Introduction

This is a binding to the ECLiPSe Constraint programming system for javascript. It interfaces with prolog using the C++ interface provided by ECLiPSe.

Setting up

• Install node.js - http://nodejs.org/
• Install ECLiPSe Constraint programming system - http://eclipseclp.org/
• The path to eclipse.dll must be available on your path. This is located at eclipse_installation_path/lib/i386_nt
• Get the source code git clone git://github.com/danielconnor/node-eclipse-clp.git
• Set up and build the module npm install

Usage

var
  // load the eclipse module
  eclipse = require("node-eclipse-clp"),
  assert = require("assert");


// initialse the prolog environment and make sure it succeeds
assert.equal(eclipse.init(), eclipse.status.EC_succeed);

// create a reference to a new functor
var writeln = new eclipse.Functor("writeln", 1);

// create a compound term consisting of the functor, writeln, and the argument which is a string.
var compound = eclipse.term(writeln, "hello world");

eclipse.post_goal(compound);

eclipse.resume();

// cleanup the prolog environment
eclipse.cleanup();
