Ramda Repl

A repl (read-eval-print-loop) for Ramda

---

Usage

dist/bundle.js will expose a global function called ramdaRepl.

ramdaRepl is applied to two arguments (details to follow) and will immediately attempt to instantiate itself in the DOM.

An example with all the configuration options set is available here.

ramdaRepl(target, config)

target

target is a reference to a DOM Node, such as you would get from document.querySelector:

var target = document.querySelector('#my-text-area');

RamdaREPL will do the following operations with respect to the target DOM Node:

• it will hide the target node
• it will add itself to the DOM as a sibling to the target node
• it will look for text within the target node and will prefill the input panel with this text (this can be overridden by the config)

config

config is a regular JavaScript object.

Key	Required	Type	Description	Example
apiURL	Yes	String	A path to a Google url-shortener service endpoint - this will require a specific API key, details here	"https://www.googleapis.com/urlshortener/v1/url?key=APIKEY"
returnUrl	Yes	String	A URL (minus query string) that will be used with the url-shortening service to indicate where a sharable link will take user-agents. The current query string will be appended to this. This idea here is that you can have a REPL at http://your-ramda-repl.com#code and have the share feature redirect to http://ramdajs.com/repl#code should you wish.	"http://ramdajs.com/repl/"
initialValue	No	String	Used to provide the initial code in the input panel. It overrides the default behaviour, which is to use the content of the target element.	"identity(1)"
onChange	No	Function	This is called with the pre-compiled text from the input window whenever this text is changed. This can be used for updating the URL with a new query string, for example.	(code) => window.location.hash = URI.encode(code)
ramdaScript	Yes	Object - see below	A script description object used to defined where Ramda is sourced and how it is globally exposed	{ src : "//cdn.jsdelivr.net/ramda/latest/ramda.min.js", global : "R" }
scripts	No	Array of Objects - see below	A list of script description objects used to defined where other interesting libraries are sourced and how they are globally exposed	[ { src :'//wzrd.in/standalone/sanctuary@latest', global : 'sanctuary', exposeAs : 'S' } ]

The keys ramdaScript and scripts are used to organise the dynamically loaded scripts that will be available to the REPL, such as Ramda, Sanctuary, and Ramda-Fantasy. Ramda is loaded first, as it is presumed that the other libraries will require it to be present before they can be included.

Organising the scripts includes providing a reference to a URL where the script can be sourced - and adding in an optional configuration for how globals will be made available.

How the dynamically loaded scripts are made available can be defined using objects with the following keys:

Key	Required	Type	Description	Example
src	Yes	String	A URL referencing a JavaScript file	"//cdn.jsdelivr.net/ramda/latest/ramda.min.js"
global	Yes if exposeAs or expose are used	String	A name of a global the script will introduce	"R"
exposeAs	No	String	The name of a global that will act as an alias to the global introduced by the script	"RAMDA"
expose	No	Array of Strings	A list of method names on the global that you wish to expose globally. Given this list is not provided all methods found on the global will be exposed	[ "identity", "map", "filter" ]

Development

You will find a collection of npm run * scripts in package.json:

To run a simple server that will host the example/index.html file:

npm run server

This will start serving the repl at localhost:8080/example

To build the JavaScript bundle:

npm run build-js

To build the CSS bundle:

npm run build-css

Watch modes

To build the JavaScript bundle when files change (with sourcemap support):

npm run watch-js

To build the CSS bundle when files change:

npm run watch-css

To watch both:

npm run watch

Testing / Linting

To run tests:

npm test

To lint the JavaScript:

npm run lint

Minification

The CSS is quite small and is minified while it is built.

The JavaScript is not minified by npm run build-js or npm run watch-js so those operations can run a little faster.

To minify the JavaScript:

npm run minify
