HTML only out-of-box working example

[Fastidious]

Would it be possible to have an out-of-box working example, using only HTML (no Node), along the way of instant.io, or similar (if it is not possible to have it exactly like it)?

Instant is open

@blairanderson correct me if I am wrong, doesn't instant.io use Node?

[raphaelparent]

@Fastidious You're right, it does run on Node.

BUT, if you look in the code, everything that is WebTorrent related is on the client side

@raphaelparent that is the thing, I am not a programmer. Yet, I would love to have a full working example (which could be use on a daily bases, like instant.io) of webtorrent using only HTML5 and JS, no Node, or any extras, say to upload a file, serve it via torrent, and allow the download of it (all browser to browser).

Ok I get your point now, someone should convert the Jade view to html and make it work with the .js file.

If you know HTML and work you way around the Jade file you should be able to recreate the HTML part and you can use the file /client/index.js as the script.

Otherwise someone who knows is way around Jade and HTML should be able to do it pretty easily.

There are working browser-only examples, browser-seed.js and browser-download.js.

@elad could you put it all together in a simple HTML page (index.html plus JS)? Something that allows someone to make a file available (upload) and shareable (download), both in a single page?

If https://file.pizza/ doesn't do what you want, you'll have to figure this one out yourself I'm afraid...

[Fastidious]

@elad sigh... https://file.pizza/ uses Node. It is not the same. Thanks for trying though, appreciated.

Have you checked out my client? https://github.com/DiegoRBaquero/BTorrent

It's Jade, CoffeeScript and Sass (HTML, Javascript and CSS). Three simple files.

The compiled version is https://btorrent.xyz, thought the files are minified and rendered (angular).

If you'd liked HTML, JS and CSS (in case you really don't understand Jade/CoffeeScript/CSS) I can compile a non-minified versions.

Cheers

@DiegoRBaquero that is most excellent, thanks! I have played with it, and already have three issues opened for you. :-) Closing this one here, as you provided what I asked for.

Let's add some complete HTML examples to the examples/ folder, because I keep getting this request from people.

"On github you provide JS examples, but I couldn't find any HTML examples, that is required."

[professorhaseeb]

agreed.

[feross]

Here's a PR that adds the example: #538
