Need help running demos under Webstorm

[richard-steiger]

Introduction

Noobie here: am trying to run various demos under Webstorm's debugger, which is unable to start any demos, e.g. KitchenSink, since "window" is undefined. I'd also be happy trying this on VsCode, but need to get over the initial hump, since index.js doesn't have any imports.

Steps to reproduce

In Webstorm, open the KitchenSink/JS project, click Run.

Does your question relate to JointJS or JointJS+. Select both if applicable.

Hello, thank you for reaching out!

While I don’t personally use WebStorm, I can confirm that running the applications included in the JointJS+ package, such as the KitchenSink demo, can be done easily from the terminal. You can still use WebStorm (or any IDE) for editing and inspecting the code.

Here are the steps to get the application up and running:

1. Open your terminal.
2. Navigate to the directory of the desired demo application.
3. Install the dependencies (if you haven’t already)

npm install

4. Start the application using the script defined in the package.json (that would be start for KitchenSink/Js):

npm run start

Once run, the application should open in your default browser. Let me know if you run into any issues or have additional questions.
