Have in mind that you have to build your library before publishing. The files under the lib folder are the ones that should be distributed.

Getting started

1. Build your library

• Modify the testconfig.js file with the credentials of test account.
• Run npm install to get the project's dependencies
• Run npm run build to produce minified version of your library.

2. Development mode

• Having all the dependencies installed run npm run dev. This command will generate an non-minified version of your library and will run a watcher so you get the compilation on file change.

3. Running the tests

• Run npm run test

Scripts

• npm run build - produces production version of your library under the lib folder
• npm run dev - produces development version of your library and runs a watcher
• npm run test - well ... it runs the tests :)
• npm run test:watch - same as above but in a watch mode
