Creating EOS Teases with Code

[Yaquiluna]

Is there a way to create EOS Webteases with code instead of the EOS GUI? Developing web teases with for example only Typescript would make the process a lot faster for me.

Thx in advance

Well it is just a json file, you can modify or generate that.
Would be nice to have a typescript API for that, but should not be too difficult to make one.

Oh I did not consider that, that’s awesome. Yea then I'll make a DSL for that.

Just out of curiosity, what languages would you guys appreciate? I am mainly thinking of Typescript and Kotlin, maybe Scala

I actually makes more sense to create a intermediate layer that allows everybody to extend the DSL in their favourite language.

Well, I love Scala. But probably Type Script is the most accessible and if you have some basic API in Type Script you can build on it in a lot of languages and also run it in a browser easily.

The one thing that might be a little more complicated is dealing with images and audio files. They are referenced by a checksum. I guess it is easy enough to figure out which one that is, but the image have to be uploaded once so the system knows them. So I guess one could build a tool that builds the json file from some DSL and a folder of referenced images. And then the user just has to upload the images once and then they can just upload the generated json file.

Would be great to make that available as a webapp as well.

Done! With the help of Claude Code I've created a TypeScript EOS Webtease DSL in a couple of hours. I've decided to use TypeScript because using JavaScript in Kotlin/Scala would've probably felt really awkward. But maybe when I'm too fed up with TypeScript in the future I'm going to also create a Kotlin/Scala DSL.
