New Project

Once you've installed BuckleScript from the previous section, you can generate a lightweight project template:

SH
bsb -init my-new-project

Alternatively, to start a new Reason project:

SH
bsb -init my-new-project -theme basic-reason

To compile & run the project you just created:

SH
cd my-new-project
npm run build
node src/Demo.bs.js

And that's it! You've just built the project once and ran the JS output. Feel free to inspect the js output, add a few files in my-new-project/src, etc. Hopefully we've delivered on our promise of being a lean toolchain with clean output =).

We'll explain bsb, the build system called by the above npm run build, in a later section.

Editor Integration

We share the same editor integration as Reason. See the setup here then here.
