# deno

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/propelml/deno.svg?token=eWz4oGVxypBGsz78gdKp&branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/propelml/deno)

A JavaScript runtime using V8 6.8 and Go.

* Supports TypeScript 2.8 out of the box.

* No package.json, no npm. Not backwards compatible with Node.

* Imports reference source code URLs only.
	```
  import { test } from "https://unpkg.com/deno_testing@0.0.5/testing.ts"
  import { log } from "./util.ts"
	```

* File system and network access can be controlled in order to run sandboxed
  code. Defaults to read-only file system access. Access between V8
  (unprivlaged) and Golang (privlaged) is only done via serialized messages
  defined in this protobuf: https://github.com/ry/deno/blob/master/msg.proto
  This makes it easy to audit.

* Single executable:
	```
	> ls -lh deno
	-rwxrwxr-x 1 ryan ryan 55M May 28 23:46 deno
	> ldd deno

## Compile instructions

I will release binaries at some point but for now you have to build it
yourself.

You need Protobuf 3. On Linux this might work:
```
cd ~
wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v3.1.0/protoc-3.1.0-linux-x86_64.zip
unzip protoc-3.1.0-linux-x86_64.zip
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
```

Then you need `protoc-gen-go` and `go-bindata` and other deps:
```
go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go
go get -u github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/...
go get -u ./...
```

Installing `v8worker2` is time consuming, because it requires building V8. It
may take about 30 minutes:
```
go get -u github.com/ry/v8worker2
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ry/v8worker2
./build.py --use_ccache
```

You might also need Node and Yarn.

Finally the dependencies are installed.

Now you can build deno and run it:
```
> make
[redacted]
> ./deno testdata/001_hello.js
Hello World
>
```

## make commands

```bash
make deno # Builds the deno executable

make test # Runs the tests.

make fmt # Formats the code.

make clean # Cleans the build.
```
