Package information

Editor Plugin is just a bridge between Iris and alm-tools.

alm-tools is a typescript online IDE/Editor, made by @basarat one of the top contributors of the Typescript.

Iris gives you the opportunity to edit your client-side using the alm-tools editor, via the editor plugin.

This plugin starts it's own server, if Iris server is using TLS then the editor will use the same key and cert.

Install

$ go get -u github.com/iris-contrib/plugin/editor

How to use

package main

import (
	"github.com/kataras/iris"
	"github.com/iris-contrib/plugin/editor"
)

func main(){
	editorConfig:= editor.Config {
		Host: "127.0.0.1",
		Port: 4444,
		WorkingDir: "/path/to/the/client/side/directory",
		Username: "myusername",
		Password: "mypassword"

	}

	iris.Plugins.Add(editor.New(editorConfig))

	iris.Get("/", func (ctx *iris.Context){})

	iris.Listen(":8080")
}

Note for username, password: The Authorization specifies the authentication mechanism (in this case Basic) followed by the username and password. Although, the string aHR0cHdhdGNoOmY= may look encrypted it is simply a base64 encoded version of :. Would be readily available to anyone who could intercept the HTTP request. Read more.

The editor can't work if the directory doesn't contains a tsconfig.json.

If you are using the typescript plugin you don't have to call the .Dir(...)
