wex's Introduction

Wex

Wex is an IEx-like utility that runs code in the browser.

This gives us some interesting possibilities: popup windows for help, asynchronous output, continuous compilation with errors and warnings flagged in the source, and so on.

This is at best a prototype, so tread lightly. But, if you feel like contributing, there is a list of things to do on the issues page.

To run Wex:

git clone https://github.com/pragdave/wex.git
cd wex
bower install
mix deps.get
mix run --no-halt
Browse to localhost:8080/index.html

Enjoy

Create an Elixir mode the the Ace editor

Wex uses Ace as the in-browser editor.

We need to create an Elixir mode so that we get syntax highlighting and folding.

gitignoring priv/scripts also ignores priv/scripts/ours

and I think priv/scripts/ours should be commited:

  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/util.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/wex_event.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/readline.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/eval.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/help.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/ws_driver.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/rest_driver.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/windows.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/editor_file_list.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/editor_file_list_view.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/compiler.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/editor.js"></script>

  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/files.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/files/dir.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/files/dir_list.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/files/dir_view.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/files/file.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/files/file_loader.js"></script>


  <script type="text/javascript" 
          src="/scripts/ours/main.js"></script>

Get the supervision tree right

The server side of Wex has a pretty ad hoc supervision structure.

To some extend, I felt hamstrung by the need for servers to have the pids of other servers—that means I have to start things in a certain order, and I have to start things only from within other servers. (For example, the web services server actually starts the eval and help server supervisor inline, because those two servers need the web services pid to send asynchronous messages).

Anyway, it's a bit of a mess. I'd love someone who understands how to structure these things to have a go at it.
