In the spirit of open source software development, jQuery always encourages community code contribution. To help you get started and before you jump into writing code, be sure to read these important contribution guidelines thoroughly:
In order to build Sizzle, you should have Node.js/npm latest and git 1.7 or later (earlier versions might work OK, but are not tested).
For Windows you have to download and install git and Node.js.
Mac OS users should install Homebrew. Once Homebrew is installed, run brew install git to install git,
and brew install node to install Node.js.
Linux/BSD users should use their appropriate package managers to install git and Node.js, or build from source if you swing that way. Easy-peasy.
Clone a copy of the main Sizzle git repo by running:
git clone git@github.com:jquery/sizzle.gitIn the sizzle/dist folder you will find build version of sizzle along with the minified copy and associated map file.
- Run
npm install, it's also preferable (but not necessarily) to globally installgrunt-clipackage –npm install -g grunt-cli - Open
test/index.htmlin the browser. Or runnpm test/grunt teston the command line, if environment variablesBROWSER_STACK_USERNAMEandBROWSER_STACK_ACCESS_KEYare set up, it will attempt to use Browserstack service (you will need to install java on your machine so browserstack could connect to your local server), otherwise PhantomJS will be used. - The actual unit tests are in the
test/unitdirectory.
Developing with grunt
npm run buildorgruntwill lint, build, test, and compare the sizes of the built files.npm startorgrunt startcan be run to re-lint, re-build, and re-test files as you change them.grunt -helpwill show other available commands.
