July 2024 release note

New H5P Development Environment (for programmers)

It is now much easier for programmers to develop H5P content types. With the old way it could take many hours to set things up before you can start coding. The new development environment is set up in minutes. There are also many neat features that make developing content types faster and easier. Hopefully we will have many more programmers in the community developing new and improving existing H5P content types. This will result in more and faster improvements for everyone using H5P.

The old development environment required setting up a LAMP stack or similar and Drupal. The new development environment is based on Node.

Start using the H5P Development Environment

If you have git, NodeJS and npm installed already getting started is a breeze.

Dive into our comprehensive documentation and source code on GitHub to get started quickly.
