[Sugar-devel] GSoC 2015: Interactive JavaScript Shell

[Richa Sehgal]

Dear Tony,

I have created a light-weight version of jsfiddle which lets user enters
HTML, CSS and JavaScript code, and when the user clicks Run method, the
code is executed. Its a very basic prototype, with no fancy design stuff,
but I will create a great design for the actual Activity that would be
integrated in Sugar.
To enable the code to run in offline mode, I have used basic HTML and JS
primitives without jquery library and so on. So it should be very easy to
just download the file and open in any browser. The code takes the HTML,
CSS and JS input and inserts it in the relevant HTML tags in the iframe DOM
(like style, etc).
There are two files - jsfiddle-prototype.html and style.css. I am not sure
what the policies of this mailing lists are for sharing files, so I would
send these separately to you. Please let me know otherwise.

I hope you like the prototype. Please send me your opinion and the next
steps in the project. I am really looking forward to have a JS Shell
Activity integrated in Sugar :)

Thanks a lot,
Richa
