Getting Started

NectarJS is a SAAS js cross-compiler. You can compile JS for Windows, Linux, Mac, Arduino or STM32 boards.

Install NectarJS

You need NodeJS to use NectarJS : https://nodejs.org/en/download/.
Once done, open a shell and install NectarJS with NPM :
$ npm install -g nectarjs
Verify is NectarJS is well installed :
$ nectar --version
You need a key to use NectarJS. This key is used to encrypt and protect your code while it's compiled (AES256).
Once done, set your key in NectarJS :
nectar --setid MY_ID
nectar --setkey MY_KEY

Compilation

The simplest way to use NectarJS is :
nectar file.js
The output file name will be automatically choosen regarding the target. You can specify another output with :
-o my_app.out
You can select a target for compilation with :
--target [THE TARGET]
You can select a preset regarding what do you want to optimize: speed or size (or none)
nectar --preset speed file.js
The --single argument launch the compilation of the file in argument. If you need to require('') file in your current folder, you need to remove --single to switch to project mode.
NectarJS can run directly your application after compilation if you specify --run. The program will be executed only if the --target match your system.
For more informations about compilation output, use --verbose
For help, use --help

Check syntax

You can only check syntax without compilation with argument --check. Example :
$ nectar --single my_file.js --check

Project management

if --single is not specified, NectarJS will create a project.json file in the project directory.
You can create a project.json file without compilation with : nectar --prepare file.js
To show a project configuration : nectar --project in the project folder or nectar --project /path/to/projet.json
To compile a project, simply call nectar project.json
