Development Setup

You will need Node.js version 10+

After cloning the repo, run:

# install all the dependencies
npm i

Commonly used NPM scripts

# watch and auto re-build code into dist
$ npm run dev

# watch and auto re-build code for online ide
$ npm run dev:site

# directly run and test cli without building
$ npm run cli

# build all dist files, including npm packages
$ npm run build

# run the full test suite, including linting/type checking
$ npm test

There are some other scripts available in the scripts section of the package.json file.

Please make sure to have this pass successfully before submitting a PR. Although the same tests will be run against your PR on the CI server, it is better to have it working locally.

Project Structure

• tools: contains build-related scripts and configuration files. Usually, you don't need to touch them.

• dist: contains built files for distribution.

• typings: contains type declarations for Typescript. These declarations are generated alongside with building. Usually, you don't need to worry about them either.

• test: contains all tests. The unit tests are written with Jest. Refer to this Section for more details.

• static: contains files of the Online IDE and website.

• examples: contains examples contributed by the community. They will also be bundled into the Online IDE.

• site: the legacy website files. Using to redirect to the new one.

• lib: contains the Standard Libraries. The subfolders are for language-specified codes.

• documentation: the legacy documentation files. Please use wiki now.

• src: contains the source code. The codebase is written in Typescript with ES2015 syntax.

  • transpilers: contains code for the transpiling to different target languages.
  • parser.ts: contains code for the compiler core.
  • runtime.ts: contains code for Browser Runtime.
  • cli.ts: contains code for Command Line Interface.

Code Style

Don't worry about the code style as long as you install the dev dependencies. Git hooks will format and fix them for you on committing.
