What does it do?
sequential shows JavaScript code execution
var i=5/4;
i++;
console.log(i);
// > 2.25
What is it for ?
The purpose of sequential is to provide an environment to show JavaScript code execution in a browser.
sequential gives JavaScript authors the means to write the most concise and most natural (i.e. sequential) script to present any JavaScript work.
A typical piece consists of all or some of those parts:
- A comment describing what the code is about
- The load function to access any external JavaScript library (commonly relying on CDN services like rawgit, cdnjs, jsdelivr, unpkg and others)
- JavaScript code to set a use case.
- console.log calls to display the outcome.
How does it compare with other code playgrounds such as codepen or jsfiddle ?
Those are bigger beasts than sequential: fully fledged solutions covering all aspects of Web Development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). Instead, sequential focuses only on JavaScript execution without involving (as mush as possible) any DOM object.
The architecture.
sequential is a complete client side solution, meaning that everything is running on the browser. The back-end (server) is only responsible to serve static resources (HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images)
Roadmap
It's a misty one but those are a few things I'd like to have:
- Ability to easily embed on external site (e.g. IFrame , embed.ly, script )
- Ability to compare/diff executions (i.e. to highlight differences between browsers)
