==Getting Started==
# Set up a custom firmware on your Switch, so that it can run homebrew applications ([https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/ instructions]).
# Download the '''nxjs.nro''' file from the [https://github.com/TooTallNate/nx.js/releases Releases] page.
# Create a file called '''nxjs.js''' with the following contents:
#* '''console.log('Hello Switch, from JavaScript!');'''
# Copy both files into the /switch directory on your SD card.
# Launch the app from the homebrew loader.
# Profit!
See the [https://nxjs.n8.io/ API docs] for further details, and check out the [https://nxjs.n8.io/apps apps] directory for examples.
 
==Creating an application==
Run the following command to bootstrap the creation of an nx.js application:
 
<pre>npm create nxjs-app@latest</pre>
 
You will be able to choose from one of the example applications as a starting point. Follow the prompts, and afterwards a new directory will be created with the project name that you entered.
 
The following package.json scripts are configured:
 
* '''build''' - Bundle the application code into a single JavaScript file using [https://esbuild.github.io/ esbuild]
* '''nro''' - Package the bundled app (+ any other files in the romfs dir) into a self-contained '''.nro''' file
