Compiling user code in browser with host packages
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11995458B1) outlines a method for compiling user code in a browser executing on a local computing device. The method involves retrieving the user code and its dependencies on host packages of a host application, transforming, compiling, and bundling the user code using a bundler in the browser. The compiled bundle is then provided as an output. The method includes importing each host package by creating a property of a global window object of the browser and compiling the user code as an extension of the host application to utilize the host packages in an already compiled form.
Furthermore, the patent details additional features such as normalizing the host package name, creating a pseudo file system for retrieving user code files, and compiling user styles separately from the host application styles. The method also involves bundling the user styles and importing them as new style elements. The patent also covers a computing device and a non-transitory electronic device readable medium configured to execute the method for compiling user code, with specific emphasis on handling Typescript, Javascript, SASS, and CSS within the compilation process. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive approach to efficiently compile user code in a browser environment, enhancing the development process for web applications.
