Build from source
npm install
npm run build
The build is for both development and production.
It's possible to only build development with npm run build-dev or production (no mapfile) with npm run build-prod.
There is another build command to analyze the production package and check which parts of the code weighs more than other parts with npm run build-analyze. This will open localhost:8888 where code parts can be checked.
Unit tests
npm test
Lint
npm run lint
Generate source code documentation
npm run doc
Browse the html files from the generated out directory.
Design principles
This library has no dependencies when executed in a browser. It's written with plain javascript and meant to be easily used in the context of a modern, standard compliant web browser.
Each function does just one thing and tries to do it well.
Each function is indenpendent from other functions.

"Do one thing and do it well", Sitepoint.

npm and bower registries
Pushing a new tag is enough to update the bower registry, only the initial setup was required.
For npm, run npm publish to push a new tag version.
