| 21:09:30 | anddam | can I "package" resources in a single nim executable? namely I am thinking about a minimal webserver (jester or the like) and bundle a few templates in a single executable |
| 21:19:27 | FromDiscord | <Robyn [She/Her]> In reply to @anddam "can I "package" resources": `staticRead` is what you want, I believe |
| 21:19:58 | FromDiscord | <Robyn [She/Her]> Reads a file in the directory at compile time into a constant |
| 21:21:54 | FromDiscord | <ezquerra> Is there way to tell that we are in "docgen mode"? That is, that nim has been called with the `docgen` command? For example, is it possible to do `when defined(docgen)` or something like that? |
| 21:22:25 | FromDiscord | <ezquerra> The reason I'm asking is that in arraymancer we need to import some stuff that is only necessary to make docgen work. That causes warnings when doing a regular compilation |
| 21:23:04 | FromDiscord | <ezquerra> I'd like to wrap those imports that are only needed to make docgen work insde a "when in_docgen_mode" block |
| 21:35:57 | FromDiscord | <zumi.dxy> `when defined(nimdoc)`? |
| 21:38:49 | FromDiscord | <ezquerra> Does that work? |
| 21:39:47 | FromDiscord | <ezquerra> It does! Thanks! |

| 23:36:30 | anddam | ok, I stumbled onto an old jester webapp sample and got breakage due non GC-safety in accessing global vars https://www.eoleary.me/blog/create-a-webapp/ |
| 23:36:48 | anddam | but I was able to actually read the error, find a solution and make it work. I am impressed at the clarity of all of this |
| 23:37:45 | anddam | namely I used threadvar for the vars and just inited those into a init_vars() function |
| 23:37:55 | anddam | beautiful |
| 23:46:40 | anddam | can I define a procedure with no return value type? |
| 23:50:26 | rockcavera | anddam yes, `proc name() = discard` |
| 23:51:08 | rockcavera | it is the same as: `proc name(): void = discard` |
| 23:58:51 | anddam | thx |
| 23:59:13 | anddam | I used {.discardable.} but was returning a dummy value |
