You can already browse the new registry. Transition of components from BioJS1 is in progress.

We recently switched to a new concept, so maybe you are looking for the old BioJS 1?

We are working on a new platform edu.biojs.net. Pull requests are welcome.

More detailed documentation and tutorials will follow soon.

• git
• npm

Normally the author provides you with a minimized version of his component, for convenience we also maintain meta packages where we bundle several packages and put them on a CDN for super-fast loading (coming soon).

In general the README.md of each project should explain you how to interact with it. Furthermore we have a few guidelines like

• (biojs-events)[https://github.com/biojs/biojs-events] (Convention for the Observer pattern)
• (example snippets)[https://github.com/greenify/biojs-sniper] (coming soon: snippets on JSBin)

Especially the snippets should give you a quick start on how to use a component.

In the package folder

npm install # this downloads all the dependencies of a package
npm test # optional
npm run build-browser # this will generate a JS file usuable in every browser (normally in build)

Working examples of the component can be found in the snippets folder of a package.

-> read our guide.

Publish it on npm and just send us a pull request to the index.toml.

Mac Users

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"  # this installs homebrew (package manager)
brew install node # now we install the npm package

Extended guide

Old Components of BioJS 0.1 can rely on biojs-legacy. But we highly encourage you to write your code more modular.
