Generating PHP extensions is now possible with https://github.com/openpeeps/clue 😂
Don't try to install via pkg manager (some nim files are missing), clone it instead.
phpModule do:
name = "hello"
version = "0.1.0"
proc helloWorld(name: string) =
echo "👋 Hey there ", name, " 👑 Nim is Awesome!"Use -d:clueDebugExtension to inspect the generated Nim code
var moduleEntry {.inject.}: ptr zend_module_entry
var functionEntry {.inject.}: ptr zend_function_entry
proc nim_module_init(typ {.inject.}: cint; module_number {.inject.}: cint): cint {.
cdecl.} =
phpclue_zend_result_success()
proc helloWorld(ctx: ptr zend_execute_data; retTy: ptr zval): void {.cdecl.} =
var name: cstring = nil
var nameLen: csize_t = 0
if phpclue_zend_parse_parameters(ctx, "s", addr(name), addr(nameLen)) !=
phpclue_zend_result_success():
phpclue_throw_type_error(("$1: Argument 1 passed must be of type string" %
["helloWorld"]))
return
echo "👋 Hey there ", name, " 👑 Nim is Awesome!"
proc phpclue_nim_module_entry*(): ptr zend_module_entry {.cdecl, exportc, dynlib.} =
## The main entry point for the PHP extension, which will be called by PHP
## when the extension is loaded.
var paramCheckArg_536870949 {.inject.} = phpclue_arginfo_alloc(1.csize_t)
phpclue_arginfo_set_typed(paramCheckArg_536870949, 0, false, "name",
phpclue_get_IS_STRING(), false)
paramCheckArg_536870949 = phpclue_arginfo_finalize(paramCheckArg_536870949,
1.csize_t)
functionEntry = phpclue_fe_alloc(csize_t(2))
phpclue_fe_set(functionEntry, csize_t(0), "helloWorld", helloWorld,
paramCheckArg_536870949, 0'u32, 0'u32)
phpclue_fe_end(functionEntry, csize_t(2))
moduleEntry = phpclue_module_alloc()
phpclue_module_init(m = moduleEntry, name = cstring("hello"),
version = cstring("0.1.0"), functionEntry,
nim_module_init, mshutdown = nil, rinit = nil,
rshutdown = nil, minfo = nil)
moduleEntry
Next on my todo list, add same DSL for generating N-API addons (via pkg/denim), python is next (pkg/nimpy), ruby and more, so basically jsModule do, rubyModule pyModule, and maybe a initModules template that can wrap all modules. Crazy!
