Using AnyChart in Node.js

Build and debug

Dependencies

AnyChart uses several third-party libraries and tools to work with JavaScript and CSS.

GraphicsJS - High-performance SVG/VML drawing library.
Google Closure Library - powerful, low-level JavaScript library.
Google Closure Compiler - compiles JavaScript code to better JavaScript.
lesscpy - Python LESS Compiler. Used to compile and minify AnyChart UI css.

Building options

build.py python script is used to work with AnyChart project. You need to install python to use it.

To see all available options of the build script use -h or --help command:

./build.py -h.

To see command options use:

./build.py <command_name> -h

To install all dependencies use the deps command:

./build.py deps.

After running this command you can compile the project using the compile command:

./build.py compile

This compiles production version of anychart-bundle and puts it into the out folder.

To compile other modules use -m or --module option. To see all available modules see the description of -m option in the compile command help:

./build.py compile -h

To create a dev build for the debug purposes use -d or --develop option:

./build.py compile -d

The -df option generates property renaming report, variable renaming report, and source map location mapping files:

./build.py compile -df

Source map maps minified code to source code. Read more about using source maps in Chrome or source maps in Firefox.
