Re: [Pharo-users] PharoJS

[Torsten Bergmann]

Hi Noury,

 

thanks for the feedback. For windows to open a URL one can use:

 

  NBWin32Shell shellOpen: 'http://www.google.de'

 

I adopted the 

 

  startJavaScriptInterpreter
   |url|
    url := 'http://localhost:', self port asString.
    Smalltalk os isWindows ifTrue: [ ^NBWin32Shell shellOpen: url ].
    OSProcess command: 'open ', url

 

and run 

    workspace := JbWorkspaceForWeb open.

 

It basically runs (still throwing some Zinc errors - but I can push some eval scripts to the browser

(Chrome). No time today to look deeper today.

 

Please add me as a contributor so I can provide the fix/fixes or make the repo public (if possible).

 

Thanks

T.

Hi Torsten,

 

Thanks for the feedback. 

I have been pushed to make it public right before ESUG. 

I'm trying my best to make it clean and documented. 

 

If you are using a Mac, the examples I provide on http://car.mines-douai.fr/pharojs/ should work out of the box.

 

For other platforms (Windows & Linux) I need the command line to open a web browser on a specific URL.

Any hint?

 

Regarding the naming PharoJS is more than a bridge. It allows:

-Develop and test apps in Pharo

-Generate a _javascript_ file for a standalone app

What is PharoJS ? Are you talking about Pharo on top of the Bert's SqueakJS VM ?
If so, it starts, but some primitives fail making it freeze after a short
while as you describe.
It would be fun to have it running even though most of the Pharo folks went
into the Amber direction for Pharo on _javascript_.

Yes there is SqueakJS from Bert https://bertfreudenberg.github.io/SqueakJS/
and I would have expected "PharoJS" to be the same for Pharo.

At least I would "reserve" the name for the case Pharo images work on it
as well.


Unfortunately Noury Bouraqadi now took this "PharoJS" name for his
Pharo -> _javascript_ compiler

  http://car.mines-douai.fr/2015/07/develop-in-pharo-run-on-_javascript_/

leading a little bit to this confusion.

I would have called the project "Pharo _javascript_Bridge" like the config and the
repo http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~noury/_javascript_Bridge

I loaded the config from the SmalltalkHub repo and then:

  ConfigurationOfJavaScriptBridge loadBleedingEdge

tried JbClientControllerBridge startOn:80

but were hit by several errors.

In my opinion a minimal HOWTO would be required.

Thanks
Torsten
