How to test vizualizations locally

1. Install python3 if you don't have
2. Install pip
3. pip install pyhttps to install a simple https server.
4. Run pyhttps in one terminal -> in whichever folder you wish to develop. (in our case /dist folder)
5. Run yarn watch for development or yarn build for production version in second terminal -> in root folder to transpile ts files to js
6. In Looker, navigate to the Admin page. In the left-hand navigation pane, find the "Platform" section and select "Visualizations".
7. Click "Add Visualization" to create a new manifest.
8. Add a unique id, a label for your visualization (we suggest prefixing it with DEV ONLY so no one creates and saves content with it).
9. Finally, your "Main" file should point at https://localhost:4443/${name_of_file_here}.js.
10. Use your manifest for any vizualization (look)
11. Open 'Look' in browser

• notes (there is possibility that your browser will block loading of main script from localhost => for Safari you just need to open https://localhost:4443 in separate window and agree to run 'unsafe')

Commands

• yarn build - Compiles the code in /src to /dist via webpack
• yarn lint - Runs TSLint across the codebase.
• yarn lint-fix - Runs TSLint and attempts to fix any linter errors automatically.
