maiden-remote-repl

Remote REPL session for Norns Maiden.

Installation

npm install -g marden-remote-repl

Usage

• maiden-remote-repl starts the remote repl, user input is sent to Norns, and messages are sent back to the CLI
• maiden-remote-repl send [msg] sends msg as a one-off, useful for reloading script: 'maiden-remote-repl send "norns.script.load("code/APP/APP.lua")'
• you can specify the norns url with --host, for example: maiden-remote-repl --host fates.local

Tips

You can combine maiden-remote-repl send with nodemon and rsync to get live-reload experience:

1. create dev-sync.sh (assuming you're working on APP.lua):

   rsync -azP . --exclude .git --delete [e-mail]:/home/we/dust/code/APP
   maiden-remote-repl send 'norns.script.load("code/APP/APP.lua")'

2. start file watching session, for example: nodemon -e lua -x ./dev-sync.sh

Now, on every file change to lua the code is sent to Norns, and the script is restarted.
