|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Instructions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hello and welcome to the JS piscine, first you will have to learn
|
|
|
|
|
to execute javascript.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Being a special child, JS can run in different **runtime**, what you can
|
|
|
|
|
do with it greatly depend of your runtime.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luckily you don't need to install anything for that since all you
|
|
|
|
|
need is a web browser.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> Main runtime for executing JS are: any web browser, NodeJS and Deno.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let's make a hello world:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
# first we create the javascript file
|
|
|
|
|
echo "console.log('Hello World')" > how-2-js.js
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# To run JS in your browser you need to import it from an HTML page:
|
|
|
|
|
echo '<script type="module" src="how-2-js.js"></script>' > index.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Finally let's create a simple web server
|
|
|
|
|
&>/dev/null python3 -m http.server &
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Now open your browser at the specified port
|
|
|
|
|
xdg-open 'http://localhost:8000'
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> `xdg-open` find your default application for the given argument
|
|
|
|
|
> on mac it's just `open` and it's `start` on windows
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can now open your web browser console (`ctrl`+`shift`+`i`)
|
|
|
|
|
and you should see your hello world.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> The console is a very handy place to test code and explore how the language
|
|
|
|
|
> works, don't be shy and play in it !
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Great ! you are all set, if you want to re-execute your script, just refresh.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You now just have to create a repository named `((ROOT))`,
|
|
|
|
|
which will hold all your solutions for this piscine
|
|
|
|
|
and just add your 2 generated files to it, we will start slow for now... 🐢
