An automatic require loader for OCaml toplevels
nosetup - An .ocamlinit
helper to #require
packages in an OCaml toplevels
nosetup
helps you to load the dependencies of your project into your toplevel
of choice (OCaml Toplevel as well as UTOP) so you don't have to #require
your
dependencies yourself. It does so by finding your project metadata (even if you
are in a subdirectory, similar to git
), parsing it and then using findlib
to load it into your toplevel session.
Currently it supports Merlin's .merlin
files, though there is no limitation
of which files could be supported as long as the findlib
package names can
be parsed.
Naming
You can call it no-setup
or nose-tup
. In the latter case you can use
(👃,👃)
as logo.
Installation
Be sure to have installed:
opam switch create . --deps-only ocaml-base-compiler.4.07.1
then building the source can be done with a simple incantation:
make
Usage
You need to add a bit to your .ocamlinit
:
#require "nosetup";;
Now every utop
you'll start will have all the findlib
packages from your
.merlin
file preloaded. No need to do anything more.
