plug

Tags Checks Dependencies License

Plug is a drop in extension for using remote dynamic libraries in deno. It automatically handles caching and loading with minimal overhead. It can automatically create the URL for your cross-operating-system, cross-architecture libraries if you so wish using a simple configuration which deviates from the standard URL/string path input.

Installation

Plug is published to jsr.io and deno.land. The recommended way to use it is to use JSR:

deno add @denosaurs/plug

or without the CLI:

import * as plug from "jsr:@denosaurs/plug";

Example using plug as an almost drop in replacement for Deno.dlopen

import { dlopen } from "@denosaurs/plug";

// Drop-in replacement for `Deno.dlopen` which fetches the following depending
// on operating system:
// * darwin: "https://example.com/some/path/libexample.dylib"
// * windows: "https://example.com/some/path/example.dll"
// * linux: "https://example.com/some/path/libexample.so"
const library = await dlopen("https://example.com/some/path/", {
  noop: { parameters: [], result: "void" },
});

library.symbols.noop();

Example using automatic binary name guessing

import { dlopen, FetchOptions } from "@denosaurs/plug";

// If you want plug to guess your binary names
const options: FetchOptions = {
  name: "example",
  url: "https://example.com/some/path/",
  // Becomes:
  // darwin: "https://example.com/some/path/libexample.dylib"
  // windows: "https://example.com/some/path/example.dll"
  // linux: "https://example.com/some/path/libexample.so"
};

const library = await dlopen(options, {
  noop: { parameters: [], result: "void" },
});

library.symbols.noop();

Example using nested cross-platform options

import { dlopen, FetchOptions } from "@denosaurs/plug";

// Also you can specify the path for certain architecture
const options: FetchOptions = {
  name: "example",
  url: {
    darwin: {
      aarch64: `https://example.com/some/path/libexample.aarch64.dylib`,
      x86_64: `https://example.com/some/path/libexample.x86_64.dylib`,
    },
    windows: `https://example.com/some/path/example.dll`,
    linux: `https://example.com/some/path/libexample.so`,
    freebsd: "https://example.com/some/path/libexample_freebsd.so",
    netbsd: "https://example.com/some/path/libexample_netbsd.so",
    aix: "https://example.com/some/path/libexample_aix.so",
    solaris: "https://example.com/some/path/libexample_solaris.so",
    illumos: "https://example.com/some/path/libexample_illumos.so",
  },
};

await dlopen(options, {});

Example using nested cross-platform options and automatic binary name guessing

import { dlopen, FetchOptions } from "@denosaurs/plug";

// Or even configure plug to automatically guess the binary names for you,
// even when there are special rules for naming on specific architectures
const options: FetchOptions = {
  name: "test",
  url: "https://example.com/some/path/",
  suffixes: {
    darwin: {
      aarch64: ".aarch64",
      x86_64: ".x86_64",
    },
  },
  // Becomes:
  // darwin-aarch64: "https://example.com/some/path/libexample.aarch64.dylib"
  // darwin-x86_64: "https://example.com/some/path/libexample.x86_64.dylib"
};

await dlopen(options, {});

Testing

To run the plug tests, you can use the following command:

deno test --import-map test_import_map.json -A --doc

The test_import_map.json file is used to map the @denosaurs/plug import to the local mod.ts file instead of the remote one for the documentation tests.
