Introduction

Zig cookbook is a collection of simple Zig programs that demonstrate good practices to accomplish common programming tasks.

• Main branch tracks Zig 0.15.x, and is tested on Linux and macOS via GitHub actions.
• Earlier Zig support could be found in other branches.

How to use

The website is generated by zine-ssg, a static site generator for Zig. zine will start a server at http://localhost:1990 for preview.

Each recipe is accompanied by an illustrative example named after its corresponding sequence number. These examples can be executed using the command zig build run-{chapter-num}-{sequence-num}, or zig build run-all to execute all.

Note

Some recipes may depend on system libraries

• Use make install-deps to install client libraries, and
• docker-compose up -d to start required databases.
