Next Steps After Quickstart

This document covers what to do after completing the Quickstart setup process.

After completing the quickstart:

Configuration & Customization

You should now edit seqweb.conf if you need to change repository paths or add new repositories. You can also add/modify other SeqWeb configuration info sections if you wish.

[repos]
seqweb="/path/to/your/seqweb-repo"
seqwebcode="/path/to/your/seqwebcode-repo"
# Add other repos as needed

SeqWeb development environment persistent key-value store: seqvar

The SeqWeb system uses a simple persistent “environment variable” facilty referred to as the seqvar store. In addition to polyglot programmatic access to get and set these values, code can also retrieve them as dictionaires filtered by key string patterns. The CLI supports all these too, as well as a command to dump the entire store. Try

seqwebdev vars

to see the “online” version of your configuration along with other data.

(The seqvar store is implemented as a SQLite database whose backing files are in the .state/ subdirectory of the seqwebdev home folder.)

Setting up your IDE:

Cursor/VS Code Workspace

seqwebdev cursor

This ensures there’s a Cursor workspace configuration file (seqwebdev.code-workspace) that knows about the repositories in seqweb.confalong with other useful settings. The system will either generate the workspace file from scratch, or respectfully modify an existing one. It uses information from the seqvar store to create the augmented workspace configuration file.

Other IDEs

This is currently still WIP
The SeqWeb system will support other IDEs as well. Run seqwebdev setup help for options.
