SoundCloud JavaScript SDK

Introduction

The SoundCloud JavaScript SDK lets you easily integrate SoundCloud into your website or web app.

In most cases it's highly recommended that you use the hosted version from http://connect.soundcloud.com/sdk.js in your website. This README provides development-related information.

Dependencies

• npm
• • coffee-script
• • uglify-js
• • jslint

Development

To check out the repository locally and initialize all submodules in vendor/, run:

$ git clone [email protected]:soundcloud/soundcloud-javascript.git
$ cd soundcloud-javascript
$ git submodule update --init
$ npm install

To build the release version in build/, just run:

$ make build

To run the tests or use sdk.js, run this from either the top level of your repo or build/:

$ bin/server

The file sdk.js will automatically compile all coffeescript files in src/ on the fly when loaded. For sdk.js to work it must be accessed from http://connect.soundcloud.dev instead of http://localhost:9090.

Testing

To run the tests, just start an HTTP server in the project root and navigate to http://yourhost/test/test.html. In development mode the tests will automatically compile the coffeescript on each reload. In build mode the tests will load the compiled sdk.js.
