Manifest Generator

Installing

Requirements:

• NodeJS
• Packages included via package.json (installed below).

All dependencies are managed by NPM and can be installed with the following command:

npm install

Building

After installing the dependencies, simply run the following command to build the application. Building is managed by Gulp which runs all the necessary tasks. The resulting build can be found in the dist folder.

gulp

Running

The application can be run with:

node dist/main.js

Testing

There are a few tests built into the development lifecycle. These are automatically run on each push to the repository and you can see the output in the badge above. If you wish to test on your own, simply run:

npm test

Documentation

Documentation is included as comments on each appropriate method and class declaration. Eventually, usage documentation will be written and published here.

Notes on Libraries

This software uses NodeJS and TypeScript, both of which are free and open-source. While other languages may be used, it is suggested to at least be familiar with vanilla Javascript and Typescript, as well as the NodeJS built-in libraries.
