A light string library for Zig. 🧵 🦎

This repository contains the source code for a package for the Zig programming language to provide various functionality for working with strings and string slices. Xiàn (线) is the Chinese word for "string".

To use the Xiàn package in your Zig project, run the following command from the root of your Zig project:

zig fetch --save git+https://github.com/alyxshang/xian

This will add the Xiàn package to your build.zig.zon file.

To declare the Xiàn module in your build.zig, the following Zig code is required:

const xian = b.dependency("xian", .{});
const xian_mod = xian.module("xian");

Depending on which modules are declared in your build.zig and which modules you want to add Xiàn to, the following line is required:

exe_mod.addImport("xian", xian_mod);

exe_mod is representative for a module for an executable you have previously declared in your build.zig. Please note the following: The name used for importing Xiàn into your code corresponds to the string slice used in the function call addImport.

To view this package's API please clone this repository and run the command zig build-lib -femit-docs src/root.zig from the repository's root or view them here.
