Development

We are glad to see anyone who want to contribute to Caché WEB Terminal development! Check the developer's guide.

In short, the "hot start" is extremely easy. Having latest Git and NodeJS installed, execute the following:

git clone <this repository URL>  # clone this repository into new directory
cd <cloned repository name>      # enter just created directory
npm install -g gulp              # install the global module "gulp" to build the project
npm install                      # install all project's dependencies
gulp                             # build the project

Now, in build folder you will find CacheWebTerminal-v*.xml file ready to import. Every time you changes is ready to be tested, just run gulp command and import generated XML into Caché.
