Packages

This monorepo has several packages that can be used for various purposes. All the packages can be found in packages.

  • @quri/squiggle-lang in packages/squiggle-lang contains the core language, particularly an interface to parse squiggle expressions and return descriptions of distributions or results.
  • @quri/squiggle-components in packages/components contains React components that can be passed squiggle strings as props, and return a presentation of the result of the calculation.
  • @quri/squiggle-website in packages/website The main descriptive website for squiggle, it is hosted at squiggle-language.com.

The playground depends on the components library which then depends on the language. This means that if you wish to work on the components library, you will need to build (no need to bundle) the language, and as of this writing playground doesn't really work.

Develop

For any project in the repo, begin by running yarn in the top level (TODO: is this true?)

yarn

See packages/*/README.md to work with whatever project you're interested in.

codium for rescript

If you have nix installed with flakes enabled, you can build a codium in this repo for rescript development, if you don't want to pollute your machine's global editor with another mode/extension.

nix develop
codium 

The nix develop shell also provides yarn.
