Fig-lang source code, containing the compiler, CLI, web, and examples

Fig-lang is currently in the early stages of development. You can test the Early development version on Playground.

First compile the FigCli with cargo build --release

then create a file example.fig:

external fig {
    fn print_str(str: char[]);
}

export fn main() {
    print_str("Hello World");
}

finally run ./target/release/fig run ./example.fig

The output should be Hello World.

Also, you can test out fig files in examples folder.

You can write a server side applications with FigLang, FigCli has an command called server That will listen on address and port you specified, each time an request arives the cli will run the script and pass the HTTP request content to the main function.

Here is an example usage of the server command:

./target/release/fig server ./test.fig --addr localhost:8080

Here is an example source code of using server feature in FigCli, It's just like an ordinary Fig program but the main function will get one parameter, Which will contain the content of HTTP request as char[] or a string.

test.fig:

export fn main (request: char[]): char[] {
    // Your code
}

The main function must return the HTTP response as an char[] or string. The return will be your app's response to the request.

Also checkout the server.fig example file there is a lot of helper functions that will make the generation of response, Or reading the request easier.
