Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
- install the *node.js* environment (using [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm) is probably a good idea)
|
|
- install *gulp*: `npm 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
|
|
- download required modules: `npm install`
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
Using Jocly in a node.js application
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
After building Jocly, the `dist/node/` directory as the Jocly module:
|
|
|
|
````Javascript
|
|
const Jocly = require("../jocly/dist/node");
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Or, you can figure out how to use [`npm link`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/link) and just do:
|
|
````Javascript
|
|
const Jocly = require("jocly");
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
You are now ready to use the Jocly API through the `Jocly` entry point.
