Getting Started with Unpoly

Before diving into the technicalities, head over to unpoly.com for guides and documentation that will help you get set up quickly. Here are some key starting points:

• Installation instructions for different package managers and programming languages.
• Join the discussion in our community forum.
• Check out notable changes in the Unpoly library.

Installation of Development Dependencies

To build Unpoly, you will require the following:

• Node.js
• Webpack
• Other npm packages

Start by installing the Node version from the specified .nvmrc file. Then, install all necessary npm packages by running:

npm install

Quick Start

To quickly get the Unpoly library running and view the test suite, simply execute:

npm run dev

Understanding the Build Process through an Analogy

Picture Unpoly as a bakery. When you want to create a delectable cake (your project), you need to gather your ingredients (Node.js, Webpack, npm packages) first. When you’re ready to bake, the npm run dev command is like preheating the oven and rolling out the dough; it prepares your project for immediate testing. However, if you change your mind and want to tweak a recipe (make source file changes), running npm run watch-dev is akin to having a baker keep an eye on the oven, making sure they can adjust the cake’s temperature at a moment’s notice.

Running Tests

Unpoly allows you to run tests using a browser-based Jasmine runner. To initiate the test process, run:

npm run test

This command opens a server on http://localhost:4000, launching your default browser to display the test results. For more intricate testing, a support repository named unpoly-manual-tests is available, particularly for aspects challenging to test through unit tests, like visual overlays.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during setup or while using Unpoly, here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure that you’ve installed the correct version of Node.js as specified in the .nvmrc file.
• Re-run npm install to ensure all dependencies are correctly installed.
• If files are not building as expected, try cleaning out the node_modules folder and reinstalling.
• For any persistent issues, refer to the Unpoly documentation or check our community forum for more guidance.
