Async repl #106
Async repl #106
Conversation
to allow control-C to interrupt current task in async repl. Signed-off-by: Peter Chubb <[email protected]>
This allows interaction via the serial port, and on-the-fly update of
the webserver's routing rules.
For example one can do:
```
import asyncio
from microdot.microdot import URLPattern, Response
def add_action(app, url, action):
p = URLPattern(url)
app.url_map = [(['GET'], p, action)] + app.url_map
```
to add new rules for the main webserver app.

Seems like a good idea to me, given that it's completely optional. The main limitation I see is that it needs the script that you are running to allow use aiorepl, but I guess that's a limitation with MicroPython itself and not this PR. I'll play around with the PR and see how well it works. |

One question I have is, is there anyway to stop a script that's running if you're in the async REPL? |
From the async repl, it feels (almost) exactly the same as a standard repl, except that other things are running in the background. You can either set it up to share the initial context (as I did) or to have its own. If it has the initial context, then you can do: to stop the webserver. If you start new coroutines from the repl, you can use all asyncio's methods to control them |

Okay, is there any reason why this is a draft? |
|
We need to start documenting what sub-set of MicroPython features we support. This being one of them. |
This is a straw-man proof of concept. It allows interacting with a REPL for examples/webserver on the qemu_virt_aarch64 platform
I can create a file 'extra.py' on the NFS server, that contains:
Then on the commandline do:
Then visiting the webserver's
/fooprints out the counter value.It'd be trivial to extend to deleting the path and modifying existing ones.
The Asyncio repl is a bit limited compared with the standard one: the biggest limitation is one can use only single line commands.
If this is considered a good idea, I'll add it to the other webserver example platforms.
