CodeMelted DEV Newsletter (2025 #2)

[CodeMelted]

What's Happening

Since our last published newsletter there has been a lot of cleanup. For starters, the use case model was simplified after the first sharing of the newsletter brought a valid critique of it being way to complicated. It was simplified. The secondary changes was the simplification of the use case function interfaces for the codemelted.dart and codemelted.ps1 modules. More on those below.

PUBLISHED: 2025-03-17

NOTE: Currently everything is in beta (except codemelted.ps1). Do not try to use in any production environment.

Updated Use Case Model

1. A cross section was created between the five use case groups and the three modules being developed in this project.
2. Within each crossing, the individual use cases for the module / use case grouping are identified.
3. The implementation details of each of these use cases will be documented within each modules SDK documentation. See the CodeMelted DEV page for those details.

Module Updates

codemelted.dart

The codemelted.dart module was completely restructured to reflect the simplified use case structure. The source file is in the order of the use case groupings. The API was cleaned up to successfully load the codemelted.js and codemelted.wasm files from the codemelted.cpp module compile. Finally a set of codemelted_xxx() use case functions were created to map to the CodeMeltedAPI singleton module object. This is to reflect the eventual codemelted.cpp JavaScript implemented functions.

See the codemelted.dart source file for details

codemelted.cpp

Nothing new to report.

codemelted.ps1

This has had the most updates. Several use cases have been fully implemented in preparation for work to begin on the Raspberry Pi services. The script is currently deployed in the PowerShell Gallery with successful testing on Mac, Linux (Debian based), Raspberry Pi, and Windows. The use cases implemented are:

• task (Async I/O Use Cases)
• data-check (Data Use Cases)
• json (Data Use Cases)
• string-parse (Data Use Cases)
• logger (SDK Use Cases)
• runtime (SDK Use Cases)
• console (User Interface Use Cases)
• monitor (Not even implemented. I made an oops in the help file 😱
• disk (In Development, Untested)
• network (In development, fetch usable)

Check out the codemelted.ps1 source file for its implementation details.

Next Up

• Continued work on codemelted.ps1 module to support the Raspberry Pi service.
• Work begins on the Raspberry Pi service. The hardware is purchased and assembled so the page needs updating for next time.
