Amber-ProcessingJs

By Sebastian Heidbrink

Amber is an implementation of the Smalltalk language that runs on top of the JavaScript runtime. It is designed to make client-side development faster and easier. This Project enhances Amber by an interface layer to ProcessingJs. This shall make it easier to enhance Amber applications with data visualization capabilities.

Prerequisites

1. A web browser with reasonably good support for HTML5 canvas.
2. nodejs. This will give you the node package manager npm as well.
3. A global install of the amber npm package
4. A global install of the bower client side package manager in order to install the dependencies

The amber and bower packages can be installed with the following command (In some cases you have to call npm with sudo npm):

npm install --global amber-cli bower grunt-cli

or the same thing, but less typing:

npm i -g amber-cli bower grunt-cli

Getting Started

Clone the repo, and start the amber server:

git clone https://github.com/HeSe/amber-processingJs.git
cd amber-processingJs
npm install
bower install
grunt devel
amber serve

Point your browser to:

http://localhost:4000/index.html

Enjoy!

The default port is 4000. Use --port to specify a custom port:

amber serve --port 9000
