Plugin Description
EasyCoder is a programming language written in JavaScript/ECMAScript 6 and packaged as a browser plugin. It is known to work with popular browsers such as Chrome and Firefox on Windows or Linux, as well as on current iOS and Android devices.
EasyCoder is for non-programmers, who generally find JavaScript hard to learn. Not everyone want to be a professional programmer; most just want to achieve results with the minimum of effort. The work done by JavaScript in a web page mostly uses a small fraction of its capabilities, so we’ve taken the more common requirements and packaged them up in an English-like script syntax. Some of the commonest requirements are
- Change the appearance of a screen element by modifying its CSS attributes. You may want something a little – or a lot – different to what your theme provides.
- Show and hide parts of your content, avoiding the need to reload the page by putting everything in at the start and selecting which parts of it to show.
- React to button clicks and other events by altering the appearance or revealing content as above.
- Retrieve content from web services.
EasyCoder provides a simple syntax to do all these things, at about the same level of complexity and readability as SQL or Excel macros. It’s a full programming language, though, capable of making complex logical decisions.
EasyCoder scripts are embedded in your page or post, inside
...
tags. When the page loads, EasyCoder looks for this element then compiles and runs the script it contains. When it interacts with HTML elements it does so by attaching their IDs to its own variables, so your HTML and its controlling script are in the same file.
The EasyCoder library module is currently less than 50k bytes in its minimised form. Its performance is good because scripts are precompiled – a process that takes only tens of milliseconds – and the compiled code for each command is only a thin wrapper around the corresponding JavaScript functionality.
When EasyCoder detects an error, either in compilation or at runtime, it opens a popup window with a friendly error message that tries to tell you what went wrong and where in the script it happened.
As a further help when developing scripts, EasyCoder has a single-step tracer where you can decide which variables to display for each step of your script. To use this feature you just add a
section to your page.
