## Contributing
We appreciate all contributions towards the player! Before submitting an issue or PR, please see our contributing docs [here](CONTRIBUTING.md).
## Building the Player
We use `grunt` and a few `npm scripts` to build the player, lint code, and run tests. Debug code is built to `/bin-debug`, while minified & uglified code is built to `/bin-release`. Code is built with `webpack`, linted with `eslint`, and tested with `karma`, `mocha` and `chai`.
#### Requirements:
- [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/download/) with npm
- Install global npm dependencies
`npm install -g eslint grunt-cli jsdoc karma-cli stylelint webpack webpack-cli`
#### Steps:
1. Fork the project, clone your fork, and set up the remotes:
````bash
# Clone your fork of the repo into the current directory
git clone https://github.com//jwplayer
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory
cd jwplayer
# Assign the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
git remote add upstream https://github.com/jwplayer/jwplayer
````
2. Install the dependencies:
````bash
# Install dependencies
npm install -g eslint grunt-cli jsdoc karma-cli stylelint webpack webpack-cli
npm install
# Optionally, install webpack-dev-server
npm install -g webpack-dev-server
````
3. Build the player:
````bash
# Build once
grunt
# Complete Watch - builds JS, lints, and tests on each change
grunt serve
# Quick JS Watch - build only. Requires webpack-dev-server to be installed globally
webpack-dev-server -w --env.debug --port 8888 --output-public-path /bin-debug/
# Open the test page from another terminal window
open http://localhost:8888/test/manual/
````
4. Test your code:
````bash
# All browsers
grunt test
# Individual browsers - chrome, firefox, safari
grunt karma:{BROWSER} e.g. grunt karma:chrome
````
5. Lint your code:
````bash
npm run lint
````
6. Setup git pre-push hook
This will add a `pre-push` script to the project's .git/hooks folder that will lint and run unit tests on the branch before any push.
````bash
grunt hooks
````
