The code is in typescript. Use a typescript IDE of your choice, like Visual Studio Code or WebStorm.
To set up the development environment, run:
> npm install
To automatically compile, bundle and push code changes to the running test project, run:
> npm start
To run the project unit tests with code coverage, results can be found at dist/testresults/coverage/index.html, run:
> npm run test:unit
Run the unit test continuously during development:
> npm run test:dev
Run the end to end test during development:
> npm run test:e2e:dev
