Nyxx can't be used in the web about nyxx HOT 8 CLOSED

We are not supporting browser as a target since it requires a lot of additional workarounds and maintenance for it to work. You can use it on flutter with android target and on cli just fine.

@RandomModderJDK this looks more like a compiler bug than something on our end. Either way we do not support js as a target, as l7ssha said.

Why does nyxx even use components that are not functional in the web. The discord api doesnt benefit from platform specific features in particular except from audio features.

What would be needed to make it completely platform independent?

from nyxx.

Nyxx uses isolates to implement sharding, as recommended by discord, and dart:io in several places to implement helpers. We also use dart:io in the isolates to speed up decoding.

If you really want to run nyxx in the web, I can patch these out and push them to my fork that you can use from a git dependency. We will not be merging these changes, or any changes aimed only at adding web support to this repository as it complicated several aspects of the code, would probably be breaking, adds dependencies on other packages and isn't something we recommend doing anyway.

That would be really kind of you

Alright, I've made the necessary changes.

I really don't recommend using it because it disables several features (including the IgnoreExceptions and CliIntegration plugins) and restricts other parts of the API (e.g transport compression can't be used, so you'll have to choose something else when connecting to the API). Additionally I had to route all requests through a CORS proxy because Discord, sensibly, doesn't manage CORS on their API which makes browsers unable to use it.

The proxy is hosted on a cloudflare worker, and I'm making no guarantees as to its stability or longevity. If it goes down, nyxx won't be able to contact the Discord API and your application will stop working. I really recommend you change this and use your own proxy that you host - and if you can do that, why not just run nyxx on that server?

Anyway, with all that said, the code can be found here and depended on using a git dependency targeting https://github.com/abitofevrything/nyxx and ref: hack/web-support.
