HELLO! I'm @benjaminbenben!
I work at @Pusher
None
I co-organise @JSOxford
None
I've not really said this stuff yet 1. Tell me
if we've been here too long 2. I'd be happy (and sorry) if you tell me this is rubbish
Live coding across all the things

How to build a collaborative browser-based editor (and why)
䡿 Browser-based editors

/ 䡿 The challenges
None
The challenges —Making a textarea feel nice —Showing content —Code
transpilation —External modules —Not breaking things
/ 䡿 The challenges Making a textarea feel nice
Web based code editors (maybe don't write one yourself) —Ace
Editor —Monaco —CodeMirror —~Atom~
None
Integration with our textarea CodeMirror.fromTextArea(source)
…tonnes more stuff
/ 䡿 The challenges Showing content <iframe id="target" href="/mypage"></iframe> (normal
answer: host it somewhere) !
Option 1.
"Upload" to ServiceWorker Web page → Service Worker → Network
hmmmmm —trendy —cool —persistant urls —overkill possibly —support is …
positive? —really cool
Option 2.
Data URIs
data:[<mediatype>][;base64],<data>
data:text/html,<h1>Hello! !
iframe.src = 'data:text/html;charset=utf-8,'+ '%3Cbody%3E%3Cscript%3E' + encodeURI(source.value) + '%3C/script%3E'
hmmm —lack of error handling —length limitations —random encoding issues
—restrictions…
None
Option 3.
Blobs new Blob(blobParts[, options])
b = new Blob(['…'], {type: 'text/html'})
b = new Blob(['…'], {type: 'text/html'}) url = URL.createObjectURL(b) //
"blob:https%3A/…/2084018…ab3a2cec02" // later URL.revokeObjectURL(url) !
var blob = generate(source.value) URL.revokeObjectURL(target.src) iframe.src = URL.createObjectURL(blob)
hmmm! —not stored on the stack —safe, and lots of
control —sounds cool
/ 䡿 The challenges Code transpilation
ES2015 const hey = (you) => console.log(`HELLO ${you}`) !
Tracuer Babel Bublé
All pretty cool, though personally ♥Bublé
Bublé —inspired by Babel —no shims / polyfills —compact transforms
only —less extensibility —fast —Nice one, Rich Harris
buble.transform(source.value).code
/ 䡿 The challenges External modules
// commonjs const utils = require('utils') utils.say('yeah!') // ES2015 modules
import {say} from 'utils' say('yeah!')
bundling !
Webpack Browserify Rollup
All pretty cool, though… ♥Rollup
Rollup —embracing ES2015 modules —minimal code-rewriting —tree shaking —d3, THREE.js
Rollup —embracing ES2015 modules —minimal code-rewriting —tree shaking —d3, THREE.js
—Seriously, Rich Harris you're the best
rollup.rollup({ entry: '__main__', plugins:[ { resolveId: (i) => i, load:
(id) => { if(id == '__main__') return source.value return fetch('/module/' + id + '.js') } } ] }).then(bundle => bundle.generate({ format: 'iife' }).code )
/ 䡿 The challenges Not breaking things
for(var i = 99; i > 0; i++) { console.log(`${i}
bottles of beer`) }
jsbin/loop-protect Super props, Remy Sharp loopProtect(`for(var i = 99; i
> 0; i++) { console.log(\`${i} bottles of beer\`) }`)
{;loopProtect.protect({ line: 1, reset: true }); for(var i = 99;
i > 0; i++) { if (loopProtect.protect({ line: 1 })) break; console.log(`${i} bottles of beer`) } !
/
/ 䡿 Why
Closing the loop
Closing the loop change, save, tab, ftp, wait, tab, refresh
Uploading stuff to a server
Closing the loop change, save, tab, refresh Local development
Closing the loop change, save Live reload+
Closing the loop change In place editing
This is a good thing
/ 䡿 Why Multi Device Development Experiments
/1 Collaboration
None
/2 Broadcast
/2.1 (Broadcast) For development
/2.2 (Broadcast) For talk-workshops
/3 Social inspired development
/
/ demo? let's build a "musical instrument"
People & user experience are the difficult things (so let's
focus on them)
Thank you, I'm @benjaminbenben (also, right here)
