Branch

Branch is a zero-dependency framework for Scala 3 on Java 21+.

Why zero-dependency? For fun! Fun, and to illustrate how much you can get done with Scala without relying on bigger Scala frameworks. Branch will not be the fastest, most performant solution, but it will (hopefully) let you get things done quickly! Think of it as the framework for your side-project, not your job.

It's a pretty early stage project, and very much an evolving work-in-progress at the moment.

The docs (so far ™️) are on : https://wishingtreedev.github.io/branch/

Development

I've set up the project to use scala-cli as the build tool. The code is in the branch directory. To set up the project, run the following command in the project root directory:

scala-cli setup-ide branch

and then open the project in your IDE, and (e.g. for IntelliJ) import as a module. If you wanted to add a submodule, you can run similar commands for subfolders. See https://scala-cli.virtuslab.org/docs/cookbooks/ide/intellij-multi-bsp for details for Idea.

salac-cli publish local branch

I'm trying something new out, and keeping the tests alongside the source code (.test.scala files). Some reusable testing components are in the teskit package, which are scoped to test.

You can run the tests with:

scala-cli test branch

Some tests use testcontainers to run tests, so you will need Docker running to be able to run those tests successfully.
