Official vibe.d development

vibe.d is a high-performance asynchronous I/O, concurrency and web application toolkit written in D. It already contains many supplemental features such as database support to be able to offer a complete development environment. For more specialized needs, there are also many compatible DUB packages available.

Visit the website at https://vibed.org/ for more information and documentation.

Hello Vibe.d

#!/usr/bin/env dub
/+ dub.sdl:
   name "hello_vibed"
   dependency "vibe-d" version="~>0.9.0"
+/
import vibe.vibe;

void main()
{
    listenHTTP("127.0.0.1:8080", (req, res) {
        res.writeBody("Hello Vibe.d: " ~ req.path);
    });

    runApplication();
}

Download this file as hello.d and run it with DUB:

> dub hello.d

(or chmod +x and execute it: ./hello.d)

Alternatively, you can quickstart with examples directly on .

Support

Vibe.d supports the 10 latest minor releases of DMD. For example, if the current version is v2.090.1, then v2.089.x, v2.088.x, ... v2.080.x are supported. Note that support for patch release is desireable, but only support for the last patch in a minor is guaranteed.

Additionally, Vibe.d supports all LDC versions that implement the version of a supported frontend (e.g. by the previous rule LDC v1.20.0 implements v2.090.1 and would be supported).

Installation

Instead of explicitly installing vibe.d, it is recommended to use DUB for building vibe.d based applications. Once DUB is installed, you can create and run a new project using the following shell commands:

dub init <name> -t vibe.d
cd <name>
dub

Similarly, you can run an example by invoking dub from any of the example project directories.

Note that on non-Windows operating systems, you also need to have OpenSSL installed - and of course a D compiler. See below for instructions.

Additional setup on Windows

• Just install DMD using the installer on https://dlang.org/download.html
• And get the latest DUB release

Additional setup on Mac using brew

If you don't have brew installed, install it according to their install instructions.

You can then also install DUB using brew:

brew install dub

(Note: Install brew only if you do not have macports, as they will conflict)

Install DMD using the installer on https://dlang.org/download.html.

Optionally, run ./setup-mac.sh to create a user/group pair for privilege lowering.

Additional setup on Linux (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint)

Install vibe.d's dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

On 32-bit linux: Install DMD-i386

sudo apt-get install g++ gcc-multilib xdg-utils
wget "http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.098.0/dmd_2.098.0-0_i386.deb"
sudo dpkg -i dmd_2.098.0-0_i386.deb

On 64-bit linux: Install DMD-amd64

sudo apt-get install g++ gcc-multilib xdg-utils
wget "http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2.x/2.098.0/dmd_2.098.0-0_amd64.deb"
sudo dpkg -i dmd_2.098.0-0_amd64.deb

Optionally, run ./setup-linux.sh to create a user/group pair for privilege lowering.

Additional setup on Linux (generic)

You need to have the following dependencies installed:

• DMD 2.088.1 or greater
• libssl

Optionally, run ./setup-linux.sh to create a user/group pair for privilege lowering.

Additional setup on FreeBSD

Install the DMD compiler and vibe.d's dependencies using portupgrade or a similar mechanism:

sudo portupgrade -PN devel/pkgconf

Optionally, run ./setup-freebsd.sh to create a user/group pair for privilege lowering.

Switching between OpenSSL versions

By default, vibe.d is built against OpenSSL 1.1.x. On systems that use the older 1.0.x branch, this can be overridden on the DUB command line using --override-config vibe-d:tls/openssl-1.0. Alternatively, the same can be done using a sub configuration directive in the package recipe:

SDL syntax:

dependency "vibe-d:tls" version="~>0.8.2"
subConfiguration "vibe-d:tls" "openssl-1.0"

JSON syntax:

{
    ...
    "dependencies": {
        ...
        "vibe-d:tls": "*"
    },
    "subConfigurations": {
        ...
        "vibe-d:tls": "openssl-1.0"
    }
}

Finally, there is a "botan" configuration for using the D port of the Botan library.
