Setup
Note: You could use the ready-to-use (pre-compiled) demos available
in the dist
folder, if you are not looking for any
customization. In that case, you can skip below setup steps.
We are using gulp which allows to have complete automation for build flow. In case if you don't know - Gulp is a toolkit for automating painful or time-consuming tasks in development workflow, so you can stop messing around and build something. You can read it more about it here. Please follow below steps to install and setup all prerequisites:
