Installing
The easiest way is to grab it from NPM. If you're running in a Browser environment, you can use Browserify
$ npm install core.inspect
Using with CommonJS
If you're not using NPM, Download the latest release, and require
the core.inspect.umd.js
file:
var Inspect = require('core.inspect')
Using with AMD
Download the latest release, and require the core.inspect.umd.js
file:
require(['core.inspect'], function(Inspect) {
( ... )
})
Using without modules
Download the latest release, and load the core.inspect.umd.js
file. The properties are exposed in the global Folktale.Core.Inspect
object:
<script src="/path/to/core.inspect.umd.js"></script>
Compiling from source
If you want to compile this library from the source, you'll need Git, Make, Node.js, and run the following commands:
$ git clone git://github.com/Folktale/core.inspect.git
$ cd core.inspect
$ npm install
$ make bundle
This will generate the dist/core.inspect.umd.js
file, which you can load in
any JavaScript environment.
Documentation
You can read the documentation online or build it yourself:
$ git clone git://github.com/Folktale/core.inspect.git
$ cd core.inspect
$ npm install
$ make documentation
Then open the file docs/index.html
in your browser.
Platform support
This library assumes an ES5 environment, but can be easily supported in ES3 platforms by the use of shims. Just include es5-shim :)
