Explanation, demo, ports etc.

The reference implementation is written in Haxe.

Building

Requirements: Nix package manage. If you want to build without Nix you will require GNU Make, Haxe 3 and JDK 7+. See default.nix for command line instructions.

To run full test suite:

nix-build -A test

To build JavaScript distributions (Node.js and browser):

nix-build -A jsPublicNodePackage
nix-build -A jsPublicMin

To build Haxe documentation:

nix-build -A docs

To build website:

nix-build -A website

To build website and start localhost server:

./scripts/serve-website.sh

Testing

The snapshot file is stored for regression testing. If a backwards-incompatible change is made, a new snapshot file can be generated as follows:

nix-build -A snapshotJson

The format of the file is as follows:

{
  "#000000": {
    rgb: [ 0, 0, 0 ],
    xyz: [ 0, 0, 0 ],
    luv: [ 0, 0, 0 ],
    lch: [ 0, 0, 0 ],
    hsluv: [ 0, 0, 0 ],
    hpluv: [ 0, 0, 0 ]
  },
  ...
}

Deploying

See /scripts for automated deployments.

You will need access to our shared credentials.

Versioning

Following semantic versioning, the major version must be incremented whenever the color math changes. These changes can be tested for with snapshot files.
