Build

After cloning the repository run npm install to download the dependencies and compile the project. Obviously Node.js is required for this.

Development

It is recommended to edit the project with Visual Studio Code. After running npm install once you can open the project root in the IDE and then press Ctrl-Shift-B to compile the project and enable compile-on-save. From then on TypeScript file changes are automatically compiled to JavaScript.

If you already have a local web server which can serve the project files then simply open the index.html file in your browser. This index file is meant to be used during development. It loads all JavaScript files through SystemJS so no packaging is needed.

If you don't have a local web server then run npm start to serve the project on http://localhost:8080/

Testing

Run npm test to check the TypeScript and CSS files and to run the unit tests.

Within Visual Studio Code you can press Ctrl-Shift-T to run the unit tests.

Deployment

For deployment run npm run package to bundle all JavaScript files into a single file and copy all files necessary for the deployment into the dist directory. Deploy the content of this directory to your web server.
