Example Script Bundle / Repo

[trych]

Hi, my new class starts tomorrow and I am thinking about how to best organize stuff. I realized it might be best to move all example scripts to a specific place where it is easy for people to download them and where we can be sure that they stay in the same place. I.e. a place where we always find the most up to date example script folder.

What would be the easiest / most appropriate way to do this? Should we always zip the examples to one file? Or should we create a dedicated repo for this, something like https://github.com/basiljs/example-scripts/.

Or is there a better way?

What do you think?

I am +1 on moving them out of the core repo. "basiljs/examples" is enough for the repo name IMHO

[b-g]

+1 Good call! Either a separate repo https://github.com/basiljs/examples or everything simply in the code repo https://github.com/basiljs/basil.js/examples. I think the first one is cleaner, but will create some complexity in regards of bundling the official download packages.

In any case it would be great to do in the near future a 2.0 release of all the current achievements, doesn't make sense for me to wait another year. I would vote for a "this is what we got" 2.0 release end of Feb 2018.

But not impossible. You can pull in git repos with npm and then have some build script to copy everything into a folder and zip it. Can also be done with gulp or similar task runners.

Sounds great. I hope I get soon some time to work on the docs again. 😄 ⏲ (a rare good).

Another thing about 2.0 I don't think that it is possible to remove the good old b. without putting everything in the global scope. This would also mean a huge refactor of the lib.

Ok, great. I will move them all to https://github.com/basiljs/examples then.

I would agree to make a release finally at some point, but there is a few things that I would say should definitively be implemented before we do this. One of them would be to get rid of b. unless …

Noooooooo. 😱 How did you come to this conclusion? Have you tried out some things?

Anyways, there is 2 or three other things that I think should be included in basil.js 2.0. I think for quicker agreeing on targets and plans another Skype call would be good. What do you guys think? Should we try to schedule a Skype call via private email?

Of course I did. The big problem is to get the go executed. If I move everything into the global scope it works.

+1 for a Skype call in the next weeks. Just not in the next 2 weeks (semester starts + on a crazy deadline for the new edition of Generative Gestaltung) ... let's aim for mid/end of Oct.

Insufficient permissions to create a new repo. 😢 Can someone either create a new one named examples for me (with empty README.md and MIT license) or give me permission to create one myself? Thanks! 😉

I just checked, what we decided in the last meeting and the decision was to try to get rid of b.go(), see here. (And also to replace function draw by function setup).

Also, in this discussion here it does not sound like you guys were opposing making it global. Anyways, I am absolutely not the expert in this stuff and I think it is probably easiest to discuss this in the next Skype meeting. :)

[ff6347]

Don't have the permission either…

[b-g]

Done! Here we go: https://github.com/basiljs/examples

Team skype: will send a doodle with dates ...

This is done, all further issues concerning the examples should be opened in the dedicated repo.
