Box Execute
What Is Box-Execute?
Box execute is an npm package to compile/run codes (c,cpp,pyhton) in a virtualized environment, Here virtualized environment used is a docker container. This packages is built to ease the task of running a code against test cases as done by websites used to practice algorithmic coding.
Using Box-Execute
npm i box-execLook For Examples
Box-Execute Structure
Language supported by Box-Execute are:
- c
- cpp
- python 2
- python 3
NOTE: Language support is to be extended.
For each language supported a docker container is present in which all the codes are executed to get the output.
Under the hood
Box-Execute utilises staging architecture in order to run a code an get the output.
- Stage One:
Container for a particular language is checked for it's status and in case of container "absence" or "not running status" container is started or restarted based on the container status.
NOTE: This stage is executed in all conditions.
- Stage Two
Source code file is copied in the running container.
NOTE: This stage is executed in all conditions.
- Stage Three
This stage is only executed in case when source code file is "C" or "CPP" file. Used for compiling C/CPP code.
NOTE: This stage is executed only when source code file is in C/CPP
- Stage Four
This is the final stage where code is executed to get the output. Streams are used to write data to STDIN.
NOTE: This stage is executed in all conditions.
