Description

JS-CMP is a transpiler that converts JavaScript code into C++ code, and then compiles the generated C++ code into a binary. It enables JavaScript developers to leverage the performance of C++ by converting their JavaScript codebases into optimized executables. The project is written in C++ and uses Boost libraries.

Build Instructions

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have git, cmake and g++ or another C++ compiler installed on your system.

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/JS-CMP/JS-CMP.git

2. Navigate to the Project Directory

cd JS-CMP

3. Initialize Git Submodules

git submodule update --init --recursive

4. Install Dependencies

Linux

Debian-based:

sudo apt install libboost-all-dev doxygen libicu-dev

Arch-based:

sudo pacman -S boost doxygen icu

Fedora:

sudo dnf install boost-devel doxygen libicu-devel

macOS

brew install boost doxygen icu4c

icu4c may need to be linked manually if not automatically detected by CMake:

brew link --force icu4c

5. Build the Project

cmake . && make

6. Build the Documentation

doxygen Doxyfile

Usage

To transpile a JavaScript file and execute the resulting binary:

./js_cmp <input-file> && ./<output-file>

Platform Support

JS-CMP currently supports Linux and macOS platforms. While it may be possible to build on Windows using tools like WSL or Cygwin, official support and testing have not been provided for Windows environments. Contributions for Windows compatibility are welcome.
