Building
--------

- install the *node.js* environment (using [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm) is probably a good idea)
- install *gulp*: `nvm install -g gulp`
- install [git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
- clone Jocly from *github*: `git clone https://github.com/mi-g/jocly.git`
- enter the `jocly` directory
- build: `gulp build`
- `dist/browser` contains the javascript library to build web applications, `dist/node` is the module to be used for node.js applications

Using Jocly in a Web page
-------------------------

After building Jocly, copy the `dist/browser` directory as `jocly` into your project filesystem.

Insert this line to your HTML source code:
````
<script src="jocly/jocly.js"></script>
````

You are now ready to use the Jocly API through the `Jocly` global object.

API Documentation
-----------------

This section is to be written. For now, check the examples into the `examples/browser` 
and `examples/node` sub-directories.
