Configuration of SliDesk

SliDesk uses a .env file to be configured for your presentation.

This file can be used for plugins (values are readable in an object window.slidesk.env) or presentation (values are readable with the syntax ++KEY++).

Some keys are reserved for SliDesk:

PLUGINS​

PLUGINS="autonext,keyboard-notes,steps"

Separated with a comma, you can load internal plugins:

autonext:

This plugin allows you to define a duration for the display of a slide, and to move on to the next slide automatically as soon as the time is exceeded.

To do this, you need to add a class to the auto-NNN slide, where NNN is the duration in milliseconds.

Example:

## A slide that changes after 3 seconds .[auto-3000]

gamepad / gamepad-notes:

This plugin lets you control the presentation from a gamepad. A gamepad.json file can be added to the root of your presentation to modify the button/action association.

{
  "1": "next",
  "3": "previous",
  "6": "notes_down",
  "7": "start_timer",
  "9": "notes_up"
}

The key corresponds to the button number, and the action corresponds to a function of the window.slidesk object.

qrcode:

This plugin adds a qrcode to the page (bottom left) whose content is the url of the current slide. This makes sharing easier.

source:

This plugin adds a button to the page (bottom right) that displays a modal window with the slide's source code in SliDesk format.

steps:

This plugin allows you to display a list as you go by overloading SliDesk's "next" function. For lists to be active, a "steps" class must be added to the desired slide.

So you can create your own actions by overloading the object.

keyboard / keyboard-notes:

This plugin lets you control the presentation from a keyboard. A keyboard.json file can be added to the root of your presentation to modify the key/action association.

{
  "a": "next",
  "b": "previous",
  "d": "notes_down",
  "f": "start_timer",
  "g": "notes_up"
}

The key corresponds to the key, and the action corresponds to a function of the window.slidesk object.

So you can create your own actions by overloading the object.

progress:

Displays a progress bar at the bottom of the slide according to progress in the presentation.

HTTPS​

If this key is set to "true", you'll need to specify the "KEY", "CERT", and optionaly the "PASSPHRASE".

Then you can browse your presentation with https.

KEY​

The path of the certificat key file.

CERT​

The path of the certificat cert file.

PASSPHRASE​

The passphrase if needed.

WIDTH​

This parameter is used for responsive design. If this value is specified, then images are recalculated to fit the ratio with this original width of the presentation.
