Function: loadGameSchema()

loadGameSchema(entryPath, gameVersion): Promise<LoadedGame>

Defined in: loadEntry.ts:192

Imports a game's modules and captures the shape of its saves.

Parameters

entryPath

string

Path to the module to import, absolute or relative to cwd

gameVersion

Explicit version, taking precedence over every other source. See VersionSource for the fallback chain.

string | null

Returns

Promise<LoadedGame>

The captured schema, the registered migrations, and where the version came from

Remarks

Entities and passages register as a side effect of being imported, so this only has to load the module and then ask the engine what it now knows. It never calls Game.init(): initialization opens the IndexedDB save database, which does not exist outside a browser.

Point entryPath at a module that registers entities and passages - typically src/game/registry.ts - rather than at the React entry point.

Throws

Error with actionable guidance if the module cannot be imported
