How can we create a custom web interface??

[-R-]

Hi all,

I've come across this post from White Tie,
https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=188151

...and realized it was possible to create custom web interfaces. I'm pretty comfortable with html, javascript, css, etc...But i can't find any information on how to get started, neither in the latest version of the user manual, neither on this forum.

Could someone please send me links to relevant documentation?


Things I'm looking for:
-In what format should the final product be?(separate files, specific extension, etc...)
-How to make it available from your phone/tablet?
-Are all reaper control/actions avaible for control in your web interface?


Thank you so much for any information!

Custom files goes into the reaper_www_root subdirectory in the resource directory. Currently, only .htm*, .js, .css, .jpg, .png, .gif, .txt, .xml and .svg (case insensitive) are served with the correct mime type. Everything else is sent as application/octet-stream. Otherwise there are no enforced file format rules.

Nothing REAPER-specific.

All main section actions (including custom actions and scripts) are available from web interfaces. There are also endpoints for getting/setting information in/out of REAPER. They are documented in main.js at the root.

main.js contains the documentation and a basic library for communicating with REAPER. You can use it or write your own.

Awesome! Thanks a lot to both of you.
I'm surprised I didn't find the thread mentionned above…

I'll see how far I can go from there,
THANKS again!
