Grunt is used for building, including concatenating, minimizing, documenting, linting, and testing.
- Install Node.js and its package manager, NPM
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js

npm install .
Before proceeding, please confirm you have installed the dependencies above.
To run the build tasks:
cd /path/to/ros3dtoolbarjs/utils/
grunt build
grunt build
will concatenate and minimize the files under src and replace ros3dtoolbar.js and ros3dtoolbar.min.js in the build directory. It will also run the linter and test cases. This is what Travis CI runs when a Pull Request is submitted.
grunt dev
will watch for any changes to any of the src/ files and automatically concatenate and minimize the files. This is ideal for those developing as you should only have to run grunt dev
once.
grunt doc
will rebuild all JSDoc for the project.
