Foxbase Extension Builder

This library aims to help foxbase users to use 3rd-party JS code and run it in a NodeJS environment. It uses Babel and Rollup to create a ready-to-use JS code string.

Usage

You can use the builder from an object codebase, or directly clone a public git repo. If there is a package.json file, the main field will be used as entrypoint. As default entrypoint, the builder will use index.js file.

You can import code from others npm packages, they'll be automatically downloaded and used.

Object codebase

This object represents a codebase, like a folder :

import { Builder } from "@foxbase/extensions";

const files = {
  "index.js": `import moment from 'moment';
import DateFormatter from './src/DateFormatter';

export default {
    currentDate: DateFormatter.format(moment())
};`,
  "src/DateFormatter.js": `export default class DateFormatter {
    static format(momentObj) {
        return momentObj.format();
    }
}`,
};

Builder.build(files).then((code) => {
  const ret = eval(code);
  console.log(ret.currentDate);
});

Clone from public git repo

import { Builder } from "@foxbase/extensions";

Builder.buildFromGit("https://github.com/vuejs/vue.git").then((code) => {
  // Do what you want
});
