The Google Closure library is a powerful JavaScript framework and includes features which are also interesting outside of a browser environment,
e.g. implementations of common algorithms (encryption, geometry, time and date handling, ...), data structures (tries, pools, priority queues, ...)
and support for functional programming. node-goog
aims at making these features available on the Node.js platform.
-
You will need a separate installation of Google's Closure Library.
-
node-goog
itself is available as an npm package:npm install goog
Or, get the source, fiddle around with it and install
node-goog
locally:git clone git://github.com/hsch/node-goog.git cd node-goog npm link
-
Include
node-goog
in your application through Node's standard mechanism:var goog = require( 'goog' ).goog;
-
Import any namespace from Google Closure like you would in a browser-based application:
goog.require( 'goog.structs.Trie' );
-
Hack on!
var trie = new goog.structs.Trie();
-
Start your application. Set
CLOSURE_BASE_PATH
according to your own configuration:CLOSURE_BASE_PATH=~/opt/closure-library/closure/goog/ node example.js
