Gleam is a functional language that compiles to JavaScript! More information can be found in the documentation directly, to get you started!
For stantard development purposes, a classic gleam installation should be done,
following the official instructions.
However, having a gleam package on NPM allows everyone to embed gleam directly
from a package.json, for certain scenarios:
- When running on CI, and dependent on the
package.json. - When you can't install softwares directly.
- When you want to maintain multiple versions of gleam with NPM.
yarn add @chouqueth/gleam
yarn gleam --help
This package will mimic main releases of gleam, meaning all intermediates versions (1.1.0-rc1 for instance) will not be taken into account. Expect a new version of this package to ship soon after the official releases lands on GitHub.
Because gleam compiles both to JS and Erlang, the gleam compiler can output both code. However, do not expect this package to help in Erlang development. This package is mainly aimed to use in the JS ecosystem, and do not ship Erlang runtime neither rebar3. Follow the classical installation of gleam and Erlang to get started with Erlang development!
In case you succeed to use this package in an Erlang workflow, congrats! You achieved a strong engineering achievement! Do not ask for help if it bug though! 😇
