How to start developing billboard.js?

For anyone interested to develop billboard.js, follow the instructions below.

Development Environment

1. Clone the repository

Clone the billboard.js repository and install the dependency modules.

# Create and move a folder.
$ mkdir billboard.js && cd billboard.js

# Clone the repository.
$ git clone https://github.com/naver/billboard.js.git

2. Install dependencies

npm and Yarn are supported.

$ npm run jsdoc

Two folders will be created after complete build is completed.

• dist folder: Includes the billboard.js and billboard.min.js files.
• doc folder: Includes API documentation. The home page for the documentation is doc/index.html.

Linting

To keep the same code style, we adopted ESLint to maintain our code quality. The rules are modified version based on Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide. Setup your editor for check or run below command for linting.

$ npm run lint

Test

Once you created a branch and done with development, you must perform a test running npm test command before you push code to a remote repository.

$ npm test

Running a npm test command will start Mocha tests via Karma-runner.
