XOD

XOD is a visual programming language for microcontrollers. This repository contains sources for XOD language core, XOD IDE and XOD standard library.

Installation & Quick start

Download the latest IDE version for desktop or run the browser-based IDE at https://xod.io.

Documentation and tutorials are at https://xod.io/docs/.

Building from source

XOD is written in JavaScript and ReasonML. You need Node.js and Yarn to build from source. Make sure they are available on your system.

Clone the repository and set working directory to its root. Then run:

# Install all JavaScript and ReasonML dependencies
yarn

# Build all packages of XOD
yarn build

To start the desktop IDE run:

yarn start:electron

Alternatively, run browser-based IDE:

yarn dev:browser
# IDE is available at <http://localhost:8080>

Directory structure

The project is managed as a Lerna monorepo and split up in few directories:

packages/ — most of source code is here; navigate to a particular package to see it’s own README and get an idea what it is for
tools/ — utility scripts to assist build process and routine maintenance tasks
workspace/ — XOD standard library, default projects, and end-to-end fixtures

Repository commands

You can run several commands on source files. They are available as yarn subcommands:

yarn build — build, transpile, pack all
yarn build:electron — build desktop IDE only
yarn build:cli — build CLI tools only
yarn dev:browser — run dev-version of browser IDE on localhost
yarn dist:electron — build OS-specific distributive of desktop IDE
yarn test — run unit tests
yarn test-cpp — run C++ code tests
yarn test-func — run functional tests
yarn tabtest — run standard library tabular tests
yarn lint — run the linter to check code style
yarn verify — build, lint, test; run this prior to a pull request
yarn start:electron — starts desktop IDE
yarn start:spectron-repl — starts functional tests environment
yarn storybook — starts React components viewer for visual inspection
yarn clean — remove build artifacts and installed node_modules

Note that dependencies between tasks are not resolved. test and start:* expect that the project is already built.

Scoping

Many commands (notably build, dev, test) support package scoping to save development time. To rebuild only xod-project:

yarn build --scope xod-project

To rebuild xod-project and its dependencies:

yarn build --scope xod-project --include-filtered-dependencies

Those are standard Lerna flags.

Debugging functional tests

yarn test-func runs automated end-to-end functional tests.

You can set XOD_DEBUG_TESTS environment variable to keep IDE open on failure: XOD_DEBUG_TESTS=1 yarn test-func

Use yarn start:spectron-repl to run an interactive session and control the IDE window programmatically.

Running C++ and tabular tests

You need gcc and avr-gcc to be installed system-wide to run C++ code tests. They are available as OS packages for most platforms.
