This gem is the core of the It's All Text! Editor Daemon.
The IAT Editor Daemon is a restful web server that allows you to open text data in the editor of your choice.
This is still being designed and developed! You probably don't want to play with it (YET)!!!
bundle installrake spec
- Ruby (preferrably 1.9.2+, but 1.8.7 should work)
The API is documented in the features/extension_*.feature files. You
can run cucumber to read them.
Further documentation is availble by running rake docs or visiting Iated on
RubyDoc.info
GET /preferences requires "token".
Opens a web-page displaying the preferences. Note, there are other URLs that Iated supports for modifying the preferences.
GET /preferences/set-editor require "token".
This opens a dialog on the system running Iated to choose the editor.
The letter b: is the browser's requests. s: is the server's
response. Side-effects are in square braces ([]).
b: GET /hello
s: ok [a popup with the secret is shown]
b: POST /hello with data: secret=NNNN
s: token=<MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM>
b: POST /edit text=<textarea data> url=<someurl> id=<textarea-id>
s: <sid>
b: GET /edit/<sid>
s: nochange
b: GET /edit/<sid>
s: <next textarea data>
This is a list of dialogs that Iated needs to be able to generate:
- Set Editor -- The dialog to select an editor.
- Auth Code -- A dialog to show the auth-code for entering in the browser.
- Select Port -- A dialog to select the port to run on for the first time or if changing.
At some point I'm going to need concurrancy. I'm thinking jetlang (a java library) is the right way to go. It's Erlang style concurrancy, so it'll scale well and should be safe without having to worry about joins, etc. There is a ruby gem called jretlang
