REPLos is a tool that enables developers to keep working in a single context.
Without REPLos, you need to switch context every time you verify your codes correctness.
With REPLos, you write a short unit of functionality and immediately check for mistakes, by evaluating just the code you have written and not leaving your IDE.
Additional benefit: You can use the inputs you provided to generate unit tests.
npm i -g replos
replos-server
default port is set to 9464 can be changed with -p <PORT>
e.g. replos-server -p 9465;
replos repl "1 + 1" or replos repl -p <PORT> "1 + 1"
For Intellij you can register replos as external tool. You can download and import ./ide-integration/intellij/exportedSettings.zip into intellij with File > Import Settings. This settings-package contains replos commands as external tool and key-bindings to them.
replos <Command> <CommandArgs>
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| call | Calls first named function1 at location |
| declare | Declares word at location as variable |
| find | Finds and evaluates |
| load | Loads file, line or word at location |
| repl | Pipes input unprocessed to the repl |
| test | Generates test for function at location |
[1] Non-anonymous functions or anonymous functions which are immediately assigned to a variable are considered named functions.
replos call $FilePath$ $LineNumber$ $ColumnNumber$
replos declare $FilePath$ $LineNumber$ $ColumnNumber$
replos find $NODE$ $FilePath$ $LineNumber$ $ColumnNumber$
Node is a string that matches against node types of the abstract syntax tree (https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-types)
e.g.
replos find VariableDeclaration ...
replos find Function ...
replos find Expression ...
replos load ...
The behavior depends on the amount of arguments provided
replos load $FilePath$ loads whole file
replos load $FilePath$ $LineNumber$ load line
replos load $FilePath$ $LineNumber$ $ColumnNumber loads word at location
replos load $FilePath$ $SelectionStartLine$ $SelectionStartColumn$ $SelectionEndLine$ $SelectionEndColumn$ loads everything between
sends code directly to to the node repl
e.g.:
replos repl 1 + 1
replos repl .clear
Generates a test about the function at the location. Can be configured to use jest or mocha and commonjs or modules.
test $FilePath$ $LineNumber$ $ColumnNumber$
Netcat to the repl server.
