prismic.io

JavaScript development kit for prismic.io

• The source code is on Github.
• The Changelog is on Github's releases tab.

Installation

You can install a stable version using npm:

npm install prismic.io

Or using bower:

bower install prismic.io

Finally, you can find downloadable versions of the kit on our release page: https://github.com/prismicio/javascript-kit/releases.

Usage

If you don't have a Prismic.io repository yet, find out how to get one.

Once your repository is ready, you can use the Javascript kit server-side with Node.js, or client-side without needing and specific technology server-side. We provide various starter kits depending on your choice:

• jQuery starter kit
• Node.js starter kit
• Single page starter kit
• Static pages generation with baked.js

We're working hard to keep all the starter kit up-to-date, but it's always a good idea to check on this page if you're on the latest version of the kit. We're constantly adding new features to Prismic.io, and it is necessary to have the latest version to use all of them.

You can then read the documentation from the Developer's Portal for more details on how to use

Contribute to the kit

Contribution is open to all developer levels, read our "Contribute to the official kits" documentation to learn more.

Install the kit locally

You can simply execute this JavaScript kit with a web browser, but before committing, we kindly ask you to run the gulp command (it will make sure all tests still pass, and concatenate/minify your changes).

To install gulp and other required packages: install Node.js and npm, and then run this from your kit's repository, as an administrator:

npm install -g gulp
npm install

Test

Please write tests in test/test.js for any bugfix or new feature, following the very simple QUnit syntax, if you need to test with a real Prismic.io repository. Otherwise use test/unit.js for unit testing features.

Execute the tests either by opening test/test.html or test/unit.html in a browser, or by using Gulp:

• gulp jshint will run jshint to check for syntax errors or bad practice in the code
• gulp test will run jshint, all the tests and display the result on your shell
• gulp test:int will run all integration tests (the ones from test/test.html)
• gulp test:unit will run all unit tests (the ones from test/unit.html)
• gulp test:doc will run all tests related to the code snippets from the documentation (the ones from test/doc.html)

If you find existing code that is not optimally tested and wish to make it better, we really appreciate it; but you should document it on its own branch and its own pull request.

Documentation

Please document any new feature or bugfix using the JSDoc syntax. You don't need to generate the documentation, we'll do that.

If you feel an existing area of code is lacking documentation, feel free to write it; but please do so on its own branch and pull-request.

If you find existing code that is not optimally documented and wish to make it better, we really appreciate it; but you should document it on its own branch and its own pull request.
