## 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.
- `packages/website` is the main descriptive website for squiggle,
it is hosted at `squiggle-language.com`.
- `packages/vscode-ext` is the VS Code extension for writing estimation functions.
- `packages/cli` is an experimental way of using imports in squiggle, which is also on [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/squiggle-cli-experimental).
# Develop
For any project in the repo, begin by running `yarn` in the top level
```sh
yarn
```
Then use `turbo` to build the specific packages or the entire monorepo:
```sh
turbo run build
```
Or:
```sh
turbo run build --filter=@quri/squiggle-components
```
You can also run specific npm scripts for the package you're working on. See `packages/*/README.md` for the details.
# NixOS users
This repository requires the use of bundled binaries from node_modules, which
are not linked statically. The easiest way to get them working is to enable
[nix-ld](https://github.com/Mic92/nix-ld).
