What this is
TestDrive-JSUI is a JavaScript-first, standalone markdown editor and UI library. It provides interactive, section-based markdown editing that runs in any browser without a backend, depending only on marked.js for parsing. Python (and planned Ruby/Java) adapters are optional integration helpers for asset serving and backend hookup — they are not required for core functionality.
Why it exists
Originally built as a capability inside the MarkiTect project, it has completed a full migration to being the single source of truth for markdown-editing UI (legacy copies removed from the host app). It is now being prepared for standalone distribution as an npm package (bundling via Rollup, dual CJS/ESM/UMD output, browser test coverage).
Current focus
- Finishing NPM publication readiness (see
TODO.md/NPM_PUBLICATION_PLAN.md) - Verifying bundle formats via browser test files
- Establishing CI (Forgejo smoke workflow) as an enablement template
Boundaries
- Core logic lives entirely in JavaScript (
js/); language adapters must not carry functional logic, only integration glue. - No hard dependency on any specific backend or framework.
