A bunch of utility functions for NimScript.
Feel like NimScript is so cool but lacking a lot of stuff and breaks too easily?
This is pretty much what you want. nimsutils include support for:
- pretty logging
- Last time I searched (2024-05-13) there are quite literally no good nimble packages for even nim itself. No good pretty loggers in even Nim! Ridiculous!
- Logit exists but it's hard to customize, it's probably the closest thing.
- running shell commands (
run()) - setting up tasks in nimble (
xtask) - time support
- yes you actually can't import
std/[times, monotimes]in NimScript - you can do stuff like benchmarking with
time "Benchmark name":
- yes you actually can't import
- makefile-ish syntax supported using the
@=operator
There's literally an example in the nimsutils.nimble file:
xtask mytask, "description of mytask":
hint "hi"
trace "https://youtu.be/Tl62BvTYUVA"
debug "huh?"
note "My Notice"
warn "My Warning"
error "My Error"
fatal "NYAAAAAA"
run "echo 'Hello World'"
run "!@#$%^ouch bad command"
(Note: sh outputted Japanese due to my locale settings.)
There are more examples in test.nims.
Yes, you heard me: start using nimsutils by just:
- cloning this repository:
git clone https://github.com/FyraLabs/nimsutils --depth 1-
import nimsutils - (optional) Replace
taskwithxtask
