Easily run .re and .ml files directly in your BuckleScript project.

Note that bs-run does not compile .re and .ml files, it will execute yarn build and will use the BuckleScript compiled files.

Suggested flow to use bs-run:

  npm -g install bs-run

Install VSCode formulahendry.code-runner (a VS Code extension):

1. Edit your vscode user/workspace settings:

  "code-runner.executorMapByFileExtension": {
    ".re": "bs-run",
    ".ml": "bs-run"
  },

for OCaml you might also have to change:
  "code-runner.executorMap": {
    "ocaml": "bs-run",
  },

2. Add in cmd+shift+p -> Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON):

{
  "key": "shift+enter",
  "command": "code-runner.run",
  "when": "editorTextFocus"
}

3. While in a .re or .ml file use shift+enter to run it

Now you can log and test short snippets of your code.
