#Hiatus

Hi all! I will be taking a 3 month break from KineticJS (until July 2014) to focus on other endeavors. KineticJS is in a great state right now (v5.1.0). Please continue to file any issues that you may find, or submit pull requests. They will eventually be addressed.

#Installation

Before doing all dev stuff make sure you have node installed. After that, run npm install --dev in the main directory to install the node module dependencies.

Run grunt --help to see all build options.

#Building the KineticJS Framework

To build a development version of the framework, run grunt dev. To run a full build, which also produces the minified version and the individually minified modules for the custom build, run grunt full. You can also run grunt beta to generate a beta version.

If you add a file in the src directory, be sure to add the filename to the sourceFiles array variable in Gruntfile.js.

#Testing

KineticJS uses Mocha for testing.

• If you need run test only one time run grunt test.
• While developing it is easy to use grunt server with watch task. Just run it and go to http://localhost:8080/test/runner.html. After src file change kinetic-dev.js will be automatically created, so you just need refresh test the page.

KineticJS is covered with hundreds of tests and well over a thousand assertions. KineticJS uses TDD (test driven development) which means that every new feature or bug fix is accompanied with at least one new test.

#Generation documentation

Run grunt docs which will build the documentation files and place them in the docs folder.

#NodeJS

Support of NodeJS is experimental.

We are using node-canvas to create canvas element.

Instalation

1. Install node-canvas https://github.com/LearnBoost/node-canvas/wiki/_pages
2. npm install jsdom
3. npm install kinetic

###Example

See file nodejs-demo.js.

#Pull Requests I'd be happy to review any pull requests that may better the KineticJS project, in particular if you have a bug fix, enhancement, or a new shape (see src/shapes for examples). Before doing so, please first make sure that all of the tests pass (grunt test).
