• Navigate to checkout folder: cd ib
• Checkout Public Documentation sub-module: git submodule update --init

Build commands

• Build the library code to /dist folder: npm run build or Shift+Ctrl+B in VSCode

• Run ESLint on the library code: npm run lint

• Run the library test code: npm test or F5 in VSCode

• Create development (internal) documentation to /doc-dev folder: npm run doc:dev

• Create public API documentation to /pages/ib-doc folder (this is a submodule!): npm run doc

• Build a full release: npm run release
  This includes running ESLint, tests, building /dist folder and creating the Public API documentation.
  

Debugging

• Go to root folder and run code .
• Implement your test code on a *.spec.ts file and add debug breakpoints as needed.
• Press F5 to run all test files (*.spec.ts) on mocha-runner, with attached the VSCode debugger.

Development Workflow
