TeaMacro

Using TeaMacro in your Javascript project, you could optimize code, support cross browser and support cross platform very easily. TeaMacro is macro language. This language works on ECMAScript(Javascript) execution environment. And it will work on CoffeeScript in future.

Usage

Document sample

(code.js)

    function log(s){
    // #teaos:if == DEPLOYMENT CLIENTSIDE
    	var logTag=$('log');
    	logTag.innerHTML+=satanise(s);
    /* #teaos:else
    	console.log(s);
       #teaos:endif */
    }
    
    function assert(s){
    //#teaos:if (== MODE DEBUG)
    	log(s);
    //#teaos:endif
    }
    
    function doCommand(cmd){
    // #teaos:if ! (defined DISABLE_MULTIPLE_COMMAND)
    	var cmds;
    	var length;
    	cmds=cmd.split(',');
    	length=cmds.length;
    	for(var i=0;i<length;i++){
    		execute(cmds[i]);
    	}
    /* #teaos:else
    	execute(cmd);
       #teaos:endif */
    }
    
    function getScreenType(context){
    /*#teaos:if (== SCREEN_SIZE SMALL_SIZE)
    	return 'small';
      #teaos:elseif (== SCREEN_SIZE NORMAL_SIZE)
    	return 'normal';
      #teaos:elseif (== SCREEN_SIZE BIG_SIZE)
    	return 'big';
      #teaos:else */
    	var sz=getScreenSize();
    	if(sz.width>context.params.longWidth){
    		return 'big';
    	}else if(sz.width<context.params.shortWidth){
    		return 'small';
    	}else {
    		return 'normal';
    	}
    //#teaos:endif
    }

Command Line

You can test your code without TeaMacro pre-processsor, because TeaMacro is described as the comment of ECMAScript. Having node.js environment, you can compile TeaMacro by using console command. The console command is described by the following form.

> node app.js -p <file path>

After installing TeaMacro in npm global scope, you can use teamacro command.

> npm install -g
> teamacro -p <file path>

Using pipeline, you can compile multiple file as a composited file, and store output data in file.

> cat tests/before.js tests/setting1.js tests/after.js tests/code.js | teamacro > tests/results/result1.js

Propose

Switch debug/release mode

(before.js)

// #teaos:define DEBUG 1
// #teaos:define RELEASE 2

(setting.js)

// #teaos:define MODE RELEASE

(after.js)

// #teaos:if (!defined MODE)
// #teaos:define MODE DEBUG
// #teaos:endif

(code.js)

    function assert(s){
    //#teaos:if (== MODE DEBUG)
    	var log=$('log');
    	log.innerHTML+=satanise(s);
    //#teaos:endif
    }

Switch Serverside/Clientside javascript

(before.js)

// #teaos:define SERVERSIDE 1
// #teaos:define CLIENTSIDE 2

(setting.js) user setting file

// #teaos:define DEPLOYMENT CLIENTSIDE

(after.js)

// #teaos:if (!defined DEPLOYMENT)
// #teaos:define DEPLOYMENT CLIENTSIDE
// #teaos:endif

(code.js)

    function log(s){
    //#teaos:if (== DEPLOYMENT CLIENTSIDE)
    	var log=$('log');
    	log.innerHTML+=satanise(s);
    /*#teaos:else
    	console.log(s);
      #teaos:endif */
    }

Switch Optimized code/General code

(setting.js) user setting file

// #teaos:define DISABLE_MULTIPLE_COMMAND

(code.js)

    function doCommand(cmd){
    // #teaos:if defined DISABLE_MULTIPLE_COMMAND
    	var cmds;
    	var length;
    	cmds=cmd.split(',');
    	length=cmds.length;
    	for(var i=0;i<length;i++){
    		execute(cmds[i]);
    	}
    // #teaos:else
    	execute(cmd);
    // #teaos:endif
    }

Support cross platform

(before.js)

// #teaos:define ANY_DEVICE 0
// #teaos:define IPHONE    1
// #teaos:define ANDROID   2
// #teaos:define CHROME    3

// #teaos:define SMALL_SIZE  1
// #teaos:define NORMAL_SIZE 2
// #teaos:define BIG_SIZE    3
// #teaos:define SCREEN_SIZE ANY_SIZE

(setting.js)

// #teaos:define DEVICE    IPAD

(after.js)

// #teaos:if (|| (== DEVICE IPHONE) (== DEVICE ANDROID))
//   #teaos:define SCREEN_SIZE  SMALL_SIZE
// #teaos:elseif (== DEVICE IPAD)
//   #teaos:define SCREEN_SIZE  NORMAL_SIZE

    function getScreenType(context){
    /*#teaos:if (== SCREEN_SIZE SMALL_SIZE)
    	return 'short';
      #teaos:elseif (== SCREEN_SIZE NORMAL_SIZE)
    	return 'normal';
      #teaos:elseif (== SCREEN_SIZE BIG_SIZE)
    	return 'long';
      #teaos:else */
    	var sz=getScreenSize();
    	if(sz.width>context.params.longWidth){
    		return 'long';
    	}else if(sz.width<context.params.longWidth){
    		return 'small';
    	}else {
    		return 'short';
    	}
    //#endif
    }

TeaMacro Syntax

Statement

"define" statement

"define" statement defines the parameter which is refered in another statement.

// #teaos:define DEBUG 1
// #teaos:define RELEASE 2
// #teaos:define MODE DEBUG

include/include_once statement [TBD]

"include" statement imports the specified file in the current document.

// #teaos:include <filepath>

"include_once" statement imports the specified file in the current document at once.

// #teaos:include_once <filepath>

if/elseif/endif statement

pattern:1

// #teaos:if <expression>
<active code>
/* #teaos:elseif <expression>
<inactive code>
#teaos:else
<inactive code>
#teaos:endif */

pattern:2

/* #teaos:if <expression>
<inactive code>
   #teaos:else */
<active code>
// #teaos:endif

pattern:3

/* #teaos:if <expression>
<inactive code>
   #teaos:else */
<active code>
// #teaos:endif

Expression

TeaMacro expression is like LISP.

'defined' expression

'defined' expression checks if the specified parameter is defined.

 (defined <parameter name> <parameter name> ...)

expression for composition (logical and / logical or / logical not)

'&&' expression caluculates logical and. '||' expression caluculates logical or.

(&& <expression> <expression> ...)
(|| <expression> <expression> ...)
(! <expression>)

expression for comparison

'==' expression check if left expression equals right expression. '!=' expression check if left expression doesn't equal right expression.

(== <expression> <expression>)
(!= <expression> <expression>)
