strumenta / calc-monaco-editor Goto Github PK

Hello @ftomassetti ,

Thanks for sharing this project, as I learned heaps from it.
I am adapting this further to make it more friendly for frontend folks not so comfortable with backend to help them learn better.
Please check it out at https://github.com/soneymathew/calc-monaco-editor-ts

I will be keen to learn further and add

• semantic validation
• autocompletion
• providing a way to execute the code
  as you have summarised in your article
  https://tomassetti.me/writing-a-browser-based-editor-using-monaco-and-antlr/

Please share if you have plans in the near future to take it further.

Thanks,
Soney

Hi Federico,

This was very helpful. Here are a couple of suggestions to limit possible frustration from people trying out your demo who may not be too familiar with the javascript build environment. Typically it is bad practice to install typescript and webpack globally, so users may not have them installed globally (and should not actually).

• tsc may not be in the command line or may not be a current version. I would add npm install --save-dev typescript so that typescript and tsc are stored within the project. They will be in the ./node_modules/.bin folder. You may want to write a .bat file and/or .sh so that the user can follow your instructions. tsc may be in the path but an old version, e.g., v1 installed by visual studio for .net users
• webpack may not be in the path or may be an incorrect version stored globally, so a .bat or .sh that launches it might help prevent frustration

Also:

• your grammar complains about errors from the blank lines between the input, calcs, and outputs sections (I added eol* blocks in between these to get it to stop complaining)

That's about it. Thanks, again very helpful.
