ronenness / adder Goto Github PK

Love this project, it looks like it could be perfect for my needs.

I read through the docs and I couldn't find an answer to the question I have.

Is it possible, and if so how would one go about doing so, for a user script to define a function and for that function to be executed externally in Node.js.

For example, could I have an adder script like so:

# Click handler
def onClick():
    print("Clicked");

And then call that function from Node.js:

// Call event handler
program.execute("onClick");

Or something along those lines?
I couldn't find anything in the docs about this.
Thanks for the help!

Hey hey ^^

Very nice thing you've created here! One question though:

• Is the compilation step in the numbers of the performance tests included or is it only the execution of the build?
  (My backend will probably be Elixir and i am wondering if I could speed up the execution by caching the build step ^^)

Thx for your feedback in advance and toodaloo ;)

I think this project is amazing and probably the best there is out there in terms of client-side sandboxes, but I think there are a couple of things holding it back.

One of the main problems I've noticed is the lack of shorthand list/dictionary initialization and access, which could make the creation and access much easier.

old_list = list(0,1,2)
old_dict = dict()
old_dict.set("a", 0)
old_dict.set("b", 1)
old_dict.set("c", 2)

print(old_list.at(1))
print(old_dict.get("b"))

# Would look much better like

new_list = [0,1,2]
new_dict = {"a":0, "b": 1, "c":2}

print(new_list[1])
print(new_dict["b"])

But the real dealbreaker for me was that there is no built-in way of creating classes/modules. Something like the python class initializer would be very helpful to organize complex code.

Are there any plans for improving the syntax?
Thanks in advance

if (typeof window !== undefined) {
    window.AdderScript = adder;
};

should be typeof window !== "undefined"

this is causing the module to not work under node for me.
