Summer of Code/2015/Interactive JS Shell: Difference between revisions

Line 81:

The tutorial creator is for both teachers and students who have earned some knowledge about JS to help other fellow students. This would not require any further development skill. The teacher/student would have to enter only three things to make tutorial expected input code, expected output code and some explanation/hint/syntax about the input code which would help the student to understand the usage of that command. This application will be packaged with some tutorials during its installation only.

THE VISUAL JS DEBUGGER

'''''THE VISUAL JS DEBUGGER'''''

The interface ~~has~~ a easy ~~Javascript~~ debugging ~~facility where if~~ the student ~~clicks~~ on a line of the code ~~he/she has written the debugger will return~~ the ~~value~~ of ~~all~~ the declared variables ~~just after execution of that particular line. This task is accomplished by the help of library UglifyJS which parses a given source code and can list out the variables used~~. I have already built a simple debugger and here is a screencast of that - [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/images/f/fe/Final.gif LINK].

The Visual debugging interface is implemented using '''''UglifyJS '''''library. The '''''UglifyJS.minify() '''''function creates a source code map and extracts the variables used in the program. The source map can be used to parse codes which contain multiline codes (a single line code broken into more than one line), a feature yet to be added.

To make this feature easy to use this debugging interface is loaded as soon as the program is started. Hence the student just needs to click on any line of the code to see the values of the declared variables there.
