maas.js

A JavaScript library for the browser to interact with maas-server.

Written in ES6, compiled with traceur and browserify.

Features

• A Promise-based interface to communicate with maas-server.
• By request, another Promise-based interface to communicate with maas-server at a slightly lower level.
• Journey ID generation.
• Appendable array database that synchronizes stored data from memory into LocalStorage every t seconds or every n stored objects.

Installation

npm install -g gulp
npm install lodash-cli
./build_lodash.sh
npm install

The two extra steps for lodash create a custom, minified build. The downside of this approach is that the lodash functions used in the code must be diligently updated in build_lodash.sh, by hand.

Use

Browserify for inclusion in the browser.

gulp

Lint source code.

gulp lint

Run tests. Currently there are only a few tests! Shame on me.

gulp test

Build ES6 into ES5.

gulp build
