Synapse X execute

an alternative to nexure's "synapse-execute" extension

please note the script provided below must be executed or this extension wont work, putting it into auto execute is recommended

how to make it work

put the script into auto execute (recommended) or just execute it

y it better

vscode is the websocket server, that means you dont need to use old syn ui to use it nor do you need synapse ui to be running, you only need the script provided below to be executed

the extension activates once you open a lua file, unlike nexure's one, which is always activated

lua compilation errors are redirected into vscode notification system

if you put the provided script into auto execute and have auto launch turned on, you dont even need to have any synapse ui running, the client will automaticaly connect once the extension is activated and execute button will appear

when no client/synapse is running and you click execute it doesnt bork itself like nexure's one

some other features not mentioned above

when client connects or disconnects, you get a notification

when no client is connected you get a warn notification

the script

repeat wait() until game:IsLoaded()
while wait(1) do
	pcall(function()
		local ws = syn.websocket.connect("ws://localhost:33882/")
		ws:Send("auth:" .. game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
		ws.OnMessage:Connect(function(msg)
			local func, err = loadstring(msg)
			if err then
				ws:Send("compile_err:" .. err)
				return
			end
			func()
		end)
		ws.OnClose:Wait()
	end)
end

for SXv3 (too lazy to merge them)

repeat wait() until game:IsLoaded()
while wait(1) do
    pcall(function()
        local ws = WebsocketClient.new("ws://localhost:33882/")
        if not ws:Connect() then
            return
        end
        ws:Send("auth:" .. game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
        ws.DataReceived:Connect(function(msg)
            local func, err = loadstring(msg)
            if err then
                ws:Send("compile_err:" .. err)
                return
            end
            func()
        end)
        ws.ConnectionClosed:Wait()
    end)
end

maybe in future

i will maybe make this say to vscode that this is a debugger and redirect output functions (print, warn, error) into the debug console

other

dont read the source, i dont like js nor ts so dont expect it to look nice
