- From the project folder, execute the following command:
npm install
- Ensure that Gulp is installed. If you need to install it, use the following command:
npm install -g gulp
- To build the code, you can now run:
gulp build
-
You will find the compiled code in the
dist
folder, available in three module formats: AMD, CommonJS and ES6. -
See
gulpfile.js
for other tasks related to generating the docs and linting.
