Visibly transpile files feature [PLANNING ISSUE]

[icarito]

Currently Jappy compiles .pyj files tranparently and puts them in .index.html.

We should:

• Agree to put .pyj files under /src
• Document replicable compilation rules that work in browser and cli

Looks like others have thought of layers on top of RapydScript-NG. It would be wise to align with them!

https://github.com/jonschull/Lyte @jonschull I'm reading thru your project and got interested enough to install Python3.6!

I'd love to get aligned. (And have been meaning to write you too). Indeed, I'd appreciate help. Today's commit <https://github.com/jonschull/Lyte/commit/7d0c041f8f64626b106e910d3442b52709793a8e>successfully imports pure python files and runs them in the browser. (Needs a local server, but that's built in live preview in the Brackets and Atom editors.) However, imports fail because module doesn't exist in any of the import directories: __stdlib__" I believe you've solved this problem. Can you help me figure the solution?

Hi @jonschull sorry I took so long to respond. I am humbled others find the project useful.

I didn't really solve the importing issue, what I do is directly manipulate the file_data object within Rapydscript: https://github.com/somosazucar/Jappy/blob/master/webapp/js/code_editor.tag.html#L1187 - This solution is inadequate because it only works at the moment with files already open in the editor (not the ones in the filesystem).

Jappy has a way to access the local filesystem by exposing it over WebDAV. But it only exposes directories under ~/Workspace/ (if you add #somename to your URL, you'll be editing ~/Workspace/somename/ and the Folder icon will display a drop down menu with the files in the directory.

Currently this is limited in that we have not implemented a way to browse subdirectories and subtleties regarding URL base paths for relative links.

I did ask Kovid about how I should implement it and he provided a response at kovidgoyal/rapydscript-ng#114 . But I have'nt dug into this yet. Perhaps his pointer could help us have a universal import mechanism?

How are you exposing the filesystem? I really like the interface wsgidav offers.
Thanks again, glad to share enthusiasm!

I got it to work last night ​ ​ by looking at your patc h! See https://glitch.com/edit/#!/lyte-0-1 By the way, please let me know what the parameter before options{...} does. I modelled it on your "tag.title" , but it doesn't seem to do anything!

Hi @jonschull I had a read at your source code at https://glitch.com/edit/#!/lyte-0-1 and I am not sure.
I'm passing options to the create_embedded_compiler method and then just passing code to the resulting compiler object. I think compile(code, options) should be the function signature, from trying to understand Rapydscript source code. (tools/embedded_compiler.js).

With regard to importing I think this __stdlib__ mechanism is flexible but limited.
I'd like to try using a bundler such as https://github.com/CompuIves/codesandbox-client/tree/master/packages/sandpack or https://medium.com/@ericsimons/introducing-turbo-5x-faster-than-yarn-npm-and-runs-natively-in-browser-cc2c39715403 to import javascript modules. A preconfigured version of such bundler could take care of importing (loading/transpiling) the RapydScript code. This would simplify Jappy.

Do note that a key difference of RapydScript vs Python is that imports happen at compile time in RS, whereas Python does them dynamically.

I do think differences between .pyj and .py languages are too big to mask so I keep the two filenames different to avoid confusion.

There are other even more Pythonic transpilers, check out Transcrypt or Javascripthon (my favorite). Jappy uses RapydScript because we're interested in having the browser do the compilation. Both Transcrypt and Javascripthon have Python do the parsing and transpiling.

I think I have a working approach now. see https://glitch.com/edit/#!/lyte In the HTML file pyInstall compiles specified files and copies them into the virtual filesystem (as pyj). Although I had to tweak it for glitch A given project has an .html and .py of with the same root name. To create a new project rename the .html and creaet a new .py the .py file can then import any pyInstalled files it wants.
