Getting started

lidl-cli is a command line compiler for LIDL. For the core LIDL library, see lidl-core, for an interactive IDE, see lidl-sanbox.

Prerequisites

lidl-cli requires a version of Node.js greater than v4.0.0. The simplest way to install node.js on any platform is to download it from the official site. You can test that you have a correct Node.js installation by launching:

node --version

Installation

The simplest way of installing lidl-cli is to install it from NPM, as a global package, using the -g option:

npm install lidl-cli -g

Usage

To use the lidl compiler, just use the command line utility lidl. Two options are necessary:

• -i to specify an input LIDL file name
• -o to specify an output JS file name

For example, to compile the LIDL program foo.lidl into the JS file bar.js:

lidl -i foo.lidl -o bar.js
