Nirum is an IDL compiler and RPC/distributed object framework for microservices, built on top of the modern Web server technologies such as RESTful HTTP and JSON.
You can find how its IDL looks like from source codes in the examples/
directory.
Note that its design is highly unstable and could be changed. Also the feature set is incomplete yet.
The easiest way to give a try to use Nirum is downloading a nightly build. We currently provides the prebuilt binaries of the following platforms:
In order to compile a Nirum package (examples/) to a Python package:
$ mkdir out/ # directory to place generated Python files
$ nirum -o out/ examples/
For more infomration, use --help option:
$ nirum --help
Nirum Compiler 0.3.0
nirum [OPTIONS] DIR
Common flags:
-o --output-dir=DIR The directory to place object files
-? --help Display help message
-V --version Print version information
--numeric-version Print just the version number
If you already installed Haskell Platform or Haskell Stack, you can build the project in the same way to build other Haskell projects.
Using Haskell Stack:
$ stack build
Using vanilla Cabal:
$ cabal sandbox init
$ cabal install --only-dependencies
$ cabal configure
$ cabal build
You can run the test suite of Nirum:
$ stack test # using Hasekll Stack
$ cabal test # using Haskell Platform
$ ./lint.sh # run style lint as well
