Supported Browsers

ActiveUI is compatible with:

  • Chrome >= 33
  • Firefox >= 29
  • Edge >= 12
  • IE >= 11

Note: To work in all of these browsers you will have to install and use these polyfills:

import 'core-js/stable';
import 'regenerator-runtime/runtime';
import 'resize-observer-polyfill/dist/ResizeObserver.global';
import 'whatwg-fetch';

We currently use these versions:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "core-js": "3.0.1",
    "regenerator-runtime": "0.13.2",
    "resize-observer-polyfill": "1.5.1",
    "whatwg-fetch": "3.0.0"
  }
}

Node.js

You will need to install Node.js to develop ActiveUI applications.

While ActiveUI SDK doesn't impose any constraints on the versions of Node.js, you will probably be working on an application powered by Create React App. Therefore you should check their requirements.

Yarn (npm alternative)

We recommend using Yarn instead of npm.

Any command using npm in the following pages can be replaced by an equivalent command with the package manager of your choice.

Linting and Formatting

To avoid common JavaScript pitfalls and to prevent time-consuming formatting of code, we strongly advise that you set up ESLint (with a strong configuration) and Prettier in your project.

IDE / Editor

We recommend using VSCode or WebStorm when developing ActiveUI applications.

Visual Studio Code
