Installation
============
Nimsuggest is available as a Nimble package but currently does not install
properly via Nimble. As nimsuggest is part of the compiler it also doesn't make
too much sense as a Nimble package. Instead we will do the building manually::
cd compiler/nimsuggest
nim c -d:release nimsuggest
cp nimsuggest ../../bin
# OR: copy the nimsuggest binary to where your 'nim' binary is
cd ../..
Nimsuggest is part of Nim's core. Build it via::
koch nimsuggest
Nimsuggest invocation
=====================
Run it via ``nimsuggest --stdin myproject.nim``. Nimsuggest is a server that
takes queries that are related to ``myproject``. There is some support so that
you can throw random ``.nim`` files which are not part of ``myproject`` at
Nimsuggest too, but usually the query refer to modules/files that are part of
``myproject``.
Run it via ``nimsuggest --stdin --debug --v2 myproject.nim``. Nimsuggest is a
server that takes queries that are related to ``myproject``. There is some
support so that you can throw random ``.nim`` files which are not part
of ``myproject`` at Nimsuggest too, but usually the query refer to modules/files
that are part of ``myproject``.
``--stdin`` means that Nimsuggest reads the query from ``stdin``. This is great
for testing things out and playing with it but for an editor communication
