Create an elementary prototype

[julienetie]

This prototype demonstrates the following key concepts:

1. Zig Application with QuickJS Integration:

   • A Zig program that leverages QuickJS through its C bindings to execute JavaScript code.
   • The application seamlessly interoperates with QuickJS, enabling dynamic scripting capabilities within a high-performance Zig environment.

2. User-Defined JavaScript Scripting:

   • A user-provided JavaScript function that takes data as input, manipulates it, and returns the transformed result.
   • This showcases how custom logic can be injected into the system using vanilla JavaScript, providing flexibility for end-users.

3. Dynamic HTML Generation:

   • The manipulated data is used to generate a static HTML file, demonstrating how user scripts can influence the final output.
   • This step highlights the integration of data processing and static site generation, a core feature of the system.

Purpose and Scope

While this prototype is not exhaustive or a fully realistic representation of Bonita, it serves as a proof of concept for how Bonita will utilize user-created JavaScript to manipulate static sites. Specifically, it illustrates:

• The ability to embed and execute user scripts within a Zig application.
• The seamless flow of data between Zig and JavaScript, enabling dynamic content manipulation.
• The generation of static HTML files based on processed data, showcasing the end-to-end workflow.

This prototype lays the groundwork for Bonita's vision of empowering users to customize and enhance static sites through JavaScript scripting, all within a performant and secure Zig-based environment.
