These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
See usage for notes on how to integrate the project in your software.
To get started locally, follow these instructions:
1. Make sure that you have Node 10.x or later installed.
See instructions here.
1. Make sure that you have yarn installed; see instructions here.
1. simple-odf uses npm for running development scripts.
If you haven't already done so, please install npm.
1. Clone the forked repo to your local computer using git.
Open terminal and type:
``sh`
git clone https://github.com/
1. Run npm install from the root of your clone of this project to install dependencies.
`sh`
# navigate into the cloned repo
cd simple-odf
# install the dependencies
npm install
To make a local build run:
`sh`
npm build
npm pack
This generates a number of javascript files in the dist/ directory and a simple-odf- file in the project root.
To actually use the locally built lib, switch to another repository reproducing the specific issue you want to fix (or just generate a local repo). Then install the locally built package:
`sh`
cd
npm install
There are two different kind of tests which can be run locally:
#### Unit Tests
Each class of project should be tested isolated which is done by the unit tests. To run them, just execute npm test.
There are also some tests which verify that the resulting document is correct. These cannot be run yet.
When debugging a specific test, change describe() or it() to fdescribe() and fit() to focus execution to just that one test. This will keep the output clean and speed up execution by not running irrelevant tests.
If you want to use this package in your software, add it to your project dependencies via npm or yarn.
`sh`npm
npm i simple-odfyarn
yarn add simple-odf
Now you can create your first document.
`javascript
const simpleOdf = require('simple-odf');
const document = new simpleOdf.TextDocument();
const body = document.getBody();
body.addHeading('Welcome to simple-odf');
body.addParagraph('The quick, brown fox jumps over a lazy dog.');
document.saveFlat('/home/homer/Welcome.fodf');
``
See the examples for more details on how to use the library.
