Amber is an implementation of the Smalltalk language that runs on top of the JavaScript runtime. It is designed to make client-side development faster and easier.
Try Amber online and learn more on project page.
Amber is written in itself, including the parser and compiler. Amber compiles into efficient JavaScript, mapping one-to-one with the equivalent JavaScript. There is no interpretation at runtime.
Some highlights:
npm
:
@ambers/contrib-web
with a canvas to generate HTML, like Seaside, included in a new project by default,@ambers/silk
with a stream-like wrapping of DOM elements, included in a new project by default,@ambers/helios
IDE, included in a new project by default,@ambers/contrib-legacy
with smaller in-page "classic" IDE and some miscellany, included in a new project by default,@ambers/prof-stef
, containing Prof Stef interactive crash course.Amber cli tool to create new projects and assist with development tasks
is in a npm package @ambers/cli
.
Amber engine and core library to be used in projects
is in a npm package @ambers/lang
.
For the installation to work, you need to have installed node
, npm
and git
.
Default node
installers may install npm
as well.
To have git
in Windows, use Git for Windows and select "Run Git from Windows Command Prompt" and "Checkout Windows-style, commit Unix-style" installation options.
For UNIX-based OS (Linux distibutions, FreeBSD, ...) do
npm config set prefix=~/npm
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/npm/bin"
to have the installation in a local subdirectory in order to avoid the otherwise necessary sudo
installation of Amber. The export line needs to be added to the ~/.profile file as well so that after a new login the path is set.
Do this to install Amber
# Install the CLI tool `@ambers/cli` and supporting tools
npm install -g grunt-cli grunt-init @ambers/cli
Use amber init
to create a project of your own
# Initialize your project (directory must be empty)
cd /path/to/myproject
amber init
The new project has its own .gitignore
and is ready to use with git as-is.
Eg. just run git init
and your Amber project is under version control.
If you want to run Amber in older environments,
you should install additional polyfills (Promise
polyfill
is included by default) and link them up in Gruntfile.js
.
Amber officially only runs in ES5-compliant environments.
Start developing in Amber Smalltalk
# Serve amber on localhost:4000
amber serve
It must be noted this repo contains only core functionality of Amber system
as well as accompanying tooling (sdk
, grunt-init-project
and cli
).
The initial project comes with some libraries (amber/web
, domite
, silk
etc.)
included; these libraries are not part of this repo, though. You can find them either in
Amber organization or, for some of them, in their own pages:
DOMite, Silk.
