compiled releases?

[Brian151]

Would it be possible to include releases that actually have the 'compiled' js files?

This looks like it could be a useful library, but I can't really use it because quite frankly, I have no desire, nor a good reason to involve myself with the nightmare that is npm/nodejs. I don't use it, in fact, I go out of my way not to. Generally not a problem, aside from when I find libraries that just HAVE to have it for some reason...

Beside the nodejs annoyances, releases really should have the finished product, anyways. At least far as I can tell, this is the purpose github intended for them.

Did any of this approaches worked for you? https://github.com/stampit-org/stampit#install Those are browser ready compiled released.

Tell me if it doesn't work or you need something else.

IDK how i missed those... You might want to make them a bit more noticeable since some people see console commands and quit reading...

however, i do get THIS problem, now stampit() TypeError: stampit is not a function [Learn More] typeof stampit "object"

i also did a toSource() , but other than confirm it's an object, nothing of note.

So, how am I supposed to create a new stamp, then? your documentation all says to call stampit() do i just use stampit.something() , now? //github needs to ignore brackets...

another question, can i define the methods like { methodName:function(){} } ?

I'm certainly not willing to trust certain ES6+ syntax to be supported just enough to be safe to use everywhere, also... I might use either typescript or haxe, and i have to use not so exciting things as-is to do what I'm planning to do.

I'll be glad to accept your contribution! Feel free to submit a PR.

TypeError: stampit is not a function [Learn More]

This is an unfortunate error of "too much compilation" so to say. There is an opened issue about that. Have no time to fix it properly. A quick workaround is to replace stampit().bla with stampit.bla.

To dive deeper into the stamps I'd recommend you this blog post series: https://medium.com/@koresar/fun-with-stamps-episode-1-stamp-basics-e0627d81efe0

Have I answered all your questions?

All you need really to do is put "download compiled version" or something Or note that Bower and whatever else aren't mandatory I don't feel comfortable editing an MD file... I generally don't use them, thus never bothered to learn their syntax

Alright... As long as it still works

Neat!

Probably... we'll just see further down the road

Looks like you're new too this JavaScript world. I haven't seen people using the word "compiled" in the community in 4 years. People typically say "browser-ready" or "minified" or "transpiled".

I'm glad we could work out your questions.

kinda? i started a few years ago and was only writing things by hand. eventually was made aware that there are tools to build JavaScript from much nicer-looking code, Like the Haxe compiler and VS:Code. I still have quite mixed feelings about using it to build entire programs, though. I am aware it's not "true" compilation... lol. Definitely heard permutations of "trans" + "piled" , as well. Just don't use them because I rarely see any reason to.

There is one totally pointless one I forgot multiple times now... what's the "umd" stand for in the filename?

and yes, thanks for the help.

UMD = Universal Module Definition

Used to expose code to different module systems

Alright

Well, I'll let you know if I have any other problems/questions Should be safe to close this now.
