Maintainers are encouraged to label issues. Labeling helps triage issues so developers have an idea of priority.
To develop for formBuilder you'll need:
While not required, the following tools are recommended to maintain code quality and consistency in style.
Navigate to the directory you'll be working from and run:
$ git clone https://github.com/kevinchappell/formBuilder.git form-builder
$ cd form-builder
$ npm i
$ npm startThe above code will clone the repo, install the required node_modules and run the default npm start script. You should now have a locally running version of the demo page.
If you've followed the above steps you're ready to start making changes. All changes to the plugin should be made in the /src directory. The build process will transpile, lint and concatenate the contents of /src into the files found in /dist. Any changes made in the /dist will be lost once the build process is run.
