Mailing Lists

We have a low-traffic mailing list for announcements of new ripple-lib releases. (About 1 email per week)

• Subscribe to ripple-lib-announce

If you're using the XRP Ledger in production, you should run a rippled server and subscribe to the ripple-server mailing list as well.

• Subscribe to ripple-server

Development

To build the library for Node.js:

$ yarn compile

The TypeScript compiler will output the resulting JS files in ./dist/npm/.

To build the library for the browser:

$ yarn build

Gulp will output the resulting JS files in ./build/.

For details, see the scripts in package.json.

Running Tests

1. Clone the repository
2. cd into the repository and install dependencies with yarn install
3. yarn test

Also, run yarn lint to lint the code with tslint.

Generating Documentation

The continuous integration tests require that the documentation stays up-to-date. If you make changes to the JSON schemas, fixtures, or documentation sources, you must update the documentation by running yarn run docgen.
