ngPreboot

[PatrickJS]

built on top of preboot.js, pre-compile a mini angular for server view to recreate actions where the code path doesn't hit a call to the server or 3rd party module. The goal is to allow features such as two-way data binding and simple functionality such as NgIf

stages (may need more research and/or exploratory programming)

• parse a class
• figure out it's methods
• figure out which methods with code paths do not hit a server call or 3rd party module
• compile the ngTemplate using Angular's ngCompiler
• match methods
• recreate methods using vanilla js
• recreate simple logic such as two-way data binding using vanilla js
• proof of concept

@incrediblesound is working on the prototype

[incrediblesound]

Currently working on a prototype that parses the JS into esprima and transforms the esprima tree into a more compact, easily traversable tree. This stage is almost done. After that the idea is to extract events from the templates and find their code paths in the syntax tree. Once we have the branches responsible for handling the events it's just a matter of turning them back into vanilla JS.

[incrediblesound]

I threw together a template parser to use in the interim while we don't have ngCompiler for parsing templates, I'm using this single element as input:

<input #newtodo (keyup)="enterTodo($event, newtodo)">

And it produces this output node:

{"data":     
    { "elementType": "input",
       "identifier":"newtodo",     
       "events":[
                {"eventName":"keyup",
                "functionName":"enterTodo",
                "params":["$event","newtodo"]}
                ]
     },
"children":[],    
"parent":null}

we're going to push this back for when we have more time to work on it. closing for now
