Add instruction on running test/example #41

Closed RoelN closed 4 years ago

RoelN commented 4 years ago

Because Font.js is loaded as module, it needs to be served instead of being accessed from the filesystem. Maybe add a note explaining this to index.html?

(Perhaps including the python -m SimpleHTTPServer quick tip?)

Or is there a way to get this going from the file system? Maybe by offering a rolled-up version in a dist folder?

By the way, document title is Tets

Instructions added.

This was designed specifically to work in the browser, and relies on the Fetch API, so if anyone wants to run this offline/server-side, they'd probably need to fake a browser. I'm not super keen on the idea of writing if browser elseif node else... code

RoelN commented 4 years ago

Would some quick and dirty swapping of the Fetch API with something like fs be possible?

Pomax commented 4 years ago

You can install node-fetch and then require that in as a shim for Fetch, probably.
