## Development
To build the library for Node.js:
```
$ yarn compile
```
The TypeScript compiler will [output](./tsconfig.json#L7) the resulting JS files in `./dist/npm/`.
To build the library for the browser:
To build the library for Node.js and the browser:
```
$ yarn build
```
Gulp will [output](./Gulpfile.js) the resulting JS files in `./build/`.
The TypeScript compiler will [output](./tsconfig.json#L7) the resulting JS files in `./dist/npm/`.
webpack will output the resulting JS files in `./build/`.
For details, see the `scripts` in `package.json`.
## Running Tests
### Unit Tests
1. Clone the repository
2. `cd` into the repository and install dependencies with `yarn install`
3. `yarn test`
Also, run `yarn lint` to lint the code with `tslint`.
### Linting
Run `yarn lint` to lint the code with `tslint`.
## Generating Documentation
The continuous integration tests require that the documentation stays up-to-date. If you make changes to the JSON schemas, fixtures, or documentation sources, you must update the documentation by running `yarn run docgen`.
Do not edit `./docs/index.md` directly because it is a generated file.
Instead, edit the appropriate `.md.ejs` files in `./docs/src/`.
If you make changes to the JSON schemas, fixtures, or documentation sources, update the documentation by running `yarn run docgen`.
