I would like to load some javascript files into the Swift
REPL. How can that be done? My attempt is launching
swift
from a directory containing the javascript files and then executing
import Foundation
let js = "jquery.min"
if let fileURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: js, withExtension: "js") {
print("found \(js)")
} else {
print("Try another day")
}
Naturally we see
Try another day
Is there any way to load resources/files in the REPL?
I have expanded the code as follows:
import UIKit
import Foundation
func getResources(_ subDir:String? = nil, _ ext: String? = nil)->[URL]? {
return Bundle.main.urls(forResourcesWithExtension: ext, subdirectory: subDir)
}
let furls: String = {
if let fileURLs = getResources(nil, nil) {
print(fileURLs)
return("found \(fileURLs.map{$0.absoluteString}.joined(separator: "\n"))")
} else {
return("Try another day")
}
}()
The point here is to see exactly what are the files in the playground. Apparently none of the project files are included
So there would be no way to access the .js
files - or any other ones for that matter. This is in contrast to say scala
repl that has full access to the enclosing project.
