The Blackstar namespace will be available on the window object.

<h2 data-blackstar-name="smaller-heading"></h2>
<div data-blackstar-name="second-content"></div>
<script src="blackstar-cms-client.js"></script>
<script>
var blackstar = new Blackstar.Client('http://localhost:2999/', { showEditControls: true });
blackstar.get({ names: ['smaller-heading','second-content'] }).then(function (chunks) {
    blackstar.bind(chunks);     // bind by matching data-blackstar-name values to chunk names 
});
</script>
