Build

You can easily build vue-markdown-editor yourself.

Prerequisites

Our build tool of choice is Webpack. You should have webpack installed globally:

npm install -g webpack

And the build dependencies:

npm install

Build

Any of the following will create the files dist/vue-markdown-editor.js and dist/vue-markdown-editor.css.

Production build

Includes minification and several optimizations:

npm run build

Development build

A faster build suited for development, with no optimizations and without minification:

npm run build-dev

Watch

Start an initial development build and then FAST continuous incremental builds:

npm run dev
