Development Guide
Dependencies
This project depends on Vega-Lite as a formal model for visualization.
If you plan to make changes to these dependencies and observe the changes without publishing / copying compiled libraries all the time, use bower link
and 'npm link'.
cd path/to/vega-lite
bower link
npm link
In the directory for compass, run
# optional: npm link datalib
npm link vega-lite
bower link vega-lite
Compiling
You can run npm run build
to compile Vega-Lite.
You can npm run watch
to start a watcher task that automatically re-compiles and tests Compass when any .js
file in test/
or src/
changes.
Note: These commands use Gulp internally; Therefore, you need to install gulp globally with
npm install -g gulp
to make them work.
