A first edition of `DEVELOPER.md` inspired from the angular.dart version
and expanded to include instructions given in this repos’ `README.md`
(which has been cleaned up and padded up).
Closes#946
Due to #670, this commit makes explicitly clear that version `>=1.4.0`
of the `pub` command line tool is required to run a local build with
`gulp build`.
There are lots of issues being created regarding the 1.3 version in this repo.
Warning the users that this repo is for Angular 2.0 should avoid this confusion.
Closes#373
simplify:
- use same html file for dart and JS
- build benchmarks automatically when doing `gulp build`
- centralize configuration
modularize:
- move all build tasks into separate node.js modules under
`tools/build`.
changes:
- the `build` folder is now the `dist` folder
Closes#284
* remove `wraps` syntax enhancements for imports
and support new `import * as module from ...` syntax
- default imports are the wrong construct for importing
everything from a module
* moved tests from transpiler to jasmine and karma
- transpiler tests are included when running karma in main project folder
- transpiler is reloaded after every test run in karma,
so no need to restart karma when the transpiler has been changed.
- removed own gulp build for transpiler and `postinstall.sh`
as they are no more needed.
- transpiler tests are now executed in Dart AND JavaScript (used to be executed
only in Dart), which allowed to catch some bugs (see the bug with the
import specification above).
* made tests work in dart as well by using the following hack:
- dependencies are loaded from the `build` folder, which makes
running `gulp build` necessary before running karma for dart
- for this to work,
the dependencies are included in main `pubspec.yaml` of project
- reason for the hack: `karma-dart` loads all `packages` urls
directly from disc (should rather use the karma file list)
* added explicit annotations `FIELD`, `ABSTRACT`, ... to `facade/lang.*`
- needed for now that we can run tests and don't get errors for undefined
annotations.
* added `README.md` with details about the build and tests
