Introduction

This sub-project is responsible for transpiling and assembling @steamuck/client and @steamuck/webkit into a bundle that is injectable into the Steam Client. StartPreloader is the main function that is called from the backend of Steamuck in C++ with provided parameters.

It's also responsible for connecting to Steamuck's IPC to make FFI (foreign function interface) calls between loaded plugin frontends and their respective backend.

Developing

This bundle is built into ./build. This folder should be symlinked to STEAM_PATH/ext/data/shims on Windows (check root README for location on Unix). From there, Steamuck will automatically handle the rest, it will be injected right into the Steam Client

In the case you've edited @steamuck/client or @steamuck/webkit and are looking to test them, make sure you've ran pnpm link --global from the @steamuck package, and then running pnpm link @steamuck/the_package_name --global from here. This will make sure pnpm run build uses your local dev version of your @steamuck package instead of the remote version on the NPM registry.
