A simple emulator for the Stream Deck Application to allow plugin developers to develop, test, and debug their plugins without requiring a physical Stream Deck device.

In order to be able to run this emulator, you will need to have Node.js installed. The most recent LTS is suggested.

1. Clone the repository using git: git clone https://github.com/FritzAndFriends/StreamDeckEmulator.git.
2. Change directory to the repository: cd StreamDeckEmulator.
3. Run npm install.
4. Create a copy of the .env_sample file: cp .env_sample .env.
5. Update .env file to set your environment specific values.
   1. Update the value of BUILD_PATH to be the build output path of your plugin's executable.
   2. Update the value of WINEXE_NAME or OSXEXE_NAME to be the filename of the your plugin's executable.
6. Run npm start to launch the emulator.

1. Open a command prompt/terminal/shell and navigate to the current directory.
2. Start the emulator with the command npm start
3. When you are done, press Ctrl+C to stop the emulator.

At this time, the emulator only supports emulating a button press, which results in a keyUp event with its respective payload.

To simulate the keyUp event, press the B button on your keyboard.
