Abstract App To Source Code

This project aims to make web app development easier with the 'write once, produce many' principle. This means developers should not be hindered by creating cross platform apps by only knowing one framework.

What can it do?

At current the framework is capable of converting an app written in python with some limitations into human readable and functional code as a web app and an electron app. It contains a simplistic MongoDB integration that can be used across multiple web and desktop clients. Check out my blog post I have written about the project here.

Who is this for?

This project is aimed at developers who want to create cross platform apps but do not want to learn multiple frameworks. The framework uses python and abstracts a lot of database operations away from the developer, this means it is perfect for those just learning how to code or want something simple to get started with.

Installation

As the tool is written in JavaScript is requires node.js to be installed on your machine. To install node.js go to nodejs.org and download the latest version for your machine.

To install the tool download the package from npm by running the following command:

npm i abstract-app-to-source

I recommend installing the package globally so you can use the tool from anywhere:

npm i abstract-app-to-source -g

The package requires that you have python installed on your machine. If you do not have python installed you can download it from here.

Once you have python installed you will need to install the JavaScripthon package. To do this run the following command:

pip install javascripthon

Usage
