This is only a start. It compiles, but with a few TODOs left open. In particular, it doesn't currently handle constants depending on other constants or functions; nor does it hoist constants.
The playground doesn't / cannot depend on aiken-project because that becomes a gigantic pain. So instead, we try to keep essential stuff inside aiken-lang when possible.
The syntax is as follows:
{ "bytes" = "...", "encoding" = "<encoding>" }
The following encoding are accepted:
"utf8", "utf-8", "hex", "base16"
Note: the duplicates are only there to make it easier for people to
discover them by accident. When "hex" (resp. "base16") is specified,
the bytes string will be decoded and must be a valid hex string.
This is currently extremely limited as it only supports (UTF-8)
bytearrays and integers. We should seek to at least support hex bytes
sequences, as well as bools, lists and possibly options.
For the latter, we the rework on constant outlined in #992 is
necessary.
This makes it easier to add new dependencies, without having to
manually edit the `aiken.toml` file.
The command is accessible via two different paths:
- aiken deps add
or simply
- aiken add
for this is quite common to find at the top-level of the command-line,
and, we still want to keep commands for managing dependencies grouped
under a command sub-group and not all at the top-level. So we're
merely promoting that one for visibility.
This is a bit cleaner, as the 'cmd/new' had many on-the-fly functions
which are better scoped inside this module.
Plus, it plays nicely with the std::str::FromStr trait definition.
