KLIPSE

KLIPSE is a simple client-side code evaluator pluggable on any web page.

KLIPSE is both a web REPL and a plugin.

Plugin

The klipse plugin is a javascript tag that transforms static code snippets of an html page into live and interactive snippets:

Live: The code is executed in your browser
Interactive: You can modify the code and it is evaluated as you type

The code evaluation is done in the browser: no server is involved at all!

The code editing is done with CodeMirror.

Web REPL

The Web REPL is live at http://app.klipse.tech

Here is the manual for the KLIPSE web repl.

Languages supported in the REPL: clojure and clojurescript.

Live demo

With the klipse plugin, the code is evaluated as you type...

Javascript	Ruby

PHP	Clojure

Supported languages

javascript: evaluation is done with the javascript function eval and pretty printing of the result is done with pretty-format
clojure[script]: evaluation is done with Self-Hosted Clojurescript
ruby: evaluation is done with Opal
C++: evaluation is done with JSCPP
python: evaluation is done with Skulpt
scheme: evaluation is done with BiwasScheme
PHP: evaluation is done with Uniter
BrainFuck
JSX
EcmaScript2017

Here is a live demo of the embedding of klipse in a web page.

Integration

In order to integrate the klipse plugin on a blog, library documentation or any other web page, add the following javascript tag at the end of the page body according to the language of the code snippets:

You need also to add <!DOCTYPE html> at the top of your html file and <meta charset="utf-8"> right after your <head>.

javascript

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://storage.googleapis.com/app.klipse.tech/css/codemirror.css">

<script>
    window.klipse_settings = {
        selector_eval_js: '.language-klipse-eval-js', // css selector for the html elements you want to klipsify
    };
</script>
<script src="https://storage.googleapis.com/app.klipse.tech/plugin_prod/js/klipse_plugin.min.js"></script>

Here is a jsfiddle with the klipse plugin for javascript. And here are detailed explanations about a javascript live code editor in a blog post.

    };
</script>
<script src="https://storage.googleapis.com/app.klipse.tech/plugin_prod/js/klipse_plugin.min.js"></script>

clojure

Pay attention: for clojure interactive snippets, you must use the non-minified version of klipse as for the moment, self-host cljs doesn't support advanced compilation!

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://storage.googleapis.com/app.klipse.tech/css/codemirror.css">

<script>
    window.klipse_settings = {
        selector: '.language-klipse'// css selector for the html elements you want to klipsify
    };
</script>
<script src="https://storage.googleapis.com/app.klipse.tech/plugin/js/klipse_plugin.js"></script>

https

If your site runs under https, you need to load the klipse plugin from https://storage.googleapis.com/app.klipse.tech instead of http://app.klipse.tech.

The reason is that the klipse plugin is hosted on Google Cloud Storage and for the moment SSL is not supported for custom domains.

Configuration

The klipse plugin is configurable both at the level of the page and at the level of the snippet.

Page level configuration

Here are the settings for the klipse plugin a page level:

window.klipse_settings = {
          eval_idle_msec: 20, // idle time in msec before the snippet is evaluated
          selector: '.language-klipse', //selector for clojure evaluation snippets
          selector_js: '.language-klipse-js', // selector for clojure transpilation snippets 
          selector_reagent: '.language-reagent', // selector for reagent snippets
          selector_eval_js: '.language-klipse-eval-js', // selector for javascript evaluation snippets
          selector_eval_ruby: '.language-klipse-eval-ruby', //selector for ruby evaluation snippets
          selector_es2017: '.language-klipse-es2017', // selector for EcmaScript 2017 evaluation snippets
          selector_jsx: '.language-klipse-jsx', // selector for jsx evaluation snippets
          selector_transpile_jsx: '.language-transpile-jsx', // selector for jsx transpilation snippets
          selector_eval_php: '.language-klipse-eval-php', // selector for php evaluation snippets
          selector_eval_markdown: '.language-klipse-markdown', // selector for markdown transpilation snippets
          selector_eval_lambdaway: '.language-klipse-lambdaway', // selector for lambdaway transpilation snippets
          selector_eval_python_client: '.language-klipse-python', // selector for python evaluation snippets
	      selector_eval_cpp: '.language-klipse-cpp', // selector for cpp evaluation
          selector_eval_html: '.language-klipse-html', // selector for html evaluation snippets
          selector_sql: '.language-klipse-sql', // selector for sqlite evaluation snippets
          selector_eval_scheme: '.language-klipse-scheme', // selector for scheme evaluation snippets,
		  clojure_cached_ns_root: '/my-root', // the root of clojure cached namespace
		  clojure_cached_macro_ns_regexp: /reagent.*/, // the regexp for clojure macro namespaces that are cached
  		  clojure_cached_ns_regexp: /reagent.*/, // the regexp for clojure namespaces that are cached
		  codemirror_root: '/my-codemirror-root', // the root of codemirror files
		  scripts_root: '/my-scripts-root', // the root of scripts files (e.g pretty_format.js, opal.js ...)
		  
};

Additionaly, you can configure CodeMirror input (snippet source code) and output (snippet evaluation) by setting codemirror_options_in and codemirror_options_out:

Currently, we support all the settings CodeMirror Configuration settings and part of the Addons settings: matchBrackets and autoCloseBrackets.

For instance, you can modify the identUnit, lineWrapping, lineNumbers and autoCloseBrackets like this:

window.klipse_settings = {
    codemirror_options_in: {
        indentUnit: 8,
        lineWrapping: true,
        lineNumbers: true,
       autoCloseBrackets: true
    },
    codemirror_options_out: {
        lineWrapping: true,
        lineNumbers: true
    }
}

Clojure only

print_length: (default 1000) max number of items in collections to display - useful to prevent browser stuck when evaluating infinite sequences like (range)
beautify_strings: (default false) when evaluation result is a string - display the "interior" of the string without escaping the quotes.

Snippet level configuration

The following attributes can be added to the DOM element of the snippet:

data-eval-idle-msec: (default 20) idle time in msec before the snippet is evaluated
data-loop-msec: (default undefined) the code is run in a loop every data-loop-msec msec

Javascript only

data-external-libs: comma separated list of javascript libraries to load before snippet evaluation
data-async-code: (default false) when true, asynchronous calls to console.log append their result to the result cell

Clojure only

Here is a live demo of the diffeent snippet level configuration options.

The following data attributes are supported on a klipse snippet DOM element:

data-static-fns: (default false) set to true for using static dispatch
data-external-libs: comma separated list of github repositories to resolve dependencies: you need to provide the full list of dependencies (including the dependencies of dependencies recursively). See for instance Lambda Caclulus with clojure and Klipse
data-print-length: (default 1000) max number of items in collections to display - useful to prevent browser stuck when evaluating infinite sequences like (range)
data-preamble: (default "") A string containing Clojurescript source code that should be run before the contents of this snippet, eg "(reset! canvas-id :canvas-2)". Useful for hiding implementation details from readers in blog posts, like e.g. setting a canvas-id atom to :canvas-2, or for performing any other setup operations that need to be done on a per-snippet basis.
data-beautify-strings: (default false) when evaluation result is a string - display the "interior" of the string without escaping the quotes.
data-verbose: (default false) passed to boostrapped eval and compile :verbose opts
data-max-eval-duration: (default 1000) max number of milliseconds the snippet code is allowed to run synchronously before being interrupted.
data-compile-display-guard: (default false) when true, display the anti-starvation code inside result of compilation

Styling

The Klipse plugin can be easily styled with CSS, which can be applied both to the Klipse plugin's own elements, and to the CodeMirror editor's elements. Much of the styling you'll apply will be to CodeMirror, as it contains all the CSS classes to style the code itself. Surrounding CodeMirror is the Klipse plugin, the styles of which control the plugin's borders, and the executed code's output.

Changing the style of CodeMirror

You can change the theme of the CodeMirror editor simply by modifying its CSS. If you don't want to create your own theme, Farhad Gayour has an awesome list of ready-made themes you can select from. Have a look at the different themes by selecting them from the drop-down. Once you've found one you like, head to the theme repo to copy the CSS, paste it into a CSS file, and link to it from the HTML page containing your Klipse plugin.

Changing the style of the Klipse plugin

To change the style of the Klipse plugin's borders and the console output, you'll need to add a few extra style rules to your CSS file. These are:

.CodeMirror - modify the plugin's borders and CodeMirror's containing div
.CodeMirror:last-child::before - modify the console's title (i.e. the bit that says Output:)
.CodeMirror:last-child - modify the console area (i.e. the area beneath Output:)

You can see an example of styling Klipse in demos/styling. And here is a live demo
