compile-code

A Node module to compile code from different languages using NodeJS. Useful for making online compilers

Currently supported languages:

- C
- C++
- Python3
- Java

If you want a open-source online API service which compiles your code, checkout my other project compile-code-docker which takes this module and creates a ExpressJS API server inside a docker container where you can send your code to get compiled and get back the output.

Getting started

Download the module from npm

npm i compile-code

Include the module into your code as

const compiler = require('compile-code');

Documentation

The module provides two functions:

• compiler.init()

  • This function must be run, before using the compile() function. It creates a folder named tmpcode where the code is stored and compiled.

• compiler.compile(code, source, input, callback)

  • Parameters:

    • code (Integer): Enter the code of the language you want to compile in.

      Language	Code
      C	1
      C++	2
      Python3	3
      Java	4

    • source (String): Enter the source code which you want to compile

    • input (String): Enter the input which you want to give to the code. Pass a blank string if there is no input

    • callback (Function): The callback function to handle the result. The callback function takes these parametes

      • data (Object)
        • stdout: Contains the output. Empty if there is a error.
        • stderr: Contains the error message if there are any

Example

A example program to print Hello World in C:

const compiler = require('compile-code');
 
compiler.init()
 
compiler.compile(1, '#include<stdio.h>\n int main() {printf("Hello Wolrd"); return 0;}', "", (data) => {
    console.log(data);
})

Output:

{ 
  stdout: 'Hello Wolrd', 
  stderr: null 
 }
