The repo uses submodules. If you did not clone with --recursive then you need to call
git submodule update --init
The package manager used to install and link dependencies must be pnpm or yarn. npm wont work.
To develop and test:
if you use yarn then run yarn
if you use pnpm then run pnpm i
Interactive Menu:
To start the interactive menu, run npm start (or yarn start or pnpm start). This will list all of the commonly used scripts.
npm run build.all
WARNING: it seems yarn build.all wont always work (not finding binaries in node_modules/.bin) which is why the doc explicitly uses npm run
npm run demo.[ng|react|svelte|vue].[ios|android] npm run demo.svelte.ios # Example
Demo setup is a bit special in the sense that if you want to modify/add demos you dont work directly in demo-[ng|react|svelte|vue]
Instead you work in demo-snippets/[ng|react|svelte|vue]
You can start from the install.ts of each flavor to see how to register new demos
You can update the repo files quite easily
First update the submodules
npm run update
Then commit the changes Then update common files
npm run sync
Then you can run yarn|pnpm, commit changed files if any
npm run readme
npm run doc
The publishing is completely handled by lerna (you can add -- --bump major to force a major release)
Simply run
npm run publish
The repo uses https:// for submodules which means you won't be able to push directly into the submodules.
One easy solution is t modify ~/.gitconfig and add
[url "ssh://[email protected]/"]
pushInsteadOf = https://github.com/
