## Build
2013-02-10 22:17:35 +08:00
2014-05-30 16:33:11 +08:00
The code of the JSON Editor is located in the folder `./src`. To build
jsoneditor:
2013-02-10 22:17:35 +08:00
- Install dependencies:
2013-02-10 22:17:35 +08:00
2015-03-18 15:56:54 +08:00
```
npm install
```
2014-05-30 16:33:11 +08:00
- Build JSON Editor:
2015-03-18 15:56:54 +08:00
```
npm run build
```
2014-05-30 16:33:11 +08:00
This will generate the files `./jsoneditor.js`, `./jsoneditor.css`, and
2016-01-11 16:49:42 +08:00
minified versions in the dist of the project.
- To automatically build when a source file has changed:
```
npm start
2016-01-11 16:49:42 +08:00
```
This will update `./jsoneditor.js` and `./jsoneditor.css` in the dist folder
on every change, but it will **NOT** update the minified versions as that's
an expensive operation.
2015-02-28 05:16:05 +08:00
## Test
Run unit tests:
```
npm test
```
Run code linting ([JavaScript Standard Style](https://standardjs.com/)):
```
npm run lint
```
2015-02-28 22:23:19 +08:00
## Custom builds
2015-02-28 05:16:05 +08:00
2015-03-18 15:56:54 +08:00
The source code of JSONEditor consists of CommonJS modules. JSONEditor can be bundled in a customized way using a module bundler like [browserify](http://browserify.org/) or [webpack](http://webpack.github.io/). First, install all dependencies of jsoneditor:
npm install
2015-03-18 15:57:33 +08:00
To create a custom bundle of the source code using browserify:
2015-02-28 05:16:05 +08:00
browserify ./index.js -o ./jsoneditor.custom.js -s JSONEditor
The Ace editor, used in mode `code`, accounts for about one third of the total
size of the library. To exclude the Ace editor from the bundle:
browserify ./index.js -o ./jsoneditor.custom.js -s JSONEditor -x brace -x brace/mode/json -x brace/ext/searchbox
2015-02-28 22:30:26 +08:00
To minify the generated bundle, use [uglifyjs](https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2):
uglifyjs ./jsoneditor.custom.js -o ./jsoneditor.custom.min.js -m -c
