Hello there!

I had just ported php.js (http://phpjs.org) for Node.js.
My motivation was to available new functions that could help programmers
to accomplish simple tasks and yup, I came from PHP and I was really
missing some basic functions :)

A list of functions is available at http://phpjs.org, install guide and
usage, here: https://github.com/cranic/node-phpjs.

Have an idea? Shout it out! :)

    the only idea I have is to get some torches and burn your repository down because PHPJS has the most horrible un optimized piece of javascript ever created.

    you are only limiting your ability to learn the language this way. If you want PHP, write PHP.. if want learn js, write JS not phpJS.

    Just out of curiosity, what kind of "basic" functions where you missing?

    That's ok, I had already separated some sticks and gasoline to help
    people to burn me down because of this package...
    Why everyone get scared when they read PHP in the name of the package?
    I should have name it node-bunch-of-functions :)
    There's no PHP inside this package, just similarly named functions.

    Unoptimized? Of course it is.. Did you read somewhere in my e-mail
    "production ready"?

    Come on Arnout, you know that I'm not trying to make people write
    javascript in the PHP way, for example, if you want to captalize the
    first letter of a sentence you can write a function:

    function ucfirst(str) {
    return str.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + str.substr(1);
    }

    Or you can require some package that already have this function and
    use it, but not you, of course, because that damn function is named
    exactly as a well known PHP function, so let's burn that repo down!

    Mind note: *do not* use PHP inside the name of the packages.

    I should have name it node-bunch-of-functions :)
    You exactly right! And really, in this case you can skip some phpjs
    fucntions from there,
    especially aliases like explode/implode and, IMO, unefective bcmath port.
    There is node-bigint for node.js that, i think, will better fit in node.js
    project.

    Other functions, that are usefull, like ucfirst, is a good thing to combine
    in some node.js module :)

    Even though some of the functions are surely useful, it would be better if they weren't all in the same module. Having date, math, and string functions all piled in together is a bad pattern, it would be better to package them up in separate modules (and remove functions that duplicate node standard lib). Also, fyi my single brush with php.js was to grab strtotime, only to discover it was a poor/buggy implementation, so you may not want to trust the source material.

    Due the great expectation around node.js, libs and functions grow up
    without control.

    Nowadays we have a lot of "requires" and we need to memorize a lot of
    names (fs, path, vm, ...); with time, we'll spend more and more time
    reading documentation :-(

    My proposal is incorporate the mechanism of "register" the module, for
    example, phpjs library could register the function "isset" into "utils",
    and "abs" function into "math"

    So we could have libraries well sorted !!

    Interesting... but....

    A key property of a require is the "isolation" of its product, something
    like namespaces in other languages/technologies.

    So myrequire.abs is clearly different from yourrequire.abs

    Paraphrasing David Hilbert (about Cantor)

    My proposal is incorporate the mechanism of "register" the module, for
    example, phpjs library could register the function "isset" into
    "utils", and
    "abs" function into "math"

    So we could have libraries well sorted !!

    A list of functions is available at http://phpjs.org, install guide

    Have an idea? Shout it out! :)

    Perl has this, a default export. You'll need a switch to say that you don't want

    Uh, doesn't it already work this way?
    mymodule.js:

    require('util').isset = function() ...

    That being said, don't do this, modules/namespaces are there for very
    good reason.

    A similar idea was considered by Ryan a few years ago. I think it looked like this

    import('modulename')

    All the exports are dumped by name in to the scope. There was also some copy-on-write isolate stuff in there if i remember correctly.

    It was scrapped as a bad idea for a lot of the reasons people have already mentioned. Also, the `module.exports = function () {}` pattern has become pervasive and would be really hacky to get right with this kind of feature.

    Modules are done. node.js is at a stage now where certain new ideas aren't welcome like they were a few years ago. That's just how projects evolve, some things solidify and in order to make progress elsewhere we have to reject a lot of alternative ideas.

    Perl has this, a default export. You'll need a switch to say that you don't want
    the default exports. Then you're going to need a way to remap the default
    exports. Pretty soon you're going to have Perl.

    Actually, I am you're more likely to devolve into PHP, a global namespace full
    of suprises.

    But is possible to develop a module called "namespace" to allow namespaces and a hierarchy of them. It could be a parallel developing.

    A good idea is a good idea ;-) If it works in perl .....

    But I have in mind java, not php.

    jaja, ok, by the way I mented phpjs ;-)

    Yes, isolation is and aim to achieve, but it could sort out the big
    quantity of functions that nodejs is coming to get.

    Really I have in my mind the way that Java does. That's right, it use
    namespaces, and we do so!! modules are like namespaces.

    Btw, don't mention PHP or you will get in troubles here...

    Interesting... but....

    A key property of a require is the "isolation" of its product, something
    like namespaces in other languages/technologies.

    So myrequire.abs is clearly different from yourrequire.abs

    Paraphrasing David Hilbert (about Cantor)
    "No one shall expel us from the paradise that require(...) has created for
    us"

    Hello there!

    I had just ported php.js (http://phpjs.org) for Node.js.
    My motivation was to available new functions that could help programmers
    to accomplish simple tasks and yup, I came from PHP and I was really missing
    some basic functions :)

    A list of functions is available at http://phpjs.org, install guide and
    usage, here: https://github.com/cranic/node-phpjs.

    Have an idea? Shout it out! :)
