This repository presents a working example of how Catala could be distributed and deployed inside existing applications. Each sub-folder is specialized for a particular programming language, and features a ready-to-use library of all the French public algorithms coded up using Catala so far.
Pre-built artifacts for the OCaml, JS and Python backends are available at
https://catalalang.github.io/catala/ ; they are automatically updated to follow
the latest updates of the development version of Catala (master branch).
Let us say you want to deploy a Catala program inside an application written
in programming language X. The Catala compiler will translate the source
Catala program into X, yielding a new .x source code file. This .x file
will export functions corresponding to the scopes of the original Catala
program. You can then reuse those exported functions in your application written
in X.
The code for the examples here is provided in the catala-examples repository; see its Makefile for how the base packages are created (for ocamlfind/dune, npm, pip). The code here shows examples of how to use those:
