# Raphaël: Cross-browser vector graphics the easy way.

Visit the library website for more information: ~~[http://raphaeljs.com](http://raphaeljs.com/)~~ [http://dmitrybaranovskiy.github.io/raphael/](http://dmitrybaranovskiy.github.io/raphael/)

## Quickstart guide

You need to have NPM installed to build the library.

* `git clone https://github.com/DmitryBaranovskiy/raphael.git`
* `npm run start`
* `npm run build`

To run tests you need to open `dev/test/index.html` in your browser, there's no automated way right now.

## Dependencies
* [eve](https://github.com/adobe-webplatform/eve)


## Distributable 

All files are UMD compliant.

You can use:
* `raphael.min.js` (includes `eve` and it's minified)
* `raphael.js` (includes `eve` and it's not minified)
* `raphael.no-deps.js` (doesn't include `eve` it's not minified)
* `raphael.no-deps.min.js`  (doesn't include `eve` it's minified)

## Where to start
Check [Raphael-boilerplate](https://github.com/tomasAlabes/raphael-boilerplate) to see examples of loading.

Raphael can be loaded in a script tag or with AMD:

```js
define([ "path/to/raphael" ], function( Raphael ) {
  console.log( Raphael );
});
```

## Development

Versions will be released as we gather and test new PRs. 
As there are a lot of browsers being supported it might take a while to accept a PR, we will use the feedback from other users too.


You can use the `raphaelTest.html` to try things, you need to start a server in the root dir to start testing things there.
Something like running `python -m SimpleHTTPServer` in the `raphael` directory and hitting `http://localhost:8000/dev/raphaelTest.html` with the browser. You should run `npm run start` before this can work.
