如何将以下 GitHub 项目转换为 deployable.js 文件？

Question

I am a total newbie when it comes to GitHub and Javascript. I have spent an hour playing around with Git Bash, but I seem no closer to actually achieving what I expect is a very simple task.

Quite simply - how do I compile the following Javascript project?

The following repo contains all the source code for a project. I understand that to deploy it everything has to be combined into two.js files.

But how do you compile?

Answer 1

If you look at the package.json file, you'll see that it has a couple of build scripts including just build which seems to combine all of them.

To build it, you need to have Node.js installed. From then on, after cloning the project locally, you'd need to do npm install (from inside the project's dir) and then npm run build which will do the build itself and output the files needed to ./dist .

Answer 2

Can you just use the CDN: https://formbuilder.online/docs/getting-started/ ?

Are you attempting to build it locally?
