kwruntime

kwruntime is a custom nodejs runtime inspired by Deno / Babel. Is the best of both worlds, the simplicity of importing urls and typescript, with all nodejs ecosystem. kwruntime is fast and doesn't have depedencies. Can work as a module for nodejs, or as a runtime.

• Supports typescript out the box
• Full ES2020 Syntax
• Dynamic import supported
• Import from urls with ESM syntax
• Import from NPM in one line with ESM syntax
• Import from github and gitlab with ESM syntax
• Full nodejs ecosystem

kwruntime is the replacement of @kawix/core

Installation

There are many options for installing kwruntime. You can install in any nodejs supported platform: Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, etc.

In Android you can install using Termux (recommended Termux from F-Droid)

curl https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kwruntime/core@986e359/install/linux.sh | bash

• Windows

Installer 32/64 bits: https://github.com/kwruntime/core/releases/tag/win32-installer. The installer automatically download the last version.

• Android (with Termux)

curl https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kwruntime/core@a60e7b8/install/android.sh | bash

• Linux, Mac, Android with nodejs (please version 12 or higher)

Prerequisites: Install nodejs from https://nodejs.org/es/download/ or using distro package manager. In Android Termux you can install using: pkg install nodejs-lts or pkg install nodejs

curl https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/kwruntime/core@986e359/install/node.sh | bash

• Install from git in any node supported platform (Linux, Mac, Windows, Android, etc)

> git clone https://github.com/kwruntime/core kwruntime
> cd kwruntime
> node index --self-install

• Install from NPM registry

npm install -g @kwruntime/core
kwrun --self-install
# or 
yarn global add @kwruntime/core
kwrun --self-install
# or
pnpm add @kwruntime --global
kwrun --self-install

• Execute without install

npx @kwruntime/core github://kwruntime/std@808cb57/util/hello.ts

Get started

• Import from github/gitlab

# Syntax: github://USER/Repo@Tag_or_Commit/path/to/script.ts 
> kwrun "github://kwruntime/std@808cb57/util/hello.ts"
[kwruntime] Compiling: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kwruntime/std/808cb57/util/hello.ts
Welcome to @kwruntime/core 🥝😉

You can also import from gitlab.com using gitlab://

• Import any npm module in one line (internally uses yarn, but maybe will use pnpm in the future)

import Express from 'npm://express@4.17.1'

main()
async function main(){
    const app = Express() 
    app.get('/', function (req, res) {
        res.send('Hello World')
    })

    app.listen(3000)
    console.info("HTTP Server running on 127.0.0.1:3000")
}

• Import from URLs (like deno), for example import npm modules in one line using esm.sh

import * as Luxon from "https://esm.sh/luxon@2.3.0"
const date = Luxon.DateTime.now().toFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
console.info(date)

you will get a output like this:

> kwrun luxon_test.ts
[kwruntime] Compiling: /home/ubuntu/scripts/luxon_test.ts
[kwruntime] Compiling: https://esm.sh/luxon
[kwruntime] Compiling: https://cdn.esm.sh/v43/luxon@2.0.1/es2020/luxon.js
2022-01-04

NOTE: When you import URLs the content is cached on disk. For this reason is preferrable when you import, specify an URL containing version, tag, or commit.

Using from Node.js

const {kwruntime} = require("@kwruntime/core")
kwruntime.import("github://kwruntime/std@808cb57/util/hello.ts")

const {kwruntime} = require("@kwruntime/core")

async function main(){
    const Luxon = await kwruntime.import("https://esm.sh/luxon@2.3.0")
    const date = Luxon.DateTime.now().toFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
    console.info(date)
}
