Development Guide

$3

This project depends on Vega-Lite as a formal model for visualization.

If you plan to make changes to these dependencies and observe the changes without publishing / copying compiled libraries all the time, use bower link and 'npm link'.

``
cd path/to/vega-lite
bower link
npm link
`

In the directory for compass, run

`


optional: npm link datalib


npm link vega-lite
bower link vega-lite
`

$3

You can run npm run build to compile Vega-Lite.

You can npm run watch to start a watcher task that automatically re-compiles and tests Compass when any .js file in test/ or src/ changes.

Note: These commands use Gulp internally; Therefore, you need to install gulp globally with
`sh
npm install -g gulp
``
to make them work.
