## Usage (as a npm dependency)
*Note:* Requires Prebid.js v1.38.0+
Prebid.js depends on Babel and some Babel Plugins in order to run correctly in the browser. Here are some examples for
configuring webpack to work with Prebid.js.
With Babel 7:
```javascript
// webpack.conf.js
let path = require('path');
module.exports = {
mode: 'production',
module: {
rules: [
// this rule can be excluded if you don't require babel-loader for your other application files
{
test: /\.m?js$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
use: {
loader: 'babel-loader',
}
},
// this separate rule is required to make sure that the Prebid.js files are babel-ified. this rule will
// override the regular exclusion from above (for being inside node_modules).
{
test: /.js$/,
include: new RegExp(`\\${path.sep}prebid\\.js`),
use: {
loader: 'babel-loader',
// presets and plugins for Prebid.js must be manually specified separate from your other babel rule.
// this can be accomplished by requiring prebid's .babelrc.js file (requires Babel 7 and Node v8.9.0+)
options: require('prebid.js/.babelrc.js')
}
}
]
}
}
```
Or for Babel 6:
```javascript
// you must manually install and specify the presets and plugins yourself
options: {
plugins: [
"transform-object-assign", // required (for IE support) and "babel-plugin-transform-object-assign"
// must be installed as part of your package.
require('prebid.js/plugins/pbjsGlobals.js') // required!
],
presets: [
["env", { // you can use other presets if you wish.
"targets": { // this example is using "babel-presets-env", which must be installed if you
"browsers": [ // follow this example.
... // your browser targets. they should probably match the targets you're using for the rest
// of your application
]
}
}]
]
}
```
Then you can use Prebid.js as any other npm depedendency
```javascript
import pbjs from 'prebid.js';
import 'prebid.js/modules/rubiconBidAdapter'; // imported modules will register themselves automatically with prebid
import 'prebid.js/modules/appnexusBidAdapter';
pbjs.processQueue(); // required to process existing pbjs.queue blocks and setup any further pbjs.queue execution
pbjs.requestBids({
...
})
```
<a name="Install"></a>
## Install
$ git clone https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js.git
$ cd Prebid.js
$ npm ci
*Note:* You need to have `NodeJS` 12.16.1 or greater installed.
*Note:* In the 1.24.0 release of Prebid.js we have transitioned to using gulp 4.0 from using gulp 3.9.1. To comply with gulp's recommended setup for 4.0, you'll need to have `gulp-cli` installed globally prior to running the general `npm ci`. This shouldn't impact any other projects you may work on that use an earlier version of gulp in its setup.
If you have a previous version of `gulp` installed globally, you'll need to remove it before installing `gulp-cli`. You can check if this is installed by running `gulp -v` and seeing the version that's listed in the `CLI` field of the output. If you have the `gulp` package installed globally, it's likely the same version that you'll see in the `Local` field. If you already have `gulp-cli` installed, it should be a lower major version (it's at version `2.0.1` at the time of the transition).
To remove the old package, you can use the command: `npm rm gulp -g`
Once setup, run the following command to globally install the `gulp-cli` package: `npm install gulp-cli -g`

## Build for Development
To build the project on your local machine, run:
$ gulp serve
This runs some code quality checks, starts a web server at `http://localhost:9999` serving from the project root and generates the following files:
+ `./build/dev/prebid.js` - Full source code for dev and debug
+ `./build/dev/prebid.js.map` - Source map for dev and debug
+ `./build/dist/prebid.js` - Minified production code
+ `./prebid.js_<version>.zip` - Distributable zip archive
### Build Optimization
The standard build output contains all the available modules from within the `modules` folder. Note, however that there are bid adapters which support multiple bidders through aliases, so if you don't see a file in modules for a bid adapter, you may need to grep the repository to find the name of the module you need to include.
You might want to exclude some/most of them from the final bundle. To make sure the build only includes the modules you want, you can specify the modules to be included with the `--modules` CLI argument.
For example, when running the serve command: `gulp serve --modules=openxBidAdapter,rubiconBidAdapter,sovrnBidAdapter`
Building with just these adapters will result in a smaller bundle which should allow your pages to load faster.
**Build standalone prebid.js**
- Clone the repo, run `npm install`
- Then run the build:
$ gulp build --modules=openxBidAdapter,rubiconBidAdapter,sovrnBidAdapter
Alternatively, a `.json` file can be specified that contains a list of modules you would like to include.
$ gulp build --modules=modules.json
With `modules.json` containing the following
```json modules.json
[
"openxBidAdapter",
"rubiconBidAdapter",
"sovrnBidAdapter"
]
```
**Build prebid.js using npm for bundling**
In case you'd like to explicitly show that your project uses `prebid.js` and want a reproducible build, consider adding it as an `npm` dependency.
- Add `prebid.js` as a `npm` dependency of your project: `npm install prebid.js`
- Run the `prebid.js` build under the `node_modules/prebid.js/` folder
$ gulp build --modules=path/to/your/list-of-modules.json
Most likely your custom `prebid.js` will only change when there's:
- A change in your list of modules
- A new release of `prebid.js`
Having said that, you are probably safe to check your custom bundle into your project. You can also generate it in your build process.
<a name="Run"></a>
## Test locally
To lint the code:
```bash
gulp lint
```
To run the unit tests:
```bash
gulp test
```
To run the unit tests for a particular file (example for pubmaticBidAdapter_spec.js):
```bash
gulp test --file "test/spec/modules/pubmaticBidAdapter_spec.js"
```
To generate and view the code coverage reports:
```bash
gulp test-coverage
gulp view-coverage
```
For Prebid.org members with access to BrowserStack, additional end-to-end testing can be done with:
```bash
gulp e2e-test --host=test.localhost
```
To run these tests, the following items are required:
- setup an alias of localhost in your `hosts` file (eg `127.0.0.1 test.localhost`); note - you can use any alias. Use this alias in the command-line argument above.
- access to [BrowserStack](https://www.browserstack.com/) account. Assign the following variables in your bash_profile:
```bash
export BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME='YourUserNameHere'
export BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY='YourAccessKeyHere'
```
You can get these BrowserStack values from your profile page.
For development:
```javascript
(function() {
var d = document, pbs = d.createElement('script'), pro = d.location.protocol;
pbs.type = 'text/javascript';
pbs.src = ((pro === 'https:') ? 'https' : 'http') + './build/dev/prebid.js';
var target = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
target.insertBefore(pbs, target.firstChild);
})();
```
For deployment:
```javascript
(function() {
var d = document, pbs = d.createElement('script'), pro = d.location.protocol;
pbs.type = 'text/javascript';
pbs.src = ((pro === 'https:') ? 'https' : 'http') + './build/dist/prebid.js';
var target = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
target.insertBefore(pbs, target.firstChild);
})();
```
Build and run the project locally with:
```bash
gulp serve
```
This runs `lint` and `test`, then starts a web server at `http://localhost:9999` serving from the project root.
Navigate to your example implementation to test, and if your `prebid.js` file is sourced from the `./build/dev`
directory you will have sourcemaps available in your browser's developer tools.
To run the example file, go to:
+ `http://localhost:9999/integrationExamples/gpt/hello_world.html`
As you make code changes, the bundles will be rebuilt and the page reloaded automatically.
