# Just Another Line Editor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
or jale.nim
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Note
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a new (and very immature) alternative to other
|
||
|
|
line editors such as linenoise (see rdstdin in the nim
|
||
|
|
standard library) or nimline (https://github.com/h3rald/nimline). Currently you probably want to use either of
|
||
|
|
those because this is a wip.
|
||
|
|
|

|
# Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
git clone https://github.com/japl-lang/jale
|
||
|
|
cd jale
|
||
|
|
nimble install
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Checking the examples out
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building the examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
nimble examples
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Checking the sample editor out. Quit with ctrl+c, save with ctrl+s.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
examples/editor <filename>
|
||
|
|
# or windows:
|
||
|
|
.\examples\editor.exe <filename>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Checking the interactive prompt out. Move between lines using ctrl+up/down. Create new lines with ctrl+down on the last line. ctrl+page up/down also works.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
examples/interactive_history
|
||
|
|
# or windows:
|
||
|
|
.\examples\interactive_history.exe
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
