Divide & conquer complex web apps
The best way to get started depends on why you're here.
- I want to build an application with BRJS.
- I want to learn more about BRJS.
- I'm already familiar with BRJS and want to write a plugin.
- I'd like to get the core BRJS development environment set up.
The main documentation for BRJS can be found via http://bladerunnerjs.org/docs. The source code for the documentation can be found via https://github.com/BladeRunnerJS/brjs-site so if you find any error or have any suggestions please submit a pull request.
API reference guides are coming soon.
If you are interested in contributing to the BRJS core toolkit then the following information is of use.
git clone git@github.com:BladeRunnerJS/brjs.git
cd brjs
BRJS is written and compiled using Java 8, but we distribute it and run the tests against it using Java 7, courtesy of retrolambda. Because of this, you will need to do the following:
- Install both Java 7 and Java 8 JDKs.
- Configure
JAVA7_HOMEto point to the Java 7 JDK home directory. - Configure
JAVA8_HOMEto point to the Java 8 JDK home directory. - Configure
JAVA_HOMEto point to either the Java 7 or the Java 8 JDK home directory, as you prefer. - Configure the
pathenvironment variable to include$JAVA_HOME/bin.
If you install Java using the Windows installer than it places a 'java' executable in 'C:\windows\system32' that proxies to the most recently installed version of Java. You will either need to install your preferred implementation of Java last, or ensure that the path to the Java 'bin' directory appears before 'C:\windows\system32'.
From the root brjs source directory:
$ ./gradlew brjs-sdk:distZip
The built zip file will be found in BRJS_ROOT/brjs-sdk/build/distributions/ in the format BladeRunner-VERSION.zip.
See the BRJS Developer Setup Guide for more information. See how the BRJS team use Github and git.
