Hello everyone
I wanted to know what are the first steps to start using rescript for someone who is new to web development.
I have installed “rescript-vscode” and then tried installing rescript (bucklescript) and compiling my .res file but it gives some errors.
hi @Sal1,
can you point to the instructions you followed to install rescript? What errors do you get?
this should get you covered: https://rescript-lang.org/docs/manual/latest/installation
thanks for the reply @tsnobip
I followed the installation and it worked!
but now I’m wondering if that’s necessary to clone the template project every time I want to start a new project? what’s the routine for starting a new project?
you can also init a project with
bsb -init my-project-name -theme react-starter
or any theme that you’d like, you can list them with:
bsb -themes

Thanks a lot man, you’ve been very helpful today.
Now I realized that I know nothing about about rescript and related topics. Is there any course\book for newbies like me?
It’s still a work in progress but the official docs are becoming very decent thanks to ryppy’s efforts and there are a few books that cover more in depth usage depending on your use case. Regarding books I’ve heard of https://pragprog.com/book/reasonml/web-development-with-reasonml by @jdeisenberg if you’re interested in web development with rescript, but I haven’t read it yet
