How to Contribute

Requirements

You must have node.js and git installed.

You also need npm in version 7 (because of 2nd version of lockfile which was introduced there) which comes with Node.js 15 or newer. To simplify installation of proper versions you can make use of nvm and run nvm install it will activate proper Node.js version in your current command prompt session.

Feature Toggles

Some feature might be hidden by default. Functions to enable/disable them are available inside global featureToggles and operate on a window.localStorage.

For example use featureToggles.enableEllipseTool() to make ellipse tool button visible. Then featureToggles.disableEllipseTool() to hide it.
