Create a Processing Library (add-on)

[cvalenzuela]

Instead of repeating the same functions to stream data in and out of Processing ideally, we should have a Runway Processing library that installs and manages all connections and I/O

[clankill3r]

I just wanted to mention that i'm working on it.
Not sure if I make it a library, I'm a fan lately of making libraries as a single file and I think a single file should not be packed into a jar. But for now that is not really an important detail.

I have been making a base64 encoded and decoder. I know java has one, but I don't like the java libraries (sorry for the negativity here (I do like runway!)).

So far I made a public PImage loadImage_base64(String base64) { that at the moment only supports png cause I just finished.

Supporting the other formats should be quite easy (jpg, tiff, tga).

Later more.

Hey @clankill3r! That sounds great and perfect timing! We should definitely connect your efforts with what @orgicus has been building. Check out the Processing library thread here: https://runwayml.slack.com/archives/CA6KJNE6N/p1569533452001900?thread_ts=1563545220.109400&cid=CA6KJNE6N

We were just discussing moving this conversation to GitHub: https://github.com/runwayml/processing-library

Hi @cvalenzuela It is not possible to see the slack discussion. If you have an @runwayml.com email address, you can create an account. , I can't see it with my normal slack account.

@clankill3r That sounds great, super aligned with what Cris and I have been working on.

Fingers crossed I'll get a chance to cleanup and send PRs this weekend.

In the meantime, you can see WIP here: https://github.com/orgicus/processing-library/tree/develop/src/com/runwayml , but it pulled into https://github.com/runwayml/processing-library soon.

Regarding Base64 decoding, loadImage() already does that:

It doesn't do encoding as far as I know though.

I do agree with not bloating library with many dependency jars, which is why I dropped Apache Commons Codecs library for the built-in javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter for Base64 encoding/decoding.

I do see the point of simply having another tab with a single Runway java class (a-la fadecandy as an example) but for beginners there are a couple of nice things with the .jar version:

1. Library can easily be installed via Contribution Manager
2. Examples are a keyboard shortcut away (Ctrl+Shift+O / CMD+Shift+O in Contributed Libraries)
3. New users don't have to worry about manually copy/pasting a file in every sketch

and the point of Processing libraries is to further simplify integration.

On the development side it also allows the use of an IDE (eclipse in this case) with better features than the Processing editor and short simple easy to maintain snippets of code can be organised in multiple files as opposed to a potentially harder to maintain monolithic single text file.

I did add okhttp as a dependency though and may add a socket.io one later.
We could save time on socket.io integration if you're interested, otherwise open to suggestions/contributions of course

But it does not work, also in the processing source code I can't see that it handles base64.
