Project Description - Simple to Embed: JavaScript Support

[LadyNaggaga]

Suggestion from @jskeet
Reference: Product Roadmap Review

Feedback: For Noda Time, I wrote a horribly hacky bit of JavaScript for the various interactions with the server. None of this was complicated, or it wouldn't exist - my command of JavaScript is pretty dire. But it makes sense to avoid wheel reinvention: the Try.NET project could provide the JavaScript to make all of this work with very little effort on the part of the site developer wanting to embed Try.NET.

• Try .NET embed content embed content degrades gracefully when Try .NET is unavailable
• Code execution caching

If it's useful to see the code that I've got, it's here: https://github.com/nodatime/nodatime/blob/335de575f51912a45adf70fcef6a8a5dcd09595f/src/NodaTime.Web/wwwroot/js/trydotnet.js

Try not to laugh too hard ;)

@jskeet , @LadyNaggaga Now that we publish js api is worth reviewing this issue.

[jskeet]

Definitely very happy to give this a go when I can, although it won't be for a couple of weeks, I expect :(

[jskeet]

Is there documentation for using the JS API from a regular web application? Most of the docs I've seen are for the dotnet try command (understandably!) rather than embedding in a web application.

This isn't documented yet.

Hi, @colombod is there any news on this, I would love to use trydotnet, but because the trydotnet.js is closed for public its currenlty quite hard, the only way is really to do something what jskeet did.

Same deal, even basic docs on how one could use the online .Net interactive on their own docs site would be greatly appreciated.
