# Warp
|
|
Warp lets you create self-contained single binary applications making it simpler and more ergonomic to deliver your application to your customers. A self-contained binary is specially convenient when the technology you use, such as Node.js, .NET Core, Java and others, contain many dependencies that must be shipped alongside your application.
|
|
|
|
Warp is written in Rust and is supported on Linux, Windows and macOS.
|
|
|
|
## Quickstart with Node.js
|
|
### Linux
|
|
**Create the directory for the application**
|
|
```sh
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel$ mkdir myapp
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ cd myapp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Create main application** - `app.js`
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var lodash = require('lodash');
|
|
var output = lodash.without([1, 2, 3], 1);
|
|
console.log(output);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Download Node.js distribution**
|
|
```sh
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.12.0/node-v8.12.0-linux-x64.tar.xz
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ xz -dc node-v8.12.0-linux-x64.tar.xz | tar xvf -
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Install dependencies**
|
|
```sh
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ node-v8.12.0-linux-x64/bin/npm install lodash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Remove unneeded files**
|
|
```sh
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ rm -r node-v8.12.0-linux-x64/include node-v8.12.0-linux-x64/share node-v8.12.0-linux-x64/lib
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ rm node-v8.12.0-linux-x64/bin/npm node-v8.12.0-linux-x64/bin/npx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Create launcher script*** - `launch`
|
|
```sh
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
NODE_DIST=node-v8.12.0-linux-x64
|
|
APP_MAIN_JS=app.js
|
|
|
|
DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" ; pwd -P)"
|
|
NODE_EXE=$DIR/$NODE_DIST/bin/node
|
|
NODE_PATH=$DIR/node_modules
|
|
APP_MAIN_JS_PATH=$DIR/$APP_MAIN_JS
|
|
|
|
exec $NODE_EXE $APP_MAIN_JS_PATH $@
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Download `warp-packer`**
|
|
|
|
If you save `warp-packer` in a directory in your PATH, you only need to download it once.
|
|
```sh
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ cd ..
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel$ curl -Lo warp-packer https://github.com/dgiagio/warp/releases/download/v0.2.1/linux-x64.warp-packer
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel$ chmod +x warp-packer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Create your self-contained application**
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel$ ./warp-packer --arch linux-x64 --input_dir myapp --exec launch --output myapp.bin
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel$ chmod +x myapp.bin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Run your self-contained application**
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel$ ./myapp.bin
|
|
[ 2, 3 ]
|
|
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel$
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

## Quickstart with Java
|
|
_In progress_
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
Warp is a multi-platform tool written in Rust and is comprised of two programs: `warp-runner` and `warp-packer`.
|
|
|
|
The final self-contained single binary application consists of two parts: 1) runner and 2) the compressed target application executable and dependencies.
|
|
|
|
<img src="https://image.ibb.co/bBe669/warp_app_binary.png" width="272">
|
|
|
|
`warp-runner` is a stub application that knows how to find the compressed payload within its own binary, perform extraction to a local cache and execute the target application.
|
|
|
|
The extraction process only happens the first time the application is ran, or when the self-contained application binary is updated.
|
|
|
|
`warp-packer` is a CLI application that's used to create the self-contained application binary by downloading the matching `warp-runner` for the chosen platform, compressing the target application and its dependencies, and generating the final self-contained binary.
|
|
|
|
### Performance
|
|
The performance characteristics of the generated self-contained application is roughly the same of original application, except for the first time it's ran as the target application and its dependencies have to be decompressed to a local cache.
|
|
|
|
### Packages cache location
|
|
- Linux: `$HOME/.local/share/warp/packages`
|
|
- macOS: `$HOME/Library/Application Support/warp/packges`
|
|
- Windows: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\warp/packages`
|
|
|
|
### Runners cache location
|
|
- Linux: `$HOME/.local/share/warp/runners`
|
|
- macOS: `$HOME/Library/Application Support/warp/runners`
|
|
- Windows: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\warp\runners`
|
|
|
|
## FAQ
|
|
### `warp-packer` is unable to download the runner because it doesn't support proxy, what can I do?
|
|
You can manually download the runner from the GitHub releases page yourself and save it locally to your runners cache directory. E.g. if you want to build a `linux-x64` self-contained app you should download `linux-x64.warp-runner` and save it as `<RUNNERS_CACHE>/<VERSION>/linux-x64`. Replace `<RUNNERS_CACHE>` with the [matching location in your system](#runners-cache-location) and `<VERSION>` with the matching `warp-packer -V` version.
