How to test locally

1. Clone this repository and check out the desired branch.
2. Edit this couple of lines at the beginning of behaviour.js to use your own API key (and, optionally, to enable debugging, so that useful messages are printed on the JavaScript console of your browser).
3. Serve the page (index.html and related resources) locally, setting up your web server appropriately.
4. Use Unitas by visiting http://localhost/unitas/ (assuming that's where it's being served). As all items are inter-linked, you can start anywhere and pretty much navigate your way to any other valid page in the system. But the root page / is a useful entry point.

About the API key

⚠️ the W3C API key embedded in this project will work from the domain w3c.github.io only, as it is for demonstration purposes on GitHub pages. Make sure you replace it with your own API to use it with localhost:// or other origins.

Dependencies

Resources are loaded this way:

• index.html
  • CSS https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.css
  • CSS style.css
  • JS https://requirejs.org/docs/release/2.3.3/comments/require.js
    • JS behaviour.js
      • JS https://w3c.github.io/node-w3capi/lib/w3capi.js
      • JS https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.4.js
      • JS https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.js
      • JS utils.js

This cascading is far from optimal, of course. It is useful during development and for debugging, though.

In production, resources will be concatenated and loaded in parallel, and minified/compressed versions of CSS/JS libraries will be used instead.
