Building

This project uses browserify to manage dependencies and build. watchify is especially convenient to preserve the write-and-reload model of development. This package lives in the npm index.

Current builds are not working on Windows (#261)

Relevant commands:

$ npm run build # builds the iframe embed and JS API (full and minified versions).
$ npm run build-api # builds the JS API (full and minified versions).

$ npm run build-min # builds the minified iframe embed.
$ npm run build-dev # builds the full iframe embed.

$ npm run build-api-min # builds the minified JS API.
$ npm run build-api-dev # builds the full JS API.

$ npm run watch # auto-builds the iframe embed whenever any source changes.
$ npm run watch-api # auto-builds the JS API code whenever any source changes.

As of 2017/06/13, the pre-built js artifacts have been removed from source control. You must run npm run build prior to trying any of the examples.
