How to build

Source code is divided into class files (dev/src/*.js). These files include multi-language comments. You can build enchant.js with 'grunt' command from these files. If you want to send a pull request or join development enchant.js, please edit files under dev/src, use this build tool and commit the built work tree.

To setup grunt.js (build tool for node.js) as npm package, type:

npm install -g grunt-cli
npm install

You additionally need phantomjs to run qunit test in grunt.js.

Build Tasks

• grunt do default tasks (jshint concat uglify qunit exec:lang)
• grunt watch watch dev/src/*.js and exec grunt concat uglify lang when something is modified
• grunt jshint check sourcecode in dev/classes/*.js with jshint
• grunt concat generate dev/enchant.js from dev/classes/*.js
• grunt uglify generate enchant.min.js from dev/enchant.js
• grunt exec:lang generate enchant.js (English comment only) from dev/enchant.js
• grunt qunit do qunit tests with phantomjs (headless browser)

If you wish to send your codes to github repos, don't forget to run grunt command before you commit your change!
