Now I will explain what we have set up, this will be directly about this configuration for using the d8 tool, if you want to read all the possible configurations for a custom Sublime build tool you can see it here on Sublime's official Build Tool Docs.Īt the top of our setting file we have our default / root build configuration, and you can see the command here is targeting the full path to the d8 binary with the file argument. Ok once you saved the file you should be able to see the new 'V8' Build in the menu we looked at early. This will bring up a new build system file in the Sublime Editor and will have contents something like is your account and presuming your using Sublime Text 3. Ok, to create a new Build System we click on 'New Build System.' below the last item on that list just seen. You will see the V8 Highlihted at the bottom of the list. You will see all the build systems that are currently avaiable to sublime either by default or extension. In Sublime if you go through the tools menu to the build tools

For any file you have open you can choose to build it with the build tool of your choice adding new ones to sublime to run any command on your opertaing system, one that works for that code obviously. I am not sure how much you know about the extensibility of Sublime, but this is one of the reasons I love it. Here is a great wrapper for those natives. Something Kevin Cennis mentions in his article is the availability of use of some of the D8's native methods that you can use in your code when testing / profiling. This article will not go heavily into the capabilities of the D8 tool but it is very useful for much more than we will set up here, ie profiling, examining the garbage collection and a lot more.īelow are some resources for you to follow up on for the usage of D8 Amongst the list at the top you will notice some of those we will be using to enable our sublime build to use variants of the feature sets for V8 engine. You can check that brew has installed this by running d8 -helpĪgain this will list all the options available for the d8 tool.

We are actually going to use D8 (Debug8) which is V8's own minimalist debug shell and is installed with V8. This will display all the possible options for the v8 command line tool. To check this is installed we then run the command. Note: If you are testing bleeding edge release it is recommended that you ensure you keep this formula up to date. This is done simply by running the following command at the command prompt in the terminal of your choice. We are going to use Homebrew to install the V8 Formula. Note: Unless stated all of the following has been completed in OSX, I can not verify all this will work on an other operating systems.

The instructions below will show how to install the engine via Homebrew and then add the Sublime Build for the default shipped harmony V8 release and then with that build variants for different levels of features in the engine. I have a project structered like you see below I actually use an NPM project on github for all my workings, tests and understanding of capabilities in each context. More information can be found on V8's public wiki.' V8 can run standalone, or can be embedded into any C++ application.

It implements ECMAScript as specified in ECMA-262, and runs on Windows 7 or later, macOS 10.5+, and Linux systems that use IA-32, ARM, or MIPS processors. 'V8 is Google’s open source high-performance JavaScript engine, written in C++ and used in Google Chrome, the open source browser from Google, and in Node.js, among others. If your asking what is the V8 Javascript Engine, in short it is what executes your Javascript in the Chrome Browser but then this is from Google themselves You can play with upcoming features using transpilers such as Babel but I wanted a way to very quickly test features directly against the V8 Javascript engine and being an avid user of Sublime Text I wanted to set it up to be able to use the V8 Javascript engine as a build tool.

I am always wanting to play with new features or test my learnings of various ECMA Specification features.
