elm-scripting/TODO.md

Major

• find a way to process external data

  • from stdout (use case : json), use flags
  • from files (use case : SSG)
  • from http (use case : spider)

• implements some missing Web API:

  • Events
  • Fetch(or XMLHttpRequest)
  • Promise (if needed by the above)

• find a way to create a standalone executable (maybe with a combination of Google Closure Compiler and qjsc)

• find a way to stream instead of having the whole document in memory (output as soon as a node is created ? a child is added ?)

Minor

• support for Elm debug (-d) mode (qjs does not implement console.warn, only console.log)
  • in debug mode, keep the output
• allow to specify or guess the main module name
• if innerHTML attribute is set, output its value instead of the node tree
• allow to create standalone (-s) HTML document instead of fragment => use template engine instead
• silence elm compiler message when successful
• skip compilation steps if source has not been modified ; run directly ; this mean keeping the output
• add proper copyright and license
