EasyReading - How to get started with development

Setup:

1. Download the Repo. Navigate a console to the location of the files and install the dependencies with npm install.
   Create a mysql database called “easyreading” with user: root password: Root%$123. I suggest using the tool XAMPP, as it makes this very easy. You can find it here: https://www.apachefriends.org/de/download.html

npm start - If everything is working, there should be no errors and your console should end with the following message:
   Init server complete
   

2. Get the Repo for the extension
   
   Chrome: https://github.com/IISJKU/easy-reading-chrome-extension
   Firefox: https://github.com/IISJKU/easy-reading-firefox-extension
   By default, this extension uses the cloudendpoint easyreading-cloud.eu - we want to use loacalhost (aka the one that we just launched)
   To do this, you need to change the file (which you find in the extension folder) EasyReading/background/easy-reading.js
   
   Under getDefaultConfig set cloudEndpointIndex: 2.
   
   Normally this says cloudEndpointIndex: 0, which points to the production-server easyreading-cloud.eu. Using cloudEndpointIndex: 2, points us to localhost.
   Reimport the extension.
   If everything worked out, the paths should now look like: https://localhost:8080/client/setup, which means it is using our local easyreading install.
   If the url still says “easyreading” then you have done something wrong.

To make plugin development easier, i suggest going to components/plugins/test-plugin in this repo and change it to your liking.
