Project goals

  1. Browser compatibility - lux.js runs and gathers basic metrics in every browser that supports ES3, while still gathering modern metrics from evergreen browsers.
  2. Small size - lux.js aims to be under 10 KB when minified and compressed.
  3. Low overhead - lux.js creates only a handful of event handlers and observers. Most metrics are calculated on-demand before a beacon is sent.

Local development

  • Compile the lux.js script with npm run build or npm run watch
  • Run the tests with npm run test
  • Check for linting errors with npm run lint and automatically fix them (where possible) with npm run lint-fix
