This is a test repo to see what it would take to build only the NeuralNetwork feature of the ml5 library.
This build uses node version 18.15.0 and npm version. Install nvm and run the following commands：
nvm install 18.15
nvm use 18
To build the library, run the following commands:
cd package
npm install
npm run build
This will create the build in the dist folder.
Open test/index.html in the browser to see the build running an example from the ml5 website.
I am building the library using Webpack, which was installed with:
npm install --save-dev webpack webpack cli
I also created package.json using npm init and set up a basic config file for a library build named webpack.config.js. I configured package.json so I could run webpack with npm run build.
From the original ml5 library's src folder, I copied over all source files from the NeuralNetwork directory and necessary dependency files from utils directory. I also copied over index.js from the src folder and deleted everything unrelated to NeuralNetwork. I then installed @tensorflow/tfjs@4.2.0, @tensorflow/tfjs-vis@1.5.1, and axios@1.3.4 with npm.
At this point, the library can be built without error. I was only getting an error about exceeding recommended size limit. For the build, I am using the latest version of node, npm, and tfjs. I have not tested all the features of NeuralNetwork, but it appears to be working just fine.
