# zig.thi.ng

## About

Various, still somewhat unstructured, raw-around-the-edges utilities / open
learning with [Zig](https://ziglang.org), at some point hopefully culminating
into a useful toolkit.

**All code in this repo is compatible with Zig v0.13.0**

## Current modules (all WIP)

| Name | Description |
| -------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [`thing.FixedBufferDualList`](./src/dual_list.zig) | Dual-headed linked list for resource IDs allocation (active/available) |
| [`thing.ndarray`](./src/ndarray.zig) | Generic nD-Array base implementation |
| [`thing.random`](./src/random.zig) | Additional `std.rand.Random`-compatible PRNGs and related utilities. |
| [`thing.vectors`](./doc/vectors.md) | SIMD-based generic vector type & operations (incl. type specific additions) |

## Usage with Zig's package manager

Tagged versions of this project are available and can be added as dependency to
your project via `zig fetch`, like so:

```bash
zig fetch --save https://github.com/thi-ng/zig-thing/archive/refs/tags/v0.1.0.tar.gz
```

The `--save` option adds a new dependency called `thi.ng` to your
`build.zig.zon` project file.

You'll also need to update your main `build.zig` with these additions:

```zig
//
const target = b.standardTargetOptions(.{});
const optimize = b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});
// main build step...
const exe = b.addExecutable(.{ ... });
//

// declare & configure dependency (via build.zig.zon)
const thing = b.dependency("thi.ng", .{
.target = target,
.optimize = optimize,
}).module("thi.ng");

// declare module for importing via given id
exe.root_module.addImport("thi.ng", thing);
```

**Important:** If you're having a test build step configured (or any other build
step requiring separate compilation), you'll also need to add the
`.root_module.addImport()` call for that step too!

With these changes, you can then import the module in your source code like so:

```zig
const thing = @import("thi.ng");
```

## Building & Testing

The package is not meant to be build directly (yet), so currently the build file
only declares a module.

To run all tests:

```bash
zig test src/main.zig
```
