87 A packaged library

This example imports functions from the Norm Commons Lang adapter. Its inline Module module() declares a direct dependency on commons.lang; the API comes from a packaged library, not a copied source file.

import commons.lang.stringUtilsCapitalize
import commons.lang.stringUtilsNormalizeSpace

main() {
  String compact = stringUtilsNormalizeSpace("  learn   norm  ")!!
  String title = stringUtilsCapitalize(compact)!!
  printLine(title)
}

Module module() {
  module(dependencies: [dependency(repository: "github", name: "commons.lang", version: 2)])
}

With the development toolchain, prepare the current library source once from the Norm repository root, then run the consumer:

git clone https://github.com/normlanguage/commons-lang.git .tmp/commons-lang
norm package .tmp/commons-lang/commons/lang/module.norm --output "$HOME/.norm/cache/packages"
norm run norm/tests/docs/libraries/commons-lang/hello.norm

Expected output:

Learn norm

The example is checked against a locally packaged current library; an older public library package may use a different binding format. For a longer combined use case, see the import reference.

Try it: Change the raw heading's spacing and observe stringUtilsNormalizeSpace.

Precise rules: Module dependencies.
