A JavaScript library to develop applications for mCAP. You will find more informations about mCAP here.

Setup for development

Tests

Install Jasmine:

We use Jasmine version 2.0.0 as test suite. You find further information here: Jasmine version 2.0.0

To install the node version of Jasmine run:

npm install jasmine-node -g

Run Karma:

We use Karma as test runner. To run the tests you have to complete the following steps. We are working on a solution to make the setup a bit easier

You have to install karma-cli global

npm install karma-cli -g

Install PhantomJS

npm install phantomjs -g

Set phantomjs env variable

export PHANTOMJS_BIN=$(which phantomjs)

To start a test use:

karma start karma.conf.js
// or
grunt test

It is also possible to test against a running server: Add a online.conf.js file to the root:

window.USERNAME = window.USERNAME || 'username';
window.ORGANIZATION = window.ORGANIZATION || 'org';
window.PASSWORD = window.PASSWORD || 'password';

karma start karma.online.conf.js
