data-apps-tool

post-web data runtime

[!WARNING] Highly experimental work in progress

https://www.npmjs.com/package/data-apps-tool

usage

npm install -g data-apps-tool

$ data-apps-tool portal

1. generates an ./index.json file which contains an array of all valid filepaths in current folder.
2. starts a web server on port 10000
3. starts a web socket server on port 10000
4. starts a file watchter to watch all files in current directory
5. open default browser on http://localhost:10000
6. serves a default index.html file which connects to ws://localhost:10000
7. index.html loads index.js unless user specified a js filepath argument after portal
8. the executed js file can use the regular web api (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API), and some additional api surface.

[!NOTE] e.g. data-apps-tool portal index.js runs a data-apps-tool browser page which loads index.js with access to the full runtime api surface
