Error: Str.cmj not found, cmj format is generated by BuckleScript

[ConradIrwin]

Hi, I've installed bucklescript using npm install bucklescript and now am trying to compile some OCaml.

Unfortunately I'm getting an error Error: Str.cmj not found, cmj format is generated by BuckleScript.

Looking at node_modules/bs-platform/lib/ocaml/ it seems that while I have a whole lot of files starting with str., and a whole load of files ending with .cmj (see https://gist.github.com/f000c32aa78d55863f3dee7fec8e50b9), I don't seem to have the eponymous str.cmj

I'm very new to both Ocaml and bucklescript, so I'm probably missing something obvious, but I searched for the error message and nothing came up.

I also tried manually compiling str.mli with bsc.exe, but it doesn't seem to generate any output files.

Any help would be much appreciated, and sorry if it's just me being confused.

in OCaml, str is written in C, we did not port it to vanilla ocaml, yet, I would suggest using JS native reg with bindings

Which are exposed within Js.String for note. :-)

Still would be nice to have the Str module rewritten for bucklescript, should not be hard to do, a beginner task perhaps?

Hi, in OCaml, str library is written in C, which is not ported to ocaml yet. I would suggest you to use JS native regex via bindings

Well that was funky, I'm not used to Github duplicating messages like that. ^.^

[bobzhang]

@OvermindDL1 depends on how you would like to implement it, convert existing ocaml re into jS re or polyfill underlying c implementations?
PRs are welcome : )

Hmm, good point, the OCaml and JS regex engines probably implement different styles (bleh no standards)...
