Question

I am not sure but this might be a thing in order to reduce scrolling through files I try to keep each function in respective separate file so I have over hundred of files so far and I wrote a simple code that copies the content of the function into the body of the html page and adds some template text like lt script gt tags etc I try to find the most minimal set of tools in the motto of bicycle for mind in other words you don t need a complex solution like an aircraft carrier but rather a bicycle

the next improvement I want to add is a simple parser that checks which helper functions are called inside each of the functions and build dependency graph so I will copy all the dependencies automatically

Aside As soon as the word parser is used I think of DSLs for parsing Ohm JS PEG lt ugh other names will come to me in the fullness of time gt It used to be that parsing was usable by only a select few programmers compiler writers but PEG changes all of that I have several unfinished manuscripts essays githubs wherein I try to show examples of how to build quickie text transpilers kinda like REGEX on steroids but different Anyone is welcome to contact me if interested in these WIPs

< Oleksandr Kryvonos> I like your approach I ve been doing similar things going back as far as Mu and Teliva However it s not clear to me what problem your tool is solving Is the ` lt script gt ` tags intended to mimic an editing experience or something else Could you describe the larger context or workflow in which you use this tool

Oleksandr Kryvonos · Answer

currently all I did is implementation of inliner for lt script gt content in other words I implemented a bundler

but this approach I can also use to decompose large files into smaller ones

Kartik Agaram · Answer

I am very interested in tooling that helps get rid of files containing multiple definitions The reader often wants a very different organization than the writer can anticipate

Oleksandr Kryvonos · Answer

can you describe the example for your scenario

Kartik Agaram · Answer

For any change I make I need to modify multiple files But I m often not consulting all of each file There s usually some cross cutting concern that s a slice of multiple files modules namespaces Having all of multiple files open is almost always a waste of screen space This isn t the most important problem in the world Just something small that has always seemed easy to fix

I also wrote a very simple bundler It only really works if you code exactly like me though I really enjoy pushing for a minimal build process where possible and I m glad to see more and more people trying it out too like this post
