RunTime IDE on WEB ? with RunTime Script ?

[sagt3k]

Hi,

I use objects for many years as Fast-Script to write code at run-time, saved on database and always be modified in real-time.

I wonder if I can have an object at run-time on UNIGUI able to modify the form and then be able to apply code at run-time with objects as Fast-Script or RemObjects Pascal Script.

I think it can be very useful to manage a quick maintenance of our software over the Web without changing the application .exe.

 

What do you think?

It should be doable. You need to start trying by adding unigui controls to your script engine.

That would be very interesting indeed.

Send us an example ... how you did it!

It would be nice to see working.

At present am maintaining an engine that works on a classic project delphi. For several months I'm trying to port the entire project to UNIGUI unverse with great difficulty . However, I anticipate that the script can work in multi-thread on which I create in the form of TFrame then applying scripts that fetch from database. This allows me to change the logic of the program in real time. The program at the end is just a shell. Thank you for your interest, however, thought that working on the web is one of the most effective and quick to do maintenance projects to clients.

YES!

OK, This is the heart of the current thread, which allows the start of the script and assign objects. For now I am busy with porting UNIGUI whole project, I will keep you informed as soon as I ported the script.

Hello, what end turned the project with script?

[davidizadar]

Adding scripting to a project should be (and it is) totally unrelated to the platform.

If you look at the latest Best Practices, with uniGUI with can target both platforms - desktop and touch - and it is possible to separate the user interface from the business logic.

Basically, we should leverage Delphi actions and event handlers for moving all the business logic to a data module.

Any piece of code in the data module is just Delphi code and it could be implemented by using a scripting language. The only requirement is to provide the bindings (the script must be able to reference the host application classes).

You can use Pascal Script, paxCompiler, anything.

Things become more interesting when you add a run-time Form Designer to the mix, allowing you to redesign (or just design) the user interface, save that design, and load it again everytime you activate it again.

 

Everything is possible!
