Great !
Thanks a lot to all who enabled this fantastic enhancement to the
fpc system !
I have been dreaming of being able to "simply run" Lazarus projects
(and legacy Delphi-) ) in a server and have the GUI displayed in a
browser.
This seems to get in reach right now :) :) :) . (OK, splitting the
project in a server and a browser part and communication between the
parts will not be automatically done in very near future, but who
knows ....)
If I Understand This Correctly,
pas2js treated program would run in a browser, client side only ?
And does not care what the server is, because it does not run on server ?
Yes.
(Note that you could write a Node.js program using pas2js, so you would have
a pas2js program on the server, and one on the browser)
For 'server' side you then write 'as usual' e.g. cgi or other way available
(server-native binary)
Yes.
(Nothing stops really the server-side-native binary (e.g. written in Pascal)
from sending a pas2js transpiled program to the browser as a part of a 'html
page'/script,
You could do so.
But I don't think you should.
but the line of separation is pretty clear here : this is like doing Graeme's favorite GUI to non-gui portion separation ';)
but still YOU are doing the separation manually - you need to write BOTH portions separately)
Yes. HTTP is client server.
You program both separately, this is natural.
For communication between the browser end and the server end, there are ways covered
(AJAX ?) not much different than the usual (js in browser <-> java/php/perl/python/server side js in server)
LAMP stack does.
Yes. Normal Ajax works, see the demos.
But we went a step further. TDataset and REST works out of the box. See also
the demos.
Michael.
