If you want to use this repository as a base to test out changes for mapmap.js, the best setup is to link your local checkout of the mapmap.js repository as a npm package using npm link.
To do this, in the directory of your mapmap.js repository, run
npm link
Then, in the directory of this repository (mapmap-examples), run this sequence of commands:
npm link mapmap
npm install
You can then edit the mapmap.js source code in the original repository and have the changes reflected here. To automatically trigger a rebuild of mapmap.js with every change, run
npm run watch
and keep it running as long as you develop.
For more information on mapmap.js, see the mapmap.js Programming Guide, API Documentation or wiki.
