Research direction

The issue names no source file or test; begin by reproducing the Python example and checking the compiler's available output options. Done means an option can produce the requested plain JavaScript without the generated runtime import or module definition, with the result verified for this example.

Description

STATE: under consideration

I'm trying to compile a single function for use as argument into Browserless, a headless Chrome instance.

# Python src
async def action():
    def resolver(resolve, reject):
        totalHeight = 0
        distance = 100

        def scroller():
            scrollHeight = document.body.scrollHeight
            window.scrollBy(0, distance)
            totalHeight += distance

            if totalHeight >= scrollHeight:
                clearInterval(timer)
                resolve()

        timer = setInterval(scroller, 100)

    await __new__ (Promise(resolver))

Compiles to:

// Transcrypt'ed from Python, 2019-09-20 11:52:53

var __name__ = '__main__';
export var action = async function () {
	var resolver = function (resolve, reject) {
		var totalHeight = 0;
		var distance = 100;
		var scroller = function () {
			var scrollHeight = document.body.scrollHeight;
			window.scrollBy (0, distance);
			totalHeight += distance;
			if (totalHeight >= scrollHeight) {
				clearInterval (timer);
				resolve ();
			}
		};
		var timer = setInterval (scroller, 100);
	};
	await new Promise (resolver);
};

//# sourceMappingURL=scrolltobottom.map

But I am hoping to be able to generate a non-module version. Like this:

// ideal plain non-module JS
async function () {
	var resolver = function (resolve, reject) {
		var totalHeight = 0;
		var distance = 100;
		var scroller = function () {
			var scrollHeight = document.body.scrollHeight;
			window.scrollBy (0, distance);
			totalHeight += distance;
			if (totalHeight >= scrollHeight) {
				clearInterval (timer);
				resolve ();
			}
		};
		var timer = setInterval (scroller, 100);
	};
	await new Promise (resolver);
};

Is there an option available that makes this possible?
