Build Status

Vicr stands for "Vim-like Interactive CRystal" and represents a tiny command line application that designed to quickly execute Crystal code with fast feedback and options to proceed:

$ brew install vicr

From sources:

$ git clone https://github.com/veelenga/vicr
$ cd vicr
$ make
$ sudo make install

Usage

Open terminal, run vicr, write your Crystal program, save and exit.

Options

Vicr is able to load file content for you to start playing with Crystal code straight away. For example:

# loads local file
$ vicr src/vicr/cli.cr

# loads Github file
$ vicr https://github.com/manastech/crystal/blob/master/samples/2048.cr

# loads Github gist
$ vicr https://gist.github.com/veelenga/a5b861ccd32ff559b7d2#file-benchmark_test-cr

# loads CarcIn file
$ vicr https://carc.in/#/r/rlj

# loads play.crystal-lang.org file
$ vicr https://play.crystal-lang.org/#/r/rlj

# loads raw file
$ vicr http://example.com/program.cr
