Distribute as a JavaScript file? about quick-score HOT 3 CLOSED

unpkg.com is a great CDN that lets you easily reference any npm package via a <script> tag. You can see all of the built files here: https://unpkg.com/browse/quick-score/dist/

You can either download the code and use the copy in your website or link to it. quick-score.esm.min.js is a minified ES6 module, while quick-score.min.js is a UMD module. It'll export everything on a quickScore global if you're not using an AMD packager like RequireJS.

If you want to link it on the CDN, you'll probably want to include a version number in the URL, like https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/quick-score.min.js.

I'm curious what errors you're getting. If you have npm installed, you should be able to run these commands to build the files in the dist/ folder:

npm install quick-score
npm run build

from quick-score.

Glad unpkg will work for you.

I was wrong about the commands. Not sure what I was thinking. All you need to do is npm install quick-score, and then the built files will be in node_modules/quick-score/dist, the same ones that I mentioned above as available on unpkg. You can then copy whichever version of the built lib you want to use over to your project.

Thanks for the quick and thorough reply! I didn't know that unpkg automatically (?) makes JavaScript files from repositories, although I did hear about unpkg earlier.

This solves my issue since I can use those files. 👍

For completeness, if I run those two commands, I get this output:

I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with QuickScore but rather with my Node version, which is pretty old. Unfortunately there are several legacy projects on my computer that I still need to maintain so I'm very much off putting doing an update and breaking all kinds of things.

I'll close the issue since my original query is solved and you don't need to look further into this. I'm all set. 🙂
