Cogito

Cogito is a zig module that offers compile-time only types for high-level metaprogramming.

Since zig's comptime can compute types as it goes and allocate memory at will, it should be able to use the same kind of abstractions as dynamically-typed languages. Cogito implement the following types:

• List,
• Dict,
• String,
• StringSet,
• StructGen,

Usage

1. Fetch the package by running zig fetch git+https://github.com/Dok8tavo/cogito --save=cogito in the folder containing build.zig.zon.

2. Get cogito in your build.zig script:

pub fn build(b: *std.Build) !void {
    ...
    const cogito = b.dependency(
        // this must be the name you used in the `--save=` option
        "cogito", .{
        .target = ...,
        .optimize = ...,
    }).module(
        // this one must be "cogito", it's the name of the module from inside
        // the package
        "cogito"
    );
    ...
}

1. Add the import for your module/executable/library/test:

pub fn build(b: *std.Build) !void {
    ...
    const cogito = ...;

    my_executable_library_or_test.root_module.addImport(
        // this can be whatever you want, it'll affect your `@import` calls
        "cogito",
        cogito,
    );

    my_module.addImport(
        // same
        "cogito",
        cogito,
    );
    ...
}

1. Import the module in your source code:

const cogito = @import(
    // this is the name you used in the `addImport` function in your 
    // `build.zig` script.
    "cogito"
);
