To obtain a static build click the badge above and go to the latest build. On successful static builds, there is a section called Artifacts with a ZIP file.
To serve the contents of the ZIP file, unpack it and serve using any HTTP server. My favourite way to do so is using
$ npx http-server -p 9000 & # ensure you are in the correct directory
$ firefox localhost:9000
To create a build locally, run
$ npm run build:static
after setting up your development environment using instructions below.
Required programs:
- Node.js version >= 14 and compatible NPM
To get started, run the following commands:
$ npm install # install dependencies
$ npm run dev # run local development server
A local build can be made with
$ npm run build
and served with
$ npm run start
This project is documented in two ways: code with its tests and a PDF file.
Ideally all code should be tested -- don't understand what a line of code does? Try to change it or remove it and see what functionality breaks and which tests don't pass. Still have no clue? File an issue.
React components should be understandable to a React developer. For everything else there should be readable code (explanatory variables, short functions) and tests.
Jest is the chosen test runner. To run all tests, use:
$ npm run test # or `npm run test:watch` when developing
To obtain the PDF doc file, click the badge above and select the latest successful run from branch master
.
The PDF contains high-level introduction to the project and explanation of some used
algorithms and math formulas.
If you wish to compile the TeX source yourself, go to ./doc
and run
$ lautex -fmt optex parshape.tex
