How to use

[aberba]

The README does not show how to go about using this package

[ichordev]

You use it just like dub, or do you mean the library part?

[MrcSnm]

I've added how to build, run and use its public API in the last commit:

Running redub without having it on path

• Change directory to the project you want to build and enter in terminal dub run redub
• You may also get help by running dub run redub -- --help

Building redub

• Enter in terminal and execute dub
• Highly recommended that you build it with dub -b debug-release --compiler=ldc2 since this will also improve its speed on dependency resolution

Using its library API

The usage of the library APIispretty straightforward. You get mainly 2 functions

1. resolveDependencies which will parse the project and its dependencies, after that, you got all the project information
2. buildProject which will get the project information and build in parallel

import redub.api;
import redub.logging;
void main()
{
  import std.file;
  //Enables logging on redub
  setLogLevel(LogLevel.verbose);
  //Gets the project information
  ProjectDetails d = resolveDependencies(
    invalidateCache: false,
    std.system.os,
    CompilationDetails("dmd", "arch not yet implemented", "dmd v[2.105.0]"),
    ProjectToParse("configuration", getcwd(), "subPackage", "path/to/dub/recipe.json (optional)")
  );
  /** Optionally, you can change some project information by accessing the details.tree (a ProjectNode), from there, you can freely modify the BuildRequirements of the project
  * d.tree.requirements.cfg.outputDirectory = "some/path";
  * d.tree.requirements.cfg.dFlags~= "-gc";
  */
  //Execute the build process
  buildProject(d);
}
