    • Answers the most Frequently Asked Questions.
    • Does not cover generic type logic in detail. Instead we prefer to teach simple troubleshooting techniques for newbies.

The Super Tiny Compiler

Welcome to The Super Tiny Compiler!

This is an ultra-simplified example of all the major pieces of a modern compiler written in easy to read JavaScript.

Reading through the guided code will help you learn about how most compilers work from end to end.

Why should I care?

That's fair, most people don't really have to think about compilers in their day jobs. However, compilers are all around you, tons of the tools you use are based on concepts borrowed from compilers.

But compilers are scary!

Yes, they are. But that's our fault (the people who write compilers), we've taken something that is reasonably straightforward and made it so scary that most think of it as this totally unapproachable thing that only the nerdiest of the nerds are able to understand.

Okay so where

GrapesJS

GrapesJS is a free and open source Web Builder Framework which helps building HTML templates, faster and easily, to be delivered in sites, newsletters or mobile apps. Mainly, GrapesJS was designed to be used inside a CMS to speed up the creation of dynamic templates. To better understand this concept check the image below


GrapesJS - Style Manager


Generally any 'template system', that you'd find in various applications like CMS, is composed by the structure (HTML), style (CSS) and variables, which are then replaced with other templates and contents on server-side and rendered on client.

This demos show examples of what is possible to achieve:

10. A Single Div

CSS drawings with only one HTML element.

GitHub logo lynnandtonic / a-single-div

🎨 CSS drawings with only one HTML element.

A Single Div

Build

npm i
npm start

Whuut

This is a fun, little project to see how much can be accomplished with CSS. Every drawing consists of a single HTML element (in this case, the beloved div).

But, but!

Yes, this isn't super practical.

Yes, SVG is an easier and better medium for illustrations.

Yes, browser support is not broad.

Yes, it is super fun to do this anyway. ;)

Project Details

This project uses a combination of Pug for templating and Stylus for CSS preprocessing.

Sharing

Copy paste as much as you'd like, edit it, experiment. If you reuse a significant portion of CSS or full drawings, credit would be appreciated! Thanks!

Contributions

I'm currently not taking any outside contributions. I encourage you to share your single divs on codepen.io or your own site! Tweet at me if you do!
