Development Workflows - Linking and creating custom endpoints and registries.
Installation Options

Read the loader documentation at the SystemJS project page.

There is also a great introduction, JavaScript Modules and Dependencies with jspm at JavaScriptPlayground by Jack Franklin.

Example

  jspm install npm:voxel-demo -y
  jspm bundle voxel-demo -i

The above populates a jspm_packages folder in the current directory, and generates a config.js file containing the SystemJS loader configuration.

It then creates a bundle file for the full tree, and ensures it is loaded on demand.

We can then run this demo with:

<!doctype html>
  <script src="jspm_packages/system.js"></script>
  <script src="config.js"></script>
  <script>
    System.import('voxel-demo');
  </script>
