MicroPython transmuted into Javascript (WASM) by Emscripten.
Official Repo https://github.com/micropython/micropython/tree/master/ports/javascript
Testing and Contribution Needed, feel free to make an issue or even better, a PR
- New Async/Await or Promise API
- New Python classes to expose JS API and Objects like DOM API, XHR, Node.JS require, and etc
On Node.JS console
const mp_js = require('micropython');
mp_js.init(64 * 1024);
mp_js.do_str("print('hello world')\n");
On production/actual code use AsyncFunction or Promise to get the guaranteed result
(async () => { //AsyncFunction
const mp_js = await require('micropython');
mp_js.init(64 * 1024);
await mp_js.do_str("variable1 = {'data1': 1}");
await mp_js.do_str("variable1.get('data1')"); //Access variables from the previous event loop
})();
Running MicroPython on Webpack is a little bit tricky. It expects the firmware.wasm file at /static/js/firmware.wasm. So a simple solution is to make static and js folder on webpack's public directory and put firmware.wasm on it. (PR is accepted for a better solution)
mkdir -p public/static/js
cp node_modules/micropython/lib/firmware.wasm public/static/js
And import it on your Javascript file
import mp_js from 'micropython';
(async () => {
await mp_js;
mp_js.init(64 * 1024);
mp_js.do_str("print('hello world')\n");
})();
The following functions have been exposed to javascript.
init(stack_size)
Initialize MicroPython with the given stack size in bytes. This must be called before attempting to interact with MicroPython.
do_str(code)
Execute the input code. code
must be a string
. Returns a promise resulting an stdout.
init_repl()
Initialize MicroPython repl. Must be called before entering characters into the repl.
process_char(char)
Input character into MicroPython repl. char
must be of type number
. This
will execute MicroPython code when necessary.
init_python(stack_size)
NEW!! This function execute js.py to expose JS API to Python, even some helper function and experimental asynchronous queue/stack logic. Example:
import mp_js from 'micropython';
(async () => {
await mp_js;
await mp_js.init_python(64 * 1024);
await mp_js.do_str(`
import js
#This function executes every line one by one and await promise if it returns a promise
exec("""
require = JS('require')
fetch = require('node-fetch') #Or do JS('window.fetch') on browser
response = fetch('https://github.com')
response = wait(response) #This is the 'await' equivalent
result = response.text()
result = wait(result)
print(result) #Print the resulting HTML
""")
`);
})();
