ElixirScript

The goal is to convert a subset (or full set) of Elixir code to JavaScript, providing the ability to write JavaScript in Elixir. This is done by taking the Elixir AST and converting it into JavaScript AST and then to JavaScript code. This is done using the Elixir-ESTree library.

Requirements

• Elixir
• Node (only for development)

Usage

Please check the Getting Started Guide for usage

FAQ, Limitations

Please check the FAQ

Development

Clone the repo

git clone git@github.com:bryanjos/elixirscript.git

Get dependencies

mix deps.get
npm install

Compile

mix do std_lib, clean, compile

Test

mix test
npm test

Build

MIX_ENV=prod mix do clean, compile, std_lib, dist

This will build a tarball in the dist folder. By default the escript built will look into the folder above it for the core JavaScript files needed for ElixirScript. To change the location, update the lib_path config variable in the :elixir_script config block to the path to look in and then do a clean build.
