js-py-proto

Javascript library to bring your favorite Python built-ins to the web.

Being a full-stack developer, I often find myself wishing that native Javascript entities had a bit more functionality. In particular, I have written a few functions here and there that I come to expect because of python built-ins.

So, I decided to make a project where I can take that idea to the next level and aim to implement as many python built-ins in Javascript as I can.

Using in Your Project

In the HTML...

<html>
    <!-- All of your htmls... -->

    <!-- Include BEFORE your own js so the functions will be there when you want them. -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jspyproto.js"></script>
    <!-- If you are going to use the configurable version, put your configuration code immediately following. -->
</html>

In the JS...

    // Use Strings, Objects, Arrays as you normally would...
    // But now... they have all of the python built-ins implemented!
    var pyString = "i am a javascript string... with python functions";
    pyString.capitalize(); // "I am a javascript string... with python functions"
    pyString.count('python'); // 1
    // And many more...

In nodejs...

npm install js-py-proto

    require('js-py-proto')();
    var pyString = "i am a javascript string... with python functions";
    pyString.capitalize(); // "I am a javascript string... with python functions"
    pyString.count('python'); // 1
    // And many more...

Strings

String functions that have been implemented can be found here: http://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#string-methods
