This is the compilation repository for Processing.js, used in building the processing.js library from a series of Node.js flavoured commonjs modules, rather than existing as one large file as was the case in all versions up to and including 1.4.1 (released august 2012) .

The current version is 1.4.13 (released March 21, 2015)

note: this is not the repository for Processing, the language and IDE. Processing itself is hosted over at https://github.com/processing/processing. This is also not where to file bugs or ask questions about the "JS mode" that can be used with Processing, that project is hosted over at https://github.com/fjenett/javascript-mode-processing

bower install Processing.js

npm install processing-js

Simply grab the processing.js or processing.min.js files, include them as script on your webpage, and you're all set. See test.html for a simple example of using Processing.js on your pages.

Clone this project using git, and ensure you have node.js installed. After cloning, install the require node packages using npm install in the processing-js directory. Modifying the code and building your own processing.js and processing.min.js files is then a fairly straight forward process. Modify the code as much as you want or need, then:

1. Lint: $> grunt
2. Test: $> node test

If step 1 gives you a "grunt: command not found" or similar error, run npm install -g grunt-cli to make sure grunt is globally installed as CLI command. If step 1 does not throw any errors, step 2 will run the Processing object through a battery of tests. Once the browser reference tests start, your processing.js and processing.min.js have been successfully built.

The test script also accepts the following optional arguments:

• --test=testfile.pde runs one specific test
• --nobuild does not build Pjs if all tests pass
• --failonerror terminates the run if any error occurs.
• --noref will not start a server process and a browser for doing ref testing.
• --noautoref will start a server and a browser for ref testing, but doesn't auto-start the tests.

You can also perform the post-unit-test steps manually:

• Build processing.js: $> browserify build.js -o processing.js
• Minify processing.js: $> node minify
• Run test server: $> node server

With the test server is running, the following urls are good to know:

• http://localhost:3000 - vanilla example page
• http://localhost:3000/ref - reference testing page
• http://localhost:3000/perf - performance testing page
• http://localhost:3000/processing-helper.html - utility page for converting/running Processing code
