idesune

Hackable IDE for Atom but editor agnostic. Roll your own workflow.

[This project is not functional yet. Currently, it’s just an idea.]

Objectives

• Provide an easy-to-implement (in Node) architecture for implementing IDE in Atom.

• Decouple the IDE part (server) from the editor (client).

Protocol Draft

• Use socket.io as base protocol.

• By default, the server binds to 127.0.0.1 at port 1435.

• Server event means server sends to client. Client event means client sends to server.

• server event: 'ui'

  • This event should be sent from the server whenever a client is connected.

  • Parameters:

    1. An Array of UIElements to display. A UIElements is an Object with these properties:

       • type A String representing the type of the element.
       • props An Object representing the properties of the element.

• client event: 'dispatch'

  • This event should be sent to the server when the user performs an action (e.g. clicks on a button) in an idesune-based UI.

  • Parameters:

    1. An Object representing the action that the user performed. Ideally it should be a Flux Standard Action.
