This idea can be extended - the Mass storage could provide access to the RAM area where the JavaScript is stored.

This way, we could program Espruino from the online web IDE version, using any browser. Just by downloading the generated JS from server and storing it to the mass storage device.

Mbed does it this way, and now also Micro:bit (which is based on Mbed).

(sorry if this idea is proposed in another feature request... this was the first link Google gave me)

Yes the flash content (say the Storage items) could be exposed that way (or via MTP or something simpler perhaps). But USB Mass storage would be the most convenient. It would be nice to see their implementation. Any links?

A related conversation also #221 (comment).

@opichals just beat me to it with the link :) In 1v96 there's actually a Storage module that implements a simple filesystem in Flash memory and which would be perfect for this.

I think exposing the contents of RAM could be a bit more involved, but Storage might not be too bad. I'd definitely be interested if someone wanted to have a go at implementing it. Having said that, just writing source code for execution does mean you miss out on some of Espruino's best features (eg the console, stack traces, debugging, etc).

... everything's going to get a bit more involved soon as I add support for USB on nRF52840. I'm not really sure if we'll be able to abstract everything away enough that there's not loads of code duplication everywhere :(

Closing this - now the IDE has the Storage menus I'm not sure it's so important
