how to get started adding a binding

[dominictarr]

I want to create bindings for libsodium and leveldb, is there any documentation for how to get started writing a binding?

Not right now, no.

The gist would be:

• add a submodule to the lib you want
• edit build.rs to compile it, the gcc module handles linking it to rust already.
• make a <lib>_api.rs file in the form of duk_api.rs and write the Rust bindings in a relatively similar manner
• add it as a module in main.rs
• add a <lib>_functions.rs file for writing any function linkage
• add a <lib>.rs file for exposing it to the JS context in the same form as nucleus.rs
• add that onto the JS context from within the nucleus declaration in nucleus.rs so that it is acessbale via nucleus.<lib>.etc in JS

At a higher level: it should probably be proposed as a spec on the design repo. not sure if that matters at this point though

I have an open issue for libuv at https://github.com/nucleus-js/rustyduk/issues/10

If you want, I could hop in the irc if that is easier. (nucleus.js on freenode) :)
