Ruby

Ruby is a dynamic, open source programming language with a focus on simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy to write.

LiveCodes runs Ruby in the browser using Opal.

Opal is a Ruby to JavaScript source-to-source compiler. It comes packed with the Ruby corelib you know and love. It is both fast as a runtime and small in its footprint.

Note

LiveCodes also supports running Ruby using ruby.wasm which is a collection of WebAssembly ports of the official CRuby. Read documentation here

Usage

LiveCodes runs Ruby in the browser, including corelib and the supported stdlib.

JavaScript interoperability and DOM access is achieved using "Native" module. See the starter template for an example.

Example Usage

show code

JS

import { createPlayground } from 'livecodes';

const options = {
  "params": {
    "ruby": "class User\n  attr_accessor :name\n\n  def initialize(name)\n    @name = name\n  end\n\n  def admin?\n    @name == 'Admin'\n  end\nend\n\nuser = User.new('Bob')\n\n# the output will go to the console\nputs user\nputs user.admin?\n",
    "console": "full"
  }
};
createPlayground('#container', options);

TS

import { createPlayground, type EmbedOptions } from 'livecodes';

const options: EmbedOptions = {
  "params": {
    "ruby": "class User\n  attr_accessor :name\n\n  def initialize(name)\n    @name = name\n  end\n\n  def admin?\n    @name == 'Admin'\n  end\nend\n\nuser = User.new('Bob')\n\n# the output will go to the console\nputs user\nputs user.admin?\n",
    "console": "full"
  }
};
createPlayground('#container', options);

React

import LiveCodes from 'livecodes/react';

export default function App() {
  const options = {
  "params": {
    "ruby": "class User\n  attr_accessor :name\n\n  def initialize(name)\n    @name = name\n  end\n\n  def admin?\n    @name == 'Admin'\n  end\nend\n\nuser = User.new('Bob')\n\n# the output will go to the console\nputs user\nputs user.admin?\n",
    "console": "full"
  }
};
  return (<LiveCodes {...options}></LiveCodes>);
}

Vue

<script setup>
import LiveCodes from "livecodes/vue";

const options = {
  "params": {
    "ruby": "class User\n  attr_accessor :name\n\n  def initialize(name)\n    @name = name\n  end\n\n  def admin?\n    @name == 'Admin'\n  end\nend\n\nuser = User.new('Bob')\n\n# the output will go to the console\nputs user\nputs user.admin?\n",
    "console": "full"
  }
};
</script>
<template>
  <LiveCodes v-bind="options" />
</template>

Svelte

<script>
import { onMount } from 'svelte';
import { createPlayground } from 'livecodes';

const options = {
  "params": {
    "ruby": "class User\n  attr_accessor :name\n\n  def initialize(name)\n    @name = name\n  end\n\n  def admin?\n    @name == 'Admin'\n  end\nend\n\nuser = User.new('Bob')\n\n# the output will go to the console\nputs user\nputs user.admin?\n",
    "console": "full"
  }
};
let container;
onMount(() => {
  createPlayground(container, options);
});
</script>

<div bind:this="{container}"></div>

This example demonstrates stdlib usage, JavaScript interoperability and DOM access:

show code

JS

import { createPlayground } from 'livecodes';

const options = {
  "template": "ruby"
};
createPlayground('#container', options);

TS

import { createPlayground, type EmbedOptions } from 'livecodes';

const options: EmbedOptions = {
  "template": "ruby"
};
createPlayground('#container', options);

React

import LiveCodes from 'livecodes/react';

export default function App() {
  const options = {
  "template": "ruby"
};
  return (<LiveCodes {...options}></LiveCodes>);
}

Vue

<script setup>
import LiveCodes from "livecodes/vue";

const options = {
  "template": "ruby"
};
</script>
<template>
  <LiveCodes v-bind="options" />
</template>

Svelte

<script>
import { onMount } from 'svelte';
import { createPlayground } from 'livecodes';

const options = {
  "template": "ruby"
};
let container;
onMount(() => {
  createPlayground(container, options);
});
</script>

<div bind:this="{container}"></div>
