Development

To start local development, simply install npm dependencies (npm i) and run npm run dev to watch ts files in src/. Built files can be found in dist/.

Demo

To run the demo, ensure you have run the build script and have a dist dir in your project root. Then run npm run demo:setup to copy these to the demo. Navigate to the demo and install its dependencies (cd demo && npm i). You can now start the demo app locally by running npm start.
