jsx-linker

Synopsis

JSX postprocessor to support various environments.

Motivation

JavaScript is an infrastructure language for many environments (like SQL, Lua, Visual Basic etc...). Each environment uses a different code structure and assumptions because JavaScript doesn't have a standard module system or entry points.

This program converts the resulting code of JSX into the environment specific code.

Supported Output

You can select the output format with -t option. This tool supports the following output formats:

commonjs-lib, amd-lib, export-global

Add exports or define statements. export-global exports classes to global namespace. The classes that have an __export__ qualifier are exported.

Your Library

__export__ class Fib {
    static function calc(value : int) : int {
        // some code;
    }
}

Client Code

var Fib = require('fib').Fib;
Fib.calc(value);

extjs-app (experimental)

It supports config parameter, entry point function (main), and callback funcion for updating (onUpdate):

class _Main
{
    static const config = {
        name: 'sencha-touch-app',
        icon: {
            '57': 'resources/icons/Icon.png',
            '72': 'resources/icons/Icon~ipad.png',
            '114': 'resources/icons/[email protected]',
            '144': 'resources/icons/[email protected]'
        },
        isIconPrecomposed: true,
        startupImage: {
            '320x460': 'resources/startup/320x460.jpg',
            '640x920': 'resources/startup/640x920.png',
            '768x1004': 'resources/startup/768x1004.png',
            '748x1024': 'resources/startup/748x1024.png',
            '1536x2008': 'resources/startup/1536x2008.png',
            '1496x2048': 'resources/startup/1496x2048.png'
        },
        requires: [
            'Ext.MessageBox'
        ],
        views: [] : string[]
    };

    static function main (argv : string[]) : void
    {
        // Destroy the #appLoadingIndicator element
        Ext.fly('appLoadingIndicator').destroy();
        // Initialize the main view
        var view = new MainView();
        Ext.Viewport.add(view as Ext.Component);
    }

    static function onUpdate () : void
    {
        Ext.Msg.confirm(
            "Application Update",
            "This application has just successfully been updated to the latest version. Reload now?",
            (buttonId, value, opt) -> {
                if (buttonId == 'yes') {
                    dom.window.location.reload();
                }
            }
        );
    }
}

WebWorker

import "js/web.jsx";
import "webworker.jsx";

class _Main
{
    static function main(argv : string[]) : void
    {
        // called when this worker is initialized
    }

    __export static function onmessage(event : MessageEvent) : void
    {
        // called when `postMessage` is called from main script
        self.postMessage("message");
    }
}

ngCore

import "ngcore.jsx";

class _Main
{
    static var game : Game;
    static var hud : DebugControl;

    static function main (argv : string[]) : void
    {
        var glView = new UI.GLView();
        glView.setOpenGLESVersion(UI.Commands.OpenGLESVersion.OpenGLES2);

        var w = Core.Capabilities.getScreenWidth();
        var h = Core.Capabilities.getScreenHeight();

        glView.onload = function() {
            _Main.hud = new DebugControl(glView);
            Core.UpdateEmitter.setTickRate(1/60);
            _Main.game = new Game();
            _Main.game.start();
        };

        glView.setAttribute('frame', [0, 0, w, h]);
        glView.setAttribute('active', true);
    }
}
