Standalone GLSP web editor example

[umar-shabbir]

The Platform Integrations section in the documentation mentions links to GLSP integration examples, but the last point in the list is plain text whereas all others are links to the respective examples.

• Creating a standalone GLSP web editor based on plain javascript

Does it mean there is no example available for GLSP standalone integration in some javascript/typescript web app?

Though I have already looked at workflow-standalone and a discussion here: #840

Are there any other resources that may help integrating GLSP client in an existing web app (frontend javascript/typescript), and integrating the GLSP server in an existing backend (node javascript/typescript) app ?

Thank you for bringing that up!

The links are pointing to the integration repositories for Theia, VS Code and Eclipse. I guess we didn't put a link for the Standalone because there is no dedicated integration necessary for standalone and it is part of the glsp-client repo.

But you are right, we should still link it for consistency and clarify. I'll open a PR.

And regarding examples: Yes there is an example:
https://github.com/eclipse-glsp/glsp-client/tree/master/examples/workflow-standalone

Thanks again!

Yes, I did see this workflow-standalone example as I have mentioned in my post. But this example part of the repo is not a minimal one and it uses a workflow-server implementation which is also not very basic.

I was looking for a minimal example, which one can start from installing the packages from npm (client, server, anything else), and the required code for lets say adding a single rectangle node on a web page. Ideally, the standalone integration in some web project should not have a dependency on the eclipse-glsp-examples repository, rather it should drive the implementation from the client and server packages.

I see, I don't think we have a dedicated minimal standalone example, beyond the workflow example.
The project templates are all geared towards a specific integration (Theia, VS Code, Eclipse).

Having said that, however, the VS Code integration essentially contains a minimal example to some degree:
https://github.com/eclipse-glsp/glsp-examples/tree/master/project-templates/node-json-vscode/tasklist-vscode/webview

Also, there is the this repo: https://github.com/Sakrafux/glsp-browser-standalone-integration/tree/main
Contains browser-only examples that may be helpful.

Beyond that, I'm not aware of existing examples.
