Try Haxe online!

[clemos]

Hi list,

As promised, I've been working on a small web app to test Haxe online.
It's quite similar to what Dart or JSX already have.

You can try it here:
http://try-haxe.aaaliasing.net/
Please do not share it too widely for now, I'd like to be sure that
there are not too large security holes.
I'd be very glad to receive any help in case someone finds some...

The source is here:
https://github.com/clemos/try-haxe

Currently, it works only for JS, but it should be quite easy to add
SWF support (it's almost done actually).
As for security, I've realized right before putting it online that
@:macro could be very dangerous so I disabled it...

I'd like to add autocompletion soon, so I used CodeMirror because it
already has base things for that.
I'm very open to any contribution.
Here are my thoughts on what could be interesting right now:
- finish SWF support, eventually with AS3 source
- Adding examples
- Better highlighting (a CodeMirror haxe mode; currently uses Javascript)
- more JS compilation options (--js-modern, maybe libs)
- "safe" other targets (@:macro, neko, PHP, ...) that would not pwn my server

I also like the idea of making it work more or less like pastebin or
gist, with persistence.
Currently, it keeps copies of all source files and compiled js, with
"per-load" unique ids, so there shouldn't be too much work there
either (adding "History.js" or something like that).
The "examples" section could probably be implemented this way...

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy it!

Confirmed. Looks good so far, but please compile with
--dead-code-elimination. :)

Simon

[Cambiata]

Cool! :-)

[clemos]

Ok I've added --dead-code-elimination and --js-modern

Much better. Which haxe version are you using? Current SVN should not
generate __instanceof for a hello world program, and we're working on
further improvements to minimize generated code size (see
http://code.google.com/p/haxe/issues/detail?id=881).

Great start :)

It would be nice to highlight the lines when you have some errors, and
be able to click on the error message to move to the line which has the
corresponding error :)

Also, if you could use Haxe/SVN, you'll get more optimized JS output
(and we are planning to improve it further). I think it will be nice to
make it public/official when we have "Hello World" compiling in only a
few lines of JS.

Best,
Nicolas

Oh, and code completion would be also very great.

After that, I think having a menu to select between a dozen of smart
Haxe examples should be a nice showcase.

One last idea : add a short for compilation and display it (for instance
"Run (F8)"). Makes much easy to tinkle :)

Hi,

I just upgraded from latest stable to SVN.

I agree all those features would be great.
Thus I'll (again) welcome any contribution :)

What about routing the trace command to display, maybe in a separate "trace output panel"?
This would make it more conform with hello world examples on haxe.org.
Now, trace gives a Firebug console output...

Count me in!  Do you have a roadmap of the planned features? 

Let's split some tasks, and even though my time is very restrained, I'd really love to help with what I can.

There is no roadmap at all for now, it's only a week end project really :)
There are already quite a lot of ideas in this thread, many of them
shouldn't require too much time to implement...

Ok then, I'll work on a sandboxed version of Haxe so macros are safe to execute (+ a process loader with timeouts), and later on a sandboxed neko vm, so we can safely execute scripts there (no file API, etc).

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

Good work guys, this is looking great! 

- Marcelo

[Cauê Waneck]

some ideas:

• save a snippet to a short URL (maybe even be a pastebin-like for Haxe)
• accept different files (for e.g. when we support different targets)
• add flash target
• deal with js + flash embedding

[JLM]

Looks great can it accept urls to external images? I tried an example
but it does not seem to have a default trace defined? But seems to be
compiling I orginally typed it all but eventually realised it was
possible to paste in ff. I need to update my js haxelib stuff but it
would be useful to have these installed by default, also useful to
have webm video and some stock images if external url calls are
blocked.

Well I think that's just a matter of running the compiler with a
specific Linux users which have limited rights :)

GREAT WORK! THANKS!

[clemos]

Hi Justin,

I think it should accept urls to external images, at least the way you
linked them (with Canvas and stuff it's probably another story).
The trace calls are routed to console, which I think is the default
behaviour now.
As for libs, I can probably install some on the server, just let me know.

Clément

Well this would require the rest of the server to be very secured as
well in terms of permissions, and I can't garantee that, given chmod
777 is my friend.
And there is resource management as well (timeouts, maybe quotas...).
Proper sandboxed Haxe and neko vm would be awesome, and I guess it may
have other use cases.

Clément

Chroot is your friend as well then ;)

I guess all of these (Memory, CPU, etc.) can also be handled by Linux,
and will much more efficient and safe if done by the OS than by a
modified compiler ;)

After all, that's what shared hosting services does.

It's the raw output of the compiler, and this happens when compilation
is too fast :)
Division by zero (total time) I guess...

The source is here and pull requests are welcome:

You can just contribute the feature you'd like to see / you can implement :p
I guess for now we can just watch the Network graph to see who's
working on what and avoid working on similar things:

I fixed this on SVN because it looks pretty silly that way. The
individual times are now only reported if total time is > 0.

Great, thanks Simon 

[jamezm...@gmail.com]

Is it intended that one can only use the classname Test?

class Lest {

  public static function main(){

  new js.JQuery("body").html("Haxe is great :)");

  }

}

        

Build failure

Module Test does not define type Test 

[clemos]

For now, yes, "-main Test" is more or less hard coded.

[clemos]

FYI I've added very basic autocompletion with Ctrl+Space ;)
Cheers,
Clément

[Philippe Elsass]

Pretty fantastic, but the completion list doesn't pick the text written after it is displayed.

Philippe

[clemos]

Yes, currently, it's really very basic, there is still a lot of work to be done.
But, yay, it gets actual info from the compiler, and it's rather fast :)

[Cauê Waneck]

Hey Nicolas!

 

Chroot is your friend as well then ;)

I guess all of these (Memory, CPU, etc.) can also be handled by Linux, and will much more efficient and safe if done by the OS than by a modified compiler ;)

After all, that's what shared hosting services does.

If that's the best way, I'm all for using it... But I'm not an expert in that area and I wouldn't be sure how to do it, and maybe could overlook something that would add a vulnerability to it. Also neko is pretty easy to make a sandbox with it, and I would surely feel more safe.

Also even with those measures implemented, I think it would be nice to have e.g. the non-whitelisted apis to throw a proper error, Also a watchdog for the process timing would be pretty easy to implement, and very useful IMHO (specially if we are to use mod_neko for running the scripts at server-side), even if you can define CPU quotas at the OS level.

And maybe a version of haxe without the I/O macro part would be useful for other applications, don't you think?

I think that if we get completion results automatically for each . or (

as-you-type and enable you to complete with TAB that would be really

I can reproduce on Chrome OSX.

[Franco Ponticelli]

I can reproduce on Chrome OSX.

Same here. It seems like you are using the last stable but the Git version of ACE is far superior and probably will fix the issue (I am using ACE and execute SHIFT+ENTER and works everywhere). Also the Git version supports multiple cursors which is really amazing.

Franco

Actually, I use Code Mirror.

I may have fixed the issue.

Woa, this is truly amazing!

How about adding a "library" of code examples to choose from? We could all send in small scripts (with extensive commenting) to make it a better learning expierence.

[clemos]

Now with SWF support thanks to Dima :D
http://try-haxe.aaaliasing.net/#99Cac

About libraries of code examples, it's a good idea.
We should give the possibility to "lock" some links with a password so
they can't be further modified.

Besides code examples, I think it would be great to have a kind of
"showcase" website with small demos, something much more sexy than
Dart or JSX, more like what processing.org used to be.
Because it's really a pity to present such a great technology without
seeing it in action :)

[airfoil]

Excellent work!

Minor nitpick, but on the "Options" tab I thought the little question mark icons were going to provide a tooltip-like description of the lib. It was a little weird to click on the question mark and be taken to the page for the library. Seems like clicking on the name of the lib would take me to the lib page and the question mark icons could be tooltips briefly describing the lib. It's super minor and nitpicky, but I figured I'd mention it.

Overall though, this is awesome!

One suggestion: the actual compile command can be traced/displayed, so anybody can reproduces TryHaxe's results off-line?

I guess Jeash is not perfectly ready for --dead-code-elimination yet.
Seems likes there's also a lot of things done in __init__, which makes
it big even if not much code is actually used.

It only works if you explicitely import jeash.display.Graphics,
PointInPathMode is an enum in the Graphics module.
Otherwise it doesn't appear in the output even when Graphics is obviously used.

So there may be a DCE bug, actually...

FYI- on one of the 3d demos (http://try.haxe.org/#8bEfd I think) I
went full screen and got stuck there - esc would not get me out of it.
Had to hide chrome and kill the process in the task manager to get
out. This is on Win 7 64bit and chrome. Did not try to reproduce it a
second time - was difficult to find the right process to kill...

It would also be very dangerous ;)
For now the compiler processes are not sandboxed / chrooted, so I need
to be very careful.
For instance I disabled @:file, @:bitmap and stuff...

I really need to look into chroot to allow all that.

Yes I posted it on HN, I think I'm good :p
200+ active visitors right now according to Google Analytics, and the
server looks fine

I saw you found it slow.
Could you elaborate a little ?
because actually my server is not really under heavy load right now,
so everything should work quite ok.

Works for me too (Chrome / Windows). Caue, are you sure you didn't try
to get completion in the #if js ... #end part while flash target was active?

Nevermind, it seems that most of the times it works, but sometimes it doesn't. It might be that the response time is big enough for the user(me) to play around with the text cursor, making it never show

Sorry for the false alarm ;)

Works for me, Chrome/Windows as well.
Maybe it's related to a specific example ?

Just something I came across: http://ocsigen.org/js_of_ocaml/manual/overview

AWESOME!!!!

I'll copy and paste some ideas I shared at haxenext some time ago:

  - Create a "Try Haxe" site 
      - I think this could become something very social, and VERY fun. It 
      could start with something like this:  http://golang.org/ , but I 
      think we could expand to something like Wonderfl. I think the 
hardest part 
      of that would be to make it safe, as it would be truly awesome to be able 
      to showcase some simple client->server communication, for example. I can 
      imagine that with a good system for tags, and a simple code 
analysis to get 
      the used functions could render something which IMO is even better than 
      documentation (of course one does not exclude the other): simple snippets 
      and examples! Integrate that with an IDE and you have instant snippets on 
      how to use an API!  

I really think it's an amazing initiative you're doing, Clemos, and I really would love to help. Specially if we in the future are to support maybe a server-side part, so the user can see the amazing remoting possibilities, very clearly!!!

Hi list,

As promised, I've been working on a small web app to test Haxe online.
It's quite similar to what Dart or JSX already have.

You can try it here:
http://try-haxe.aaaliasing.net/
Please do not share it too widely for now, I'd like to be sure that
there are not too large security holes.
I'd be very glad to receive any help in case someone finds some...

The source is here:
https://github.com/clemos/try-haxe

Currently, it works only for JS, but it should be quite easy to add
SWF support (it's almost done actually).
As for security, I've realized right before putting it online that
@:macro could be very dangerous so I disabled it...

I'd like to add autocompletion soon, so I used CodeMirror because it
already has base things for that.
I'm very open to any contribution.
Here are my thoughts on what could be interesting right now:
- finish SWF support, eventually with AS3 source
- Adding examples
- Better highlighting (a CodeMirror haxe mode; currently uses Javascript)
- more JS compilation options (--js-modern, maybe libs)
- "safe" other targets (@:macro, neko, PHP, ...) that would not pwn my
server

One last idea : add a short for compilation and display it (for instance "Run (F8)"). Makes much easy to tinkle :)

where is the away3d 4.x haxe version? haxelib?

I'm seconding this... potential server-side security issues aside, this was really well done.  Congrats!

Integrating the IDE with a browser makes a lot of sense, especially for working with js/flash.  Texmate had a nice "webview" mode that I haven't seen duplicated yet.

However, I found that Chrome has a nice terminal emulator app:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pnhechapfaindjhompbnflcldabbghjo

It's possible to use it with a terminal editor, and hack up the Chrome terminal output to show compiler results in an iframe.  So, here's my haxe vim plugin doing its best "light table" impersonation. :)

Best,

Hi Cauê, all,

Thanks a lot for the support :)
We made 11000+ unique visitors yesterday :D
I'd like to say a special thanks Dima, who has made significant
contributions to the project.

Here are the next steps, as I'm seing them (not necessarily in that order):
- improve autocompletion, add hints and documentation, maybe raw
toplevel completion ("ported" from haxe-sublime-text2)
- improve performance: remoting is very good for some tasks, but it's
very slow when loading relatively big files (parsing).
- database storage rather than file storage: would allow me to clean
temporary data more easily, and would open doors to features like
rating, better sharing, searching, etc
- offer more NME targets: it's probably not possible to target iOS
directly (the server is Linux, obviously :) ), but for others it might
be, at least Android... not sure how, now, though.
- offer server-side targets: security is indeed a big concern here.
There is chroot-ing, which I'll have to look into in order to avoid
being pwnd, but things like mailing, etc, should also be forbidden,
which may be more tricky to do...

Then yes as I already wrote here, I'd love to see a "showcase" website
around this first brick :)
I don't think I have the time and probably neither the social
aptitudes to start such a project, though.
But with a few more work features around try-haxe (I mean: API), this
other project could evolve autonomously.

Regards,
Clément

Obviously a browser-based IDE is something I'm seriously thinking about :)

[clemos]

Hi,

It's just a swf-lib, actually.
You can get it here:
https://github.com/clemos/try-haxe/blob/master/lib/swf/away3d4.swf
I don't know where it comes from, though, Dima just put it here.
@Dima: where did you get it ? isn't there a licence or something I
should add with it ?

Regards,
Clément

[Dima Granetchi]

it's my old build from 4.0.0 version with little bug fixes.

I'll build 4.0.6 soon

Hi!

A new online opensource code editor is available: Adobe Brackets. Maybe this is a good alternative editor for Try Haxe.

[Zachary Dremann]

Well, Brackets uses CodeMirror behind the scenes, which is exactly what is currently used already. And I'm not sure Brackets is ready for prime time yet. Good to watch out for though.

On a related note, I just hacked together a haxe mode for CodeMirror that could be used for Try Haxe. Much better syntax highlighting than using the javascript mode. You can mess around with it here: https://github.com/Dr-Emann/CodeMirror2  I'll be trying to get it pulled into the main repo soon, after some more polishing. You can play with it, and see if anything is horribly broken. Playground at mode/haxe/index.html.

Yes that's what I was going to say too.
But Brackets looks really promising, and since it's JS + CodeMirror, a
Haxe mode (completion, compilation, etc) could probably be hacked
quickly based on try-haxe code.
Thanks a lot Tom for the insight.

I'll definitely take a look at it and try to include it in try-haxe.

Wow wow wow this looks pretty amazing!

Could this be made as http://wonderfl.net/ to set a window popup size and width and background. color for fullscreen?

Those simple changes would make try-haxe the de-facto stop for online demos also considering that Haxe is faster than vanilla AS3 and way faster that JS. Getting the hardcore demo sceners at our side would increase dramatically the reception of Haxe on mainstream.

cheers!
