Raku Examples
This is intended to be a repository for all kinds of Raku examples.
All examples should work for any full implementation of Raku.
If an example needs an implementation specific version then it should end in .implementation. For example, if you are making an example that only works on Rakudo, it should end in .rakudo.
If you want to contribute, just ask! The quicker choice is to use IRC:
join #raku on irc.freenode.net
and you'll be welcome.
Please use POD6 (mostly this template https://github.com/perl6/perl6-examples/blob/master/doc/example-template.pl) when adding a new example.
Goals
- Compile a list of open source Raku examples
- Help different implementations of Raku test out their code in a less
testy and more fun manner
;)

Dependencies
To run all examples and tests, a number of modules need to be installed.
These are listed in META6.json.
They can be installed via zef:
$ zef --depsonly install .
Running the examples
To run most examples (all examples excluding those which take a very long
time or are memory hogs) one can use the run-examples.pl script in the
bin directory:
$ perl6 bin/run-examples.pl
or simply via the run-all target of the Makefle:
$ make run-all
If one wishes to run the examples for a given category, then one can simply
use the --category=<category-dir> option specifying the desired category's
directory name. For example, to run the examples for the cookbook
category, use the following:
$ perl6 bin/run-examples.pl --category=cookbook
Building the examples documentation
To build the examples documentation web pages, simply run
$ make html
or you can run the htmlify.p6 script in the base directory:
$ perl6 htmlify.p6
After the pages have been generated, you can view them on your local
computer by starting the included app.pl program:
$ perl app.pl daemon
You can then view the examples documentation by pointing your web browser at http://localhost:3000.
