transformator
transformator is a event-based server for compiling jade-lang and various other languages.
Supported languages and filters
transformator uses jade, minify and transformers. transformers is a wrapper library for many languages.
How it works
transformator creates a socket (tcp or unix domain) and listens for requests. The protocol is very simple: for each request a connection must be made. Any request is a fixed-length CBOR array with three elements: name of the engine to be used, input string and a optional object containing data. The third element is only relevant for jade.
transformator then returns a CBOR hash object either with a single key result
containing the resulting output string or a single key error containing an
error message. The connection will be immediately closed.
How to use
transformator comes as a command-line tool called transformator. It
accepts three forms of arguments:
-
<port-number>Bind the socket to localhost and listen at specifed port
-
<bind-address><port-number>Bind the socket to specified address/hostname
-
<path/to/unix/domain/socket>Do not use TCP/IP but unix domain socket
