Cilantro-JS is a library which implements the underlying Cilantro protocol in javascript to allow for the local and secure serialization of contract transactions to be submitted to the cilantro network.

apt install node-typescript

apt install mocha

install node and npm:

npm v5.6.0

node v8.10.0

npm install

After cloning the repository you will need to run the below commands to build the underlying typescript into usable javascript

gulp setup

This will create the build directory in the root of cilantro-js. Inside this directory there are 3 sub-directories:

bundle/
js/
ts/

The ts directory contains all of the typescript files brought together into a single directory for transpiling, the js directory contains all the transpiled files from the ts directory, and the bundle directory contains a single bundle.js file to be used for web applications.

gulp transpile

This will transpile the contents of build/ts into like-for-like files in build/js.

gulp bundlejs

This will take the contents of build/js alongside all npm dependencies and generate a monolithic bundle under build/bundle for distribution as a generic javascript library.

Following a successful build, the test endpoints can be run against the generated Javascript library:

make test

This will run the suite of unit tests against the built code (note, make build is a prerequisite of the tests running) to ensure its integrity. If for some reason your local tests are not passing after a successful build, please feel free to open a ticket here.
