js-py-proto
Javascript library to bring your favorite Python built-ins to the web.
Being a full-stack developer, I often find myself wishing that native Javascript entities had a bit more functionality. In particular, I have written a few functions here and there that I come to expect because of python built-ins.
So, I decided to make a project where I can take that idea to the next level and aim to implement as many python built-ins in Javascript as I can.
Travis Build Status:
Using in Your Project
In the HTML...
<html>
<!-- All of your htmls... -->
<!-- Include BEFORE your own js so the functions will be there when you want them. -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="jspyproto.js"></script>
<!-- Your scripts here... -->
</html>In the JS...
// Use Strings, Objects, Arrays as you normally would...
// But now... they have all of the python built-ins implemented!
var pyString = "i am a javascript string... with python functions";
pyString.capitalize(); // "I am a javascript string... with python functions"
pyString.count('python'); // 1
// And many more...In nodejs...
npm install js-py-proto
require('js-py-proto')();
var pyString = "i am a javascript string... with python functions";
pyString.capitalize(); // "I am a javascript string... with python functions"
pyString.count('python'); // 1
// And many more...Strings
String functions that have been implemented can be found here: http://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#string-methods
Objects/Dicts
Object/Dict functions that have been implemented can be found here: https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#mapping-types-dict
-
getwas aliased togetValuebecausegetbreaks some standard javascript Object features -
updatecurrently only takes another Object/Dict and does not accept an array of (key, val) pairs -
iter*andview*functions have not yet been implemented because there is no euqivalent in javascript yet - Once Javascript 1.7 is widely supported,
iter*functions will be useful and are on my radar
Arrays
Array functions that have been implemented can be found here: https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/datastructures.html#more-on-lists
-
popwas aliased topopItembecause native JS already implementspop, and the python allows for passing an item in to pop
