How to build Dada

Building Dada as a standalone executable

You can build Dada just like any other Rust project:

• Install Rust via rustup (note that Dada uses the nightly toolchain)
• Checkout dada from github
• Run tests cargo test

You can also use the cargo dada subcommand:

• Run tests: cargo dada test or cargo dada test --bless
• Run an individual file: cargo dada run file.rs

Building the website

The Dada website is a docusaurus project.

Installation

• Install node.js, we recommend nvm
  • You want the version of node found in .nvmrc
  • With nvm, just use nvm install to get the correct version of node
• Run cargo xtask deploy
  • This will compile Dada with webassembly and build a static copy of the site
• To test the site locally:
  • You must first run cargo xtask deploy to build the webassembly package
  • You can then cd book and run npm start
