    I am looking to write some stuff for SAynchronet and have a background in C, BASIC, Python, etc. Is there a barebones "skeleton" code somewhere in Js that I could tinker with that has basic fundamentals to test/learn with?ããThank you!ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ SiliconUnderground - Rochester, NY - siliconu.comã

That's how I started writing JS scripts for Synchronet.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

    Re: Learning JS with Synchronetã By: Nightfox to Massacre on Thu Nov 05 2020 01:09 pmããHi Nightfox,ããI'm using DDMsgReader, DDMsgAreaChooser on my Synchronet, and I really like them. I had a feature request for DDMsgReader. ããWould it be possible allow different text colors to be set for Quotes, Message Text, Kludge, and Orgin lines? I'd like to be able to color the quoted text differently from the message text, and also the Kludge line and orgin lines seperately as well. Sort of like how Mystic does it. I poked around in the themeconfig, but it doesn't seem to be supported currently.ããI'm using 1.144 2020/07/11.ãã|01bobbobbobbob|09bob|03bob|11bob|03bob|09bob|01bobbobbobã|01robrobrobrob|09rob|03rob|11rob|03rob|09rob|01robrobrobã|07ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Halls of Valhalla <> San Francisco <> hovalbbs.comã

    Would keep the Synchronet JavaScript Object Model reference bookmarked.

    http://www.synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html

    Most of that is pretty easy to understand... would look in the various
    JS files in exec/load etc.... anything you edit, just put in an
    sbbs/mods/ directory, which will load in practice ahead of the exec paths.

    For general JavaScript, would take a look at Eloquent JavaScript.

    https://eloquentjavascript.net/

    I wouldn't consider the modules section much, as Synchronet doesn't
    follow either CommonJS or ESM modules, it predates them both. The Asynchronous programming part also doesn't apply to Synchronet.

    Synchronet uses, iirc, SpiderMonkey 1.8.5 engine, which should be all of
    ES5 (2009), with a couple bits from ES6/ES2015 that were in development
    (very little)... so you may come across unsupported methods or syntax in practice looking at other JS code.
