dust

Magic fairy dust for Pixie.

Provides tooling around pixie, e.g. a nicer repl, running tests and fetching dependencies.

Usage

• dust or dust repl to start a REPL

• dust test to run the tests

• dust run to run code in a file

• all commands:

  $ dust help
  Usage: dust <cmd> <options>
  
  Availlable commands:
  get-deps  Download the dependencies of the current project.
  deps      List the dependencies and their versions of the current project.
  repl      Start a REPL in the current project.
  run       Run the code in the given file.
  load-path Print the load path of the current project.
  test      Run the tests of the current project.
  help      Display the help

Project definition

dust reads its settings from a per-project project.pxi file. In that file one configures the name, version, dependencies and other metadata about the project:

(defproject dust "0.1.0-alpha"
  :description "Magic fairy dust for Pixie"
  :dependencies [[heyLu/hiccup.pxi "0.1.0-alpha"]])

With such a project definition you can run dust get-deps to fetch the dependencies of the project and dust will set up the load-paths var in Pixie so that the namespaces are availlable in the repl or when running programs:

$ dust get-deps
Downloading heyLu/hiccup.pxi
$ dust repl
Pixie 0.1 - Interactive REPL
(linux, gcc)
:exit-repl or Ctrl-D to quit
----------------------------
user => (use 'hiccup.core)
nil
user => (html [:span#foo.bar.baz "HOORAY!"])
"<span class="bar baz" id="foo">HOORAY!</span>"
user => @load-paths
["/home/lu/t/pixie/pixie" "." "deps/heyLu/hiccup.pxi/src"]
