Code Daw

Hello ng-conf! This is the very rough prototype from my talk, Making Techno Reactive with RxJS. It's not very usable, but it's a successful proof-of-concept for, within a coding music context:

  • UI elements inline with code, written in that same code
  • Combining reactive programming (RxJS) with audio programming in a simple way
  • Interfacing UI elements, timers, and audio through RxJS and WebAudio

Caveats

  • The code is bad. This app has taken a few drastic turns as an experimental project, but it deserves a full rewrite utilizing lessons learned and known goals.
  • The app is totally impractical and has bad UX. Project management, usability, documentation are all very bad.
  • No true livecoding. You can't run new code while playing.
  • Very buggy

Infrastructure, how to build, etc.

Built with React because I couldn't use Angular for inline components. This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm run test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
