node-dyad v1.0.2
node-dyad
primitive language server for node
After getting into more Common Lisp programming, I've realized how nice it is to be able to evaluate files and functions and statements against a live environment, to test out functions and logic incrementally as I go.
There don't seem to be many options available for Node.JS to do this; I tried SwankJS but could not get it working. nodejs-repl.el looks promising! If it works it can replace this code (though this implementation allows any language capable of shelling out to enjoy node interaction too!)
This is a quick hack that gets you a minimal working node repl that you can also send code to.
Caveats
- you need to hit enter twice on the REPL after it starts for it to start working
- no autocompletion on the node REPL
Usage (cli)
npm install --global node-dyaddyad-server
Starts a node dyad server. Also acts as an interactive REPL.
echo '3 + 4' | dyad-client
Reads javascript code on standard input and sends it to the dyad server to be evaluated. Writes its result to standard out.
Usage (emacs)
dyad-start-server
Starts an async server process containing its own node environment, including an interactive REPL on stdin/stdout.
dyad-eval-current-defun
Evaluates the function the current point is in.
dyad-eval-buffer
Evaluates the entire current buffer.
dyad-run-code
Interactive: prompts you for JS code to be evaluated.
