Basically, the goal is to provide your users a way to customize, automate, create new features for your product. Just like an open-source community, but without the barrier of code.
Here's the homepage of the project: https://luna-park.app And a small tutorial for visual scripting: https://luna-park.app/challenge
However, most our use cases would be in PHP apps. I see that you’re working on a code generation API. Would that be the step necessary for generating the PHP invokable code?
Honestly wondering if this will even compile locally without your .npmrc file and npm creds...
I can see that your library has a bunch of dependencies on other libraries you've published like "editor", but these don't seem to be accessible on NPM. Honestly wondering if this will even compile locally without your .npmrc file and npm creds...
The "real" dependencies are FontAwesome (icons), Vue, Pinia (vue store) and Synth Color (a custom package I made to generate color schemes)
In short, the editor is already compiled. So you just need to install the package, it will automatically download the peer dependencies, as any NPM package.
I made a small demo repo here: https://github.com/lunapark/demo (you might need to update the package.json file to point to the actual version of Luna Park thought)
This is extremely cool but I'm a bit confused on the licensing/source/pricing story.
Basically, the editor is free. You can use it in your app and logic created can be executed by interpretation.
But the compilation of the logic into plain JS will be a paid option. You'll need it if you want to trigger the logic in a performant/headless way.

For now, the generated code is in JS, so you'll need Node.js to execute it. Though, it could have other target languages. I keep in mind the PHP usecase, I'll see if/when I can implement this.
In the meantime, you can create custom nodes that call PHP routes of your app. Not the most performant way of doing it, but it should work.

Is Luna based on behave-graph?
Nitpicking about the package: is a not a valid HTML tag. You can use or
How does this compare to the open source behave-graph library? https://github.com/bhouston/behave-graph Is Luna based on behave-graph?
I admit I did not know behave-graph. It's built on the same node-based visual scripting vision, so there are a lot of similarities.
Though, a few key things I did not see in behave-graph that Luna Park provide are:
- create custom nodes with other nodes using functions
- generate standalone JS code
- type and value inspection at runtime
- a lot more nodes
- and a few others features (integrated documentation, node customization, inspector, console, etc...)
In short, behave-graph seems like a lite weight version of Luna Park.
