nbb-features

A collection of premade features for nbb

Intro

This repository aims to make it easy to use libraries that nbb is not currently able to evaluate through SCI. This repository does this by providing premade features/libraries that can be pulled in to a custom build of nbb.

Usage

Use the features in this repository to build a custom nbb. Here are the steps for doing this:

  1. In a new project, copy this repository's bb.edn and package.json files.
    • NOTE: The :git/sha for nbb/nbb may be old. You may want to update it to build the most recent version of nbb.
  2. In package.json, rename the nbb-features references to make them your own.
  3. In bb.edn, leave the nbb dependencies as those are needed for building nbb. As for the other dependencies, replace them with the features you want enabled. If the feature is local, use :local/root as seen in the copied bb.edn. If using a feature from this remote repository, pull them in like this:
:deps
{datascript/deps
 {:git/url "https://github.com/babashka/nbb-features"
  :git/sha "7af8569a7f932af2cde5f8677133915540ab0c49"
  :deps/root "features/datascript"}
 }
  1. Build your custom nbb with bb release. Run node lib/nbb_main.js and your nbb with custom features enabled will run!

Features

The following libraries are provided as features:

NOTE: These features usually provide a subset of a library's API to nbb. To see what library fns are available, see the feature's sci configuration.

Contributing

To contribute a new feature, please add a new feature under features/ and corresponding tests under test/features/. See this doc for what's required to make a feature. Before contributing a feature, make sure that the library doesn't already work with nbb and SCI. If your nbb feature was useful to you, we'd love to have it as a contribution!
