Pipe-line

A repo for executing client commands on the server side.

Usage

Pipe-line can be used by simply including the php file and scripts folder in your projects root directory. Pipe-line comes with a basic index.html file for testing its functionality. it allows its user to type in a command and watch it get executed on the server side operating system. to run a Pipe-line command, simply use:

executeCommand( command, outElement = null, inputs = null, exec_function = null );

This will execute the entered command and dump the output to the element with the id of outElement. You can also enter a function directly to be directly called and the output data will be passed into the function as a paramater. E.g.

executeCommand( "time", null, null, function( e ) {
      alert(e);
 });

This will alert the data that is returned from the command, which is just the time.

Examples

In the included example document you can see the executeCommand( command, outElement = null, inputs = null, exec_function = null ); command being used with an interative client and server side command line, as shown below. The usage of Pipe-Line is not limited to creating interactive command lines, Pipe-line will be able to execute scripts and files in other programming languages, this could be used to create and online IDE or just adding universal support for all languages to your website (running code from languages such a Java or Python). For example, say you had the following Java code:

public class Main {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println("test");
	}
}

You would be able to recieve the output of that code using Pipe-Line:

<script src="Scripts/main.js">
	executeCommand([PATH/TO/JAVAC]); // Executes JAVAC to compile file.
	executeCommand([PATH/TO/JAVA] + " PATH/TO/CLASS/FILE", null, null, function(data) { // Runs File.
		console.log(data);
	});
</script>

This would output: test.

Future updates

Pipe-line aims to later include:

• Full support for installation using npm.
• node.js releases.

Release notes

• Pipe-line initial commit.
