Using in node.js or io.js

Get it running

You can use WebChimera.js easily with node.js, but when installing webchimera.js the default runtime is nw.js. To build for node.js, you have to run:

cd node_modules/webchimera.js
export npm_config_wcjs_runtime="node"
export npm_config_wcjs_runtime_version="0.12.2" # or your node.js version
npm install

WARNING: Currently we have a critical bug with Node.js where initiating WebChimera.js for Node.js, see this issue for a workaround.

Quirks

In node.js, by default the player object will be garbage collected, even if .onFrameReady, .onFrameSetup or other callbacks are assigned. To work around this, use

global.player = player

Or reference it somewhere else.
