Crate flowstdlib

source ·
Expand description

flowstdlib is a library of flows and functions that can be used from flows.

The flow and function definition are used at compile time when compile flows that reference it.

At run-time, library entries can be of two types, indicated by their ImplementationLocator

  • Native - a native binary (containing) all functions is built and linked by a flow runner program (e.g. flowr) so that any function referenced by a flow is executed natively at native speeds. flowr offers the user control using this via the -n, --native command line option.
  • RelativePath - functions are compiled to WASM files and located within the library at runtime by the flow runner using this file path relative to the lib root. If either the library if not linked natively, or the -n, --native command line option is not used, when the function is referenced by a flow being run, it is loaded and executed in a WASM runtime.

Modules
