Web app to generate Scala 3 Native bindings for C

Warning: this is currently not working and really should be a private repo, but I've run out of private GHA minutes so... here we are

Warning: this will take some time, as we need to build NGINX Unit from scratch, and install LLVM. Sit back, have a beverage

Build a docker container

Release version (slow):

$ docker build . --build-arg scalanative_mode=release-fast --build-arg scalanative_lto=none -t sn-bindgen-web

Debug version (slightly faster):

$ docker build . --build-arg scalanative_mode=debug --build-arg scalanative_lto=none -t sn-bindgen-web

Run it

docker run -p 9999:9999 sn-bindgen-web:latest

Install NGINX Unit: https://unit.nginx.org/installation/
Install LLVM: https://releases.llvm.org/
Set LLVM_BIN env variable to the location of bin folder in LLVM installation
Run sbt devServer/run

Warning: first run will be very slow. Subsequent ones will be somewhat slow.

Alternatively, you can keep launch SBT and run devServer/reStart in there - this will make sure that your SBT shell remains usable, and the server will be run in the background.
Open http://localhost:9999 and enjoy.

The frontend module is set up using Vite.js.

cd modules/frontend
npm install
Run the backend (see above), it has to be running on port 9999 (default) as Vite is configured to proxy the /api/* requests to http://localhost:9999/api/*
In a separate SBT shell, run ~frontend/fastLinkJS - this continuously rebuilds the Scala.js frontend
npm run dev - will run the Vite server
Open http://localhost:5173 and you can now edit frontend without restarting the backend, with live reload
