Enable CORS access for all domains

[dylanede]

I'd like to use the clippy.bashy.io service from a GitHub pages site, so enabling access to logs from pages from domains other than clippy.bashy.io would be great.

Hi @dylanede,

at this very moment, I am hesitant to enable CORS as that could easily (unintentionally) DDOS us – at least until #15 is fixed. However, your request is very intriguing, what are you planning to do with it?

[dylanede]

Well, there's not much to it at the moment, but the idea is to make an interface for the log that makes it easier to read and shows the relevant source code and highlighted regions. At the moment I've got extraction from the log working. I haven't put it on GHP yet but here's the source:

https://github.com/dylanede/pretty-clippy

At the moment it uses alloworigin.com to access clippy.

Ah, nice @dylanede . Did you know, there was a (help-wanted) bug report to create a prettier log within clippy itself: #21 ? You wouldn't be interested in pushing this effort forward here, would you?

Among other things I wanted to make the logs more informative, provide it as one big json with actual objects in it – including the exact clippy messages with all the glory information they come with. Right now I am a little pre-occupied with other things, but if I saw progress on the HTML-UI, I'd be very motivated to get this efforts going!

Currently this is just a little side project for me - a learning tool. I'm not very experienced with webdev. I do however really like Elm, so I'll see how far I can get with this. My next task will be to take the span information and figure out which contiguous regions of source files to show (multiple messages per region), then read the files from GitHub. Current layout idea is to have source file regions on the left, with messages on the right lined up to the correct lines in the source.

So to answer your question: I don't feel experienced enough to be responsible for #21 in-tree, but I'll happily tinker away at it in my repo in my spare time until I'm happy with it.

@dylanede sure. Just keep us posted about the progress and we'll see how we can help :) .
