Add Builtins #58

Closed facekapow closed 9 years ago

facekapow commented 9 years ago

Add built-in shell functions into runtimejs. Functions are (currently):

...and more commands are a work in progress.

iefserge commented 9 years ago

@ArielAbreu Nice! Let's rename builtins to shell though, so it's clear that it's a shell stuff.

Random thought, not really related to this PR, do you think it makes sense to rename shutdown to poweroff? The latter sounds better to me.

facekapow commented 9 years ago

Yeah, plus it is the Unix name for it. I'll rename it.

facekapow commented 9 years ago

@iefserge Items renamed, waiting for the result of the Travis build.

facekapow commented 9 years ago

@iefserge I do have a small question, though. Are isolates still used? Because I get the feeling (from the js tests) that they are sort of being moved away from.

iefserge commented 9 years ago

Looks great! Isolates as in current implementation are deprecated and API is going to be removed. However they might be added back later in a form of web workers or something similar.

facekapow commented 9 years ago

Sorry, slipped my mind. So, (about the isolates) how do I save a file from my app into the VFS, just for the session? (Since isolates will be removed)

facekapow commented 9 years ago

I'm planning to add ping, but I need runtime-node-net to be automatically added to the initrd created by runtimeify.

iefserge commented 9 years ago

VFS is not supported too, what are you trying to do?

facekapow commented 9 years ago

i want to be able download files and manipulate them.

iefserge commented 9 years ago

ah, you'd need to keep them in buffers or process on the fly.

facekapow commented 9 years ago

Ok, thanks. BTW, opened an issue on runtimeify about adding runtime-node-net and http-node.

kesla commented 9 years ago

Sorry, now this is already merged so I guess I'm a little bit slow on the ball here - but couldn't this be created as a separate module outside of core?

piranna commented 9 years ago

:+1:

facekapow commented 9 years ago

Well, yes. It'd actually be better as an optional module. runtime-starter-pack? :smile: Seriously, I think that'd be better. runtime-shell or whatever. Naming things is hard.

iefserge commented 9 years ago

@kesla @piranna It's going to be moved out later with all the shell stuff, first need to figure out sane interface for it.

kesla commented 9 years ago

Perfect, interface first, modularisation second!
