You should create a Github account and fork the repository (you will need one to create the pull request).
If you just want the get the source code, you can use git and do
git clone https://github.com/Stuk/jszip.git
to get the sources. You can also
download the latest sources here.
The dependencies are handled by npm, the first step is to run
npm install
to get the dependencies.
JSZip uses Grunt to handle the build, see here to install its CLI.
Here are the interesting build commands :
grunt
will generate the final js file in dist/ and the minified version.npm run test-node
will run the tests in nodejs.npm run test-browser
will the tests in some browsers using SauceLabs, see
below.npm run test
will run the tests in nodejs and in the browser.npm run lint
will use jshint the check the source code.The documentation uses jekyll on gh-pages. To render the documentation, you
need to install jekyll and then run
jekyll serve --baseurl ''
.
To test JSZip in nodejs, use npm run test-node
.
To test JSZip in a browser, you can open the file test/index.html
in the
browser you want to test. Don’t forget to update the dist/ files with grunt
.
You can also test JSZip in a lot of browsers at once with SauceLabs. You will need a SauceLabs account and two variables into your environment. On linux, just use
export SAUCE_USERNAME=your-saucelabs-username
export SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY=your-saucelabs-access-key
before running the npm run test-browser
command.
If you have tested bug fixes or new features, you can open a pull request on Github.
