prism-template

Template repository for prism projects

Usage

Create a repository using this as a template.

To build the project run prism build in the project root.

Why

To have a working example of a prism repository using modules and the prism.toml project file.

prism.toml explained

The prism.toml file defines the project.

Only package.name and bin.entry are needed to compile a project succesfully.

A minimal example would be the uncommented parts below:

[package]
name = "hello_world"
# src = "modules/"
# prelude = "lib/prelude.pr"
[bin]
entry = "hello.pr"
# [dependencies]
# World = { path = "deps/World" }

• package.name: defines the name of the binary generated with prism build.
• bin.entry: the path to the file containing the main entry function.
• package.src: Path relative to the project root that contains modules available to be imported.
• package.prelude: Path relative to the project root that contains a module replacing the standard prelude. Any funtion exported with a name from the standard prelude will override that function.
• dependencies: A list of name = { path = "..."} of modules that can be imported by the program.
