This is a web framework written in C++ and hopefully will be used by other programming languages other than C++ too.
It's being developed. News will be shared on Telegram.
This project on:
You can help us develop this project if you're familiar with C++ programming language and web development. Even if you're not really good at web development but you know C++ very well, specially C++17 and C++20 (clang and gcc c++2a is enough), then we have lots of things that you can help with which doesn't have anything to do with web development directly.
I'd appreciate any help of any kind. Even if you're not interested in coding, here are some ways you can help out:
- Writing tests; I dare you to make me mad by writing too much tests 😁
- Writing benchmarks: I write lots of benchmarks (even outside the scope of this project) to make sure I'm using the right tool/library/feature/class/template/... .
- Make jokes: make (not) funny jokes in our @webpp_discuss group
- Share ideas: I have plenty of ideas, and I want more.
- Report bugs: you can find me in the @webpp_discuss group; report the bugs there; or open issues on github/gitlab.
- Financial support: this project is open-source; we'll need some money for hosting and advertising.
- Share on social-media: I'll appreciate any shout-out about this project; even if you give a bad feedback.
- Learn &/ Teach: we can teach you and also learn from you; so let's talk code!
- Suggest someone who can help: I'd appreciate any help on finding people who can help in any way.
- Write documentation: writing documentation is so much fun that I don't want to do it alone! 😂
Look at the Core Readme file for the core concepts of the project.
In the examples directory you can find examples. That's not much but it'll give you they high level viewpoint. Take a look at them and you can be sure that we'll try to write tests for all of them; so if you read tests, you'll learn even more about the project.
We currently use googletest library for unit/integrated testing. This might change in a few years though.
There are many tests you can read, confirm, fix, and/or write. They are the perfect place to start learning about the project after the examples.
You currently can run tests just by running the webpptest executable. It's as easy as that.
Benchmarks are done for us developers so we know which tool/class/implementation/library/framework/solution that we choose is the best. Currently we are using Googles' mini-benchmark library for this purpose.
We don't have a documentation/tutorial/guide at this point. You can help us write one. We're just too busy writing the code that we don't have much time writing documentations at this point. But you can be sure from the point that this project becomes production-ready, we'll have documentations.
Requirements for building and testing:
- At least C++20 (we will be using C++20/23/... as they come and deprecate old versions)
- CMake
- Boost
- Googletest (gtest)
git clone https://gitlab.com/webpp/webpp.git
cd webpp/
mkdir build/
cd build
cmake -G "Ninja" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
ninja
sudo ninja install # needed only for building the examplesAnd then in order to run the tests, you just have to run the webpptest binary in that directory. You don't need to build tests individually but you have to build examples individually; but this may change when we hit our first production-ready version.
We use gtask (a custom script built on top of TaskWarrior for task management) as a ToDo list. Of course long-term todos will not be there so the ideas don't get out before they need to.
