Marc Durdin 4af39a58b0 docs: start consolidation of build config docs
As the build environment documentation is duplicated across each of the
Keyman platform projects, it has become somewhat convoluted and
inconsistent. This PR moves all the mac-based and shared documentation
into docs/build, with placeholders for Windows and Linux documentation
to be moved in the next PR.

The idea is that a developer can configure their box to build any of the
available projects for that platform (web and android build on all three
main dev platforms).

Keeping the build documentation in one place makes it much simpler to
keep it consistent and up-to-date as well, as well as keeping us aware
of potential dependency conflicts between projects.

The icing on the cake is the resources/devbox/macos/macos.sh script,
which I have tested and takes a bare metal mac box through to a full
Keyman development environment (except XCode, there's always something!)

Keyman Web

The Original Code is (C) SIL International

Prerequisites

See build configuration for details on how to configure your build environment.


The following folders contain the distribution for KeymanWeb:

source                      Source code
sources/resources/osk       OSK resources for inclusion in mobile app builds;
                            keymanweb-osk.ttf is maintained at https://github.com/silnrsi/font-keymanweb-osk
unit_tests                  Automated testing resources

intermediate    	Intermediate compiled code; TypeScript source is compiled here before it is minified.
release/web			Fully-compiled KeymanWeb modules for testing
release/embedded	Fully-compiled KMEA/KMEI modules for inclusion in mobile app builds
release/unminified/web       Fully-compiled but non-minified KeymanWeb modules
release/unminified/embedded  Fully-compiled KMEA/KMEI modules for inclusion in mobile app builds

samples				Sample pages demonstrating ways to link with KeymanWeb
testing     		Test-case web-pages for various aspects of KeymanWeb functionality
unit_tests			A Node-driven test suite for automated testing of KeymanWeb

Usage

Open index.html or samples/index.html in your browser. Be sure to compile KeymanWeb before viewing the pages.

Refer to the samples for usage details.

To view pages using compiled KeymanWeb,

  1. cd to keyman/web/source
  2. Run ./build.sh

build.sh options:

  • -ui
    • to compile desktop user interface modules to output folder
  • -test
    • to compile for testing without copying resources or updating the saved version number.
  • -embed
    • to compile only the KMEA/KMEI embedded engine.
  • -web
    • to compile only the KeymanWeb engine.
  • -debug_embedded
    • to compile a readable version of the embedded KMEA/KMEI code
  • -no_minify
    • to disable the minified '/release/web' and '/release/embedded' build sections.
    • the '/release/unminified/web' and '/release/unminified/embedded' folders will still be built.
  • -clean
    • to erase pre-existing build products before the build.

If more than one target is specified, the last one will take precedence.

Unit Testing

Before running unit tests on KeymanWeb, first run ./build.sh according to the instructions above.

Once the build is complete, running npm test will run the unit testing suite on your local machine in-browser. Alternatively, see unit_tests/test.sh, which the former command executes.
