Fortan implementation of the FAIR Data Pipeline API
You can build and test the library using CMake. This implementation requires a compiler suite that supports C++11 and Fortran 2003.
It is recommended that you install CURL prior to installation of this API.
Compile the library by running:
$ cmake -Bbuild
$ cmake --build build
The library can be installed system-wide using:
$ cmake --build build --target install
After doing so, the library can be discovered and utilised in other CMake projects using:
find_package(fdpfort)
target_link_libraries(my_project PRIVATE fdpfort::fdpfort)
The Fortran API depends on the C++ API, and links into it via the C API. The main
object the user will interact with is DataPipeline, which must be passed to
methods such as fdp_link_read etc. This object should be initialised prior to use
using fdp_init, and finalised at the end of a program run using fdp_finalise.
A logger has been used to give as much feedback to the user as possible. The verbosity
is handled by a log level argument to the function fdp_log. The environment variable
FDP_LOG_LEVEL=[TRACE:DEBUG:INFO:WARN:ERROR:CRITICAL:OFF] can be set to specify the
logging output level.
The unit tests use the local registry. This needs to be running prior to running the tests. See the CLI docs for more information.
Then build the project with the flag FDPFORT_BUILD_TESTS=ON, and run using the
target run-tests:
$ cmake -Bbuild . -DFDPFORT_BUILD_TESTS=ON
$ cmake --build build --target run-tests
