WDL Parser/Visualizer limitations
The following WDL features, that require more specific parsing or visualization, are not supported at the moment:
Contribution
Ensure that the latest git (e.g Git For Windows) and Node.js v6 LTS are installed. You're also encouraged to use Yarn package manager to guarantee that package versions are consistent across all build machines. Gulp.js v3 is used as a build framework.
# grab the project
git clone https://github.com/epam/pipeline-builder.git
# install necessary Node.js modules
cd pipeline-builder
yarn global add gulp-cli
yarn install
# test and build everything
gulp
# or just start webpack development server with live reload
gulp serve
