Guile-hoot/examples/project-template

Hoot example project

This directory serves as an example of a basic Hoot project that you can use as a starting point for your own project!

It has everything you need:

• A simple Scheme program composed of multiple modules that makes use of Web APIs.

• A manifest.scm file for creating a development environment with guix shell

• A Makefile for compiling the Scheme source to a WebAssembly binary.

• HTML and JavaScript files for loading the WebAssembly binary in a web page.

• A simple development web server for testing builds.

There is one wrinkle in this template: The reflect.wasm, reflect.js, and wtf8.wasm files are symlinks. If you choose to copy this project somewhere as a starting point, you'll want to copy over the necessary files. If you've installed Hoot to your system via make install or via a package manager, you'll find all these files in Hoot's share directory (such as /usr/share/guile-hoot) and can symlink/copy from there. We are looking forward to making this step entirely unnecessary in future releases.

Building

Building this project requires GNU Guix.

Once you have Guix, the development environment with all necessary dependencies can be created:

guix shell

Build the project:

make

Launch a development web server:

make serve
