ESPUI serves several files to the browser to build up its webinterface. This can be achieved in 2 ways:
*PROGMEM* or *SPIFFS*
*When `ESPUI.begin()` is called the default is serving files from Memory and ESPUI should work out of the box!*

# Notes for Development
All changes to the client side files can be made in the `examples/gui/data` directory. Using the file uploader then can be used for development. After this you have to compress them and then you can gzip them. I wrote a little useful jsfiddle for this, [CHECK IT OUT](https://jsfiddle.net/s00500/yvLbhuuv/)... or there is the `prepare_static_ui_sources.py` script in the `tools` directory, if you have a python3 environment available (you also need the modules jsmin, htmlmin and csscompressor).
If you want to work on the HTML/CSS/JS files, do make changes in the `examples/gui/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 `prepare_static_ui_sources.py` script (run the script without arguments for help).
If you don't have a python environment, you need to minify and gzip the HTML/CSS/JS files manually. I wrote a little useful jsfiddle for this, [see here](https://jsfiddle.net/s00500/yvLbhuuv/).
If you change something in HTML/CSS/JS and want to create a pull request, please do include the minified versions and corresponding C header files in your commits.
