jacket

A Nim wrapper for the JACK C API

Project status

This software is in alpha status and has no official release yet.

The basic JACK APIs (client lifecycle, ports, callbacks) have been wrapped and are functional (see examples), but MIDI, transport and meta-data APIs still need wrapping. Also, symbol names may still be changed and things moved around before the first public release.

Also, I plan to add a higher-level abstraction on top of the direct mapping from Nim procs and types to C functions and types, probably in the form of a JACk client object, which takes care of a JACK client instance, registering ports and setting up all the callbacks necessary for a well-behaved JACK application.

Installation

• Clone this repository.
• Change into the jacket directory.
• Run nimble install (or nimble develop).
