Getting Started

First install npm for example using Conda:

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate npm

Install dependencies:

npm install

Then build the website:

./build.py

Finally serve a local version using:

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying pages/index.js. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

Features

Loading Source Code from Gist or URL

This feature allows users to load source code into the text box by providing either a URL or a GitHub Gist. It simplifies the process of compiling and running code from external sources, making it convenient for users to test and share code effortlessly.

Loading Source Code from URL

• Users can load source code by providing a URL directly in the format: https://dev.lfortran.org/?code=<URL-encoded code>.
• The code provided via URL can be any valid Fortran code.

Example URL:

https://dev.lfortran.org/?code=program%20hello%0A%20%20!%20This%20is%20a%20comment%20line%3B%20it%20is%20ignored%20by%20the%20compiler%0A%20%20print%20*%2C%20%27Hello%2C%20World!%27%0Aend%20program%20hello%0A

Loading Source Code from GitHub Gist

• Alternatively, users can load source code from a GitHub Gist by providing the Gist URL in the format: https://dev.lfortran.org/?gist=<GitHub username>/<Gist ID>.
• The compiler will fetch the raw content from the specified GitHub Gist.
• Note: GitHub Gist takes approximately 5 minutes to update the raw content after any changes are made. As a result, there may be a delay of about 5 minutes before the updated content is reflected when loaded.

Example GitHub Gist URL:

https://dev.lfortran.org/?gist=certik/7e2652943bbff7f0d0963dd4fcf1813a

Mutual Exclusivity

• Users should be aware that if both a URL and a GitHub Gist are provided, the code parameter is given preference. Only the code provided via the code parameter will be considered for compilation.

This feature enhances the versatility of the LFortran compiler, enabling users to seamlessly compile and run Fortran code from external sources without needing to download or manage local files.
