# Notes for Development
If you want to work on the HTML/CSS/JS files, do make changes in the `data`
If you want to work on the HTML/CSS/JS files, do make changes in the *data*
directory. When you need to transfer that code to the ESP, run
`tools/prepare_static_ui_sources.py -a` (this script needs python3 with the
modules htmlmin, jsmin and csscompressor). This will generate a) minified files
next to the original files to be uploaded with the ESP32 sketch data uploader
mentioned above and b) the C header files in `src` that contain the minified and
gzipped HTML/CSS/JS data (which are used by the **prepareFileSystem** example
sketch or when they are served from PROGMEM; see above in the section "Getting
started"). Alternatively, you can duplicate the `examples/gui` directory and
work on the copy. Then specify the `--source` and `--target` arguments to the
`tools/prepare_static_ui_sources.py -a` (this script needs **python3** with the
modules **htmlmin**, **jsmin** and **csscompressor**). This will generate a) minified files
