How to implement Ruby on Node.js/Javascript

I am looking to implement 'https://github.com/LIFX/lifx-gem' commands on a Node.js server and was wondering how to complete this task.

My basic question is more generic: how to implement or inject Ruby code in a JavaScript environment.

Solution

  • To be clear, Ruby is a backend server-side language and Node.js uses JavaScript as the backend server-side language. Unfortunately, I don't believe you can run Ruby code in a JavaScript environment unless you have some sort of compiler to convert Ruby code to JavaScript code.

    Your best bet would be to see if there is an equivalent implementation of that Gem as a NPM module.
