melange-atdgen-codec-runtime

melange-atdgen-codec-runtime is a Melange runtime for atdgen. It is based on the Js.Json.t provided by Melange and combinators of melange-json.

Installation

Install opam package manager.

Then:

opam install melange-atdgen-codec-runtime

Usage

To generate ml files from atd ones, add a couple of rules to your dune file:

(rule
 (targets test_bs.ml test_bs.mli)
 (deps test.atd)
 (action
  (run atdgen -bs %{deps})))

(rule
 (targets test_t.ml test_t.mli)
 (deps test.atd)
 (action
  (run atdgen -t %{deps})))

You can see examples in the tests or the example.

To use the generated modules, you will need to include the runtime library in your project. To do so, add melange-atdgen-codec-runtime to the libraries field in your dune file:

; ...
  (libraries melange-atdgen-codec-runtime)
; ...

To write atd type definitions, please have a look at the great atd documentation.

Simple example

Reason code to query and deserialize the response of a REST API. It requires melange-fetch.

let get = (url, decode) =>
  Js.Promise.(
    Fetch.fetchWithInit(
      url,
      Fetch.RequestInit.make(~method_=Get, ()),
    )
    |> then_(Fetch.Response.json)
    |> then_(json => json |> decode |> resolve)
  );

let v: Meetup_t.events =
  get(
    "http://localhost:8000/events",
    Atdgen_codec_runtime.Decode.decode(Meetup_bs.read_events),
  );

Full example

The example directory contains a full example of a simple cli to read and write data in a JSON file.
