🔗Nim packages and libraries
Supranim relies on several Nim packages and libraries to provide its powerful features and functionality. Most of these dependencies are packages that I maintain and have been developed specifically for Supranim, while others are popular third-party libraries such as Libevent and Monocypher.
All in-house packages are available on GitHub, on Supranim's GitHub org page, or on OpenPeeps GitHub org page for those pretty framework-agnostic libraries.
For a complete list of package dependencies, please refer to the Nimble file in the Supranim repository. Also, depending on the project type you choose when creating a new project, some additional dependencies may be required. 🔥 Check the Starter Kits documentation for more details on the specific dependencies for each project type.
🔗C Library Dependencies
Supranim is a web framework built on top of Libevent notification library, a high-performance, well-known C library that provides asynchronous event notification. This allows Supranim to handle a large number of concurrent connections efficiently, making it ideal for building high-performance web applications.
🔗Building Libevent from Source
To ensure you have the latest version of Libevent, you can build it from source. Follow these steps:
# Clone the LibEvent repository
git clone https://github.com/libevent/libevent
# Navigate to the libevent directory
cd libevent && mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make
# Install the library globally
sudo make install
