Glutinum is a tentative to bring an equivalent to DefinitelyTyped for Fable ecosystem.
Right now Glutinum contains bindings generated using ts2fable and improved manually.
In the future, Glutinum will try to use it's own converter to experiment with a new way to write bindings.
Yes, you can.
Most of the package already have a battery of tests to check regression and if they works.
A glue, is always no-code bindings between F# and JavaScript code.
If there are code addition made to improve the user experience when working with the package then it goes into another package Glutinum.XXX.Extensions.
Example: Glutinum.RangeParser.Extensions
This is so we don't have to make all the packages includes their source code under .fable directory and should improve Fable memory consumption and performance.
| Binding | Number of tests |
|---|---|
| BodyParser | 5 |
| Chalk | 30 |
| Connect | 3 |
| Express | 424 |
| Mime | 4 |
| Qs | 5 |
| RangeParser | 5 |
| ServeStatic | 2 |
If you are on Windows using the standard terminal you need to run node build.js.
If you are on Linux, OSX or Windows using a bash-like terminal you can run build.js directly.
From now, I will always use build.js in the command as it is shorter.
Run build.js --help for more information about which command are supported.
It is possible to have TAB completion support from your terminal.
Run ./build.js completion and follow the instruction.
It comes from the ideas that this project is trying to glue together F# and TypeScript.
Glutinum is from the Latin word gluten ("glue") with the suffix -um.
