Getting Started

Try running a simple program:

# or the direct source link
$ just run https://r.justjs.dev/source/std/0.0.4/examples/welcome.js

Or a more complex one:

import { cmd } from 'just/sys';
import { random } from 'just/crypto';
import { Database } from 'just/db:sqlite';

const db = new Database('db_name');

db.create('versions', 'id text primary key, version text');
await cmd.spawn('just -v').then((output) => {
	db.insert('versions', { id: random.secure(), version: output });
});

console.json(db.query('versions', "where version = '%s'".format(cmd.exec('just -v'))), true);
db.delete('versions', '');

Just package registry can be located here (api).

You can find a deeper introduction, examples, and environment setup guides in the docs.
