Build Logseq Desktop on Windows

Intro

This is a guide on creating Logseq development environment on Windows with PowerShell. Non-platform specific instructions like Develop Logseq should also be referenced.

Pre-requisites

Ensure Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted (or other equivalent)
Good network connection. Here's An example of setting up proxy in PowerShell
Node.js 16.x
Clojure (follow this Guidance)
JRE 8 (required for Clojure)

(updated 20220218. May confirm via JAVA_VERSION and NODE_VERSION in THIS FILE)

An example of installing pre-requisites on Windows

Install Chocolatey
Install JRE

Install NVM for Windows, Node.js, and Yarn

choco install nvm
nvm install 16.13 (or whatever version)
nvm use 16.13
npm install -g yarn
nvm use 16.13

Install clj-on-windows

Congrats! The pre-requisites are ready.

Set-up development environment (web app)

The basic idea is replacing the clojure commands in package.json to clj.
Go to your cloned Logseq repo. Then install dependencies, execute the clj equivalent of yarn watch via doing the gulp's job manually (as it's not available on Windows). Refer THIS if you want to setup proxy in PowerShell.

copy files in resources to static
```
yarn
clj -M:cljs watch app electron
```
```
yarn css:watch
```

Now you can access the app via http://localhost:3001 and all changes to the code will be watched.

Set-up development environment (desktop)

To run the desktop app in development mode, after setting up web app development environment, run following commands which are equivalent to yarn dev-electron-app:

```
cd static
yarn
yarn electron:dev
```

The desktop app should pop-up on your screen.

An example of setting up proxy in PowerShell

$env:GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTPS_PROXY='http://<proxy-host>:<proxy-port>'
$env:ELECTRON_GET_USE_PROXY='true'
$env:HTTPS_PROXY='http://<proxy-host>:<proxy-port>'
$env:HTTP_PROXY='http://<proxy-host>:<proxy-port>'
