10911 :: import compiler

  I have a need to compile a different source file in my project and I use a primitive solution.

  import std/osproc
  
  let command = &"nim compile {options} {source}"
  command.execCmd()
  Run

  However, I think it would be more appropriate to do something like this, but the compiler module can't import.

  
  import std/compiler
  
  source.compile()
  Run

  It is possible to import the compiler in this way and what module needs to be imported?

  thanks

  Thank you. For my needs, I will probably stick with the system call &"nim compile {options} {source}".execCmd()
