library18.3.8jsnpmunverified

Interim compiler step for Paperclip, a visual programming language. Current stable version 18.3.8. Acts as an intermediate representation layer between Paperclip engines and output compilers like React. Bundles AST transformations and provides a uniform interface for compiler backends. Differentiates by being part of the Paperclip ecosystem, designed for multi-target code generation with a focus on UI components. Release cadence is tied to Paperclip monorepo releases, roughly monthly.

Install & Compatibility

Where this runs

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

InterimCompiler

✓ import { InterimCompiler } from 'paperclip-interim'

✗ const { InterimCompiler } = require('paperclip-interim')

ESM-only since v18. CommonJS require will fail.

InterimCompiler (default)

✓ import InterimCompiler from 'paperclip-interim'

✗ import { default } from 'paperclip-interim'

Default export also available for convenience, but named export is preferred for tree-shaking.

InterimNode

✓ import { InterimNode } from 'paperclip-interim'

✗ import InterimNode from 'paperclip-interim'

InterimNode is a type export, available from named exports for TypeScript usage.

Shows basic usage of InterimCompiler with an existing engine and serialization of the intermediate representation.

import { InterimCompiler } from 'paperclip-interim'; import { existingEngine } from './engine'; // hypothetical const compiler = new InterimCompiler(existingEngine); console.log(compiler.toString()); // serialized IR

Debug

Known issues

gotchaInterimCompiler constructor expects an engine instance; passing a string will throw silently.

fix

Ensure first argument is a compatible Paperclip engine object.

affects: >=18.0

gotchatoString() method may produce undefined if not preprocessed; check engine state.

fix

Run engine's compile() before accessing InterimCompiler's output methods.

affects: >=18.0

deprecatedInterimCompiler.serialize() is deprecated in v18, use toString() instead.

fix

Replace serialize() calls with toString().

affects: >=18.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: InterimCompiler is not a constructor

Using CommonJS require() in ESM-only package.

fix

Use import { InterimCompiler } from 'paperclip-interim' or ensure your module system is ESM.

Cannot find module 'paperclip-interim'

Package not installed or missing from dependencies.
