I've gotten tired of trying to find this in the cache dir, since the build system does not rerun it once it is cached. Also sometimes the build runner does weird things to the output.
NATS - Zig Client
This is a Zig client library for the NATS messaging system. It's currently a thin wrapper over NATS.c.
There are three main goals:
- Provide a Zig package that can be used with the Zig package manager.
- Provide a native-feeling Zig client API.
- Support cross-compilation to the platforms that Zig supports.
Right now, in service of goal 3, the underlying C library is built without certain features (notably, without TLS support and without streaming support) because those features require wrangling some complex transitive dependencies (OpenSSL and Protocol Buffers, respectively). Solving this limitation is somewhere on the roadmap, but it's not high priority.
Zig Version Support
Since the language is still under active development, any written Zig code is a moving target. The plan is to support Zig 0.11.* exclusively until the NATS library API has good coverage and is stabilized. At that point, if there are major breaking changes, a maintenance branch will be created, and master will probably move to track Zig master.
Building
Currently, a demonstration executable can be built in the standard fashion, i.e. by running zig build.
