triple

REPL for Titanium. Inspired heavily by node.js's own repl.

Features

• Full access to Titanium API
• Command history (↑,↓)
• Multi-line statements
• Color-coded return values, by type
• Much more coming (see enhancements)

Install

$ npm install -g triple

Usage

$ triple
[creating app]
[loading app]
> alert('hello, world!');

You can also load in Javascript files from the command line, either locally or from a URL:

$ triple ./app.js

$ triple http://bit.ly/1zc7Nvo

You can also load with a delay which will load each command line-by-line in the console so you can see the return value of each line of code.

$ triple http://bit.ly/1zc7Nvo 2000

Native Modules

Titanium native modules must be loaded when you initiate triple. Modules must be installed globally for triple to be able to find them.

$ triple --module ti.paint,another.module

Triple commands

Triple includes a few commands to control its operations. These must be preceded by the dot (.) to be recognized as commands.

• .exit -- exits the REPL
• .load -- load a JavaScript file from local path or URL
• .save filespec -- saves your history
• .clear -- clear memory and reset the simulator/emulator

.load

Load a series of Titanium JavaScript statements from a local file or URL:

.load filespec [delay]

where filespec is a local path or URL and delay is an optional delay (milliseconds) to add between the execution of each command.

Example:

$ triple
[creating app]
[loading app]
> .load myDemo.js 1000

.save

Save your history to a file:

.save filespec

where filespec is a path and file name. If the path is omitted, the current directory is assumed. For example:

$ triple
[creating app]
[loading app]
> var w = Ti.UI.createWindow();
undefined
> w.open();
undefined
> w.backgroundColor = 'red';
'red'
> .save ./myTripleLog.js

Support

The following is the only configuration for which this has been tested so far:

• Mac OSX 10.9.4
• iOS 7.1 + simulator
• Titanium SDK 3.2.3+

Support for all of Appcelerator's supported platforms is planned. Windows OS support is planned as well.

Known Issues

this.Kroll

Trying to inspect this.Kroll on iOS will cause a fatal error. This is due to the fact that this.Kroll is not a genuine Javascript object. It will be skipped if your inspect this, and it will crash the app if you try to inspect it directly.
