Another REPL for [traceur](https://github.com/google/traceur-compiler).
npm install traceur-replAnother REPL for traceur.
(See also the projects
traceur-cli and
traceurepl.)
Tested only in Linux for now...
npm install -g traceur-repl
In the command line, launch traceur-repl.
A prompt traceur> should open.
There are several options added to the repl, launch :help to see them.
The traceur compiler accepts many options.
#### Listing the options
Launch the command :opts in the traceur-repl to see the current options passed to the compiler.
#### Setting the options
To change options, you can pass arguments to :opts.
For instance, :opts +debug -classes outputLanguage=es6 will have the effect of:
* setting the debug option to true,
* setting the classes option to false,
* setting the outputLanguage option to 'es6'.
#### Shortcut
If you are lazy, you can spare yourself the end of the name of the option.
For instance, the following will set to true all the options starting with
'gener' ('generatorComprehension' and 'generators'):
traceur> :opts +gener
You can enable (resp. disable) all of the boolean options at once by running :opts + (rsp. :opts -).
#### Experimental
You can enable all the experimental features at the same time with:
traceur> :opts +experimental
(Disable with -experimental.)
You have to write 'experimental' in full though, no shortcut for that one.
If you want to see the result of traceur transpilation, prepend your command by :t.
In this case, the transpiled code is not executed, only shown.
For instance:
traceur> :t let x = 1
"use strict";
var x = 1;
If you want to see how traceur transpiles the content of your clipboard, use :tpaste.
The section between '<<<' and '>>>' is the content of your clipboard, the rest
is the transpilation result.
traceur> :tpaste
<<<
...let x = 1
...let add = (x,y=1) => x+y
>>>
"use strict";
var x = 1;
var add = (function(x) {
var y = arguments[1] !== (void 0) ? arguments[1] : 1;
return x + y;
});
If you want to see how traceur transpiles the content of a file, use :tfile.
traceur> :tfile test/loadMe.js
var x = 1;
var add = (function(x) {
var y = arguments[1] !== (void 0) ? arguments[1] : 1;
return x + y;
});
var y = add(x, x);
y;
Just type javascript code, and it will be transpiled/executed using the latest
traceur-compiler version available.
traceur> let x = 1
undefined
traceur> x
1
If you want to execute the content of your clipboard, use :paste. The content
pasted is executed. (The section between '<<<' and '>>>' is the content of your
clipboard.)
traceur> :paste
<<<
...let x = 1
...let add = (x,y=1) => x+y
>>>
