Raku Examples

Build Status

This is intended to be a repository for all kinds of Raku examples.

All examples should work on a recent compiler release of Rakudo.

If you want to contribute, just ask! The quicker choice is to use IRC: join #raku on irc.libera.chat and you'll be welcome.

Please use POD6 when adding a new example. This template can help get you started.

Goals

  1. Compile a list of open source Raku examples
  2. Help different implementations of Raku test out their code in a less testy and more fun manner ;)

Dependencies

To run all examples and tests, a number of modules need to be installed.

These are listed in META6.json.

They can be installed via zef:

$ zef --deps-only install .

Running the examples

To run most examples (all examples excluding those which take a very long time or are memory hogs) one can use the run-examples.pl script in the bin directory:

$ raku bin/run-examples.pl

or simply via the run-all target of the Makefle:

$ make run-all

If one wishes to run the examples for a given category, then one can simply use the --category=<category-dir> option specifying the desired category's directory name. For example, to run the examples for the cookbook category, use the following:

$ raku bin/run-examples.pl --category=cookbook

Building the examples documentation

To build the examples documentation web pages, simply run

$ make html

or you can run the htmlify.pl script in the base directory:

$ raku htmlify.pl

After the pages have been generated, you can view them on your local computer by starting the included app.pl program:

$ raku app.pl daemon

You can then view the examples documentation by pointing your web browser at http://localhost:3000.
