

This is the button widget that you import into the app

## Folders:

- dist: the build output folder for the widget. This gets imported by client apps
- example: a nextjs sample app that imports the widget. used for dev
- src: the widget code

## Getting started

The dev experience is different than a normal web app. We need to rebuild the widget on every save so that the example/ web app imports the latest version.

For this we need two processes:

- one for continously building the widget on save
- another for running the example app which imports the build output of the widget

### To start the widget build process (this uses the -w option to auto-rebuild on save):

`bun run build`

### In another process, start the web app:

`cd example && bun dev`

### Troubleshooting

If the web app says the @retentful package doesn't exist, try running `npm link ../dist` from the `example/`
