StaticScript

StaticScript is a static transpiler for ewwii. It efficiently transpiles sts files to rhai files.

Just as the name suggests, it is a static transpiler and does not support complex things like if/else, for/while, variable definition, et cetera yet. It is made only for beginners to create a simple configuration quickly and easily.

Installation

You can install StaticScript with ewwii's package manager, eiipm.

eiipm i staticscript

This command will install the stsc binary which is the StaticScript Compiler.

Usage

You use the stsc (staticscript compiler) binary to transpile .sts files to .rhai files. You use the --transpile argument to transpile .sts files.

Example use:

# long form
stsc --transpile ./file1.sts ./path/to/file2.sts --out ./output_dir/

# short form
stsc -t ./file1.sts ./path/to/file2.sts -o ./output_dir/

The transpiled code does not have whitespaces which may make it unredable. Staticscript provides a simple experimental formatter that follows the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle. You can make the transpiled code be formatted by using the --format (or -f) flag.

Example:

# long form
stsc --transpile ./file.sts--out ./output_dir/ --format

# short form
stsc -t ./file.sts -o ./output_dir/ -f

Example

Here is a simple example of using sts:

widget "widget1" {
  box {
    class: "widget1"
    orientation: "h"
    space_evenly: true
    hexpand: true
    spacing: 5
  } {
      label {
        text: "Hello Ewwii!"
      }

      slider {
        min: 0
        max: 101
        value: volume
        onchange: "echo hi! you just triggered the slider"
        dyn_id: "vol"
      }

      button {
        text: "greet"
        onclick: "notify-send 'hello there!'"
      }

      checkbox {
        class: "chckbox"
      }
  }
}

window "main_window" {
  monitor: 0
  windowtype: "dock"
  geometry: { x: 0 y: 0 width: 10 height: 20 }
} "widget1"
