System Library

🔗Introduction

The std/system library in Tim Engine provides the standard functions, built-in operators (like +, -, *) and also comparison operators (like ==, !=, <, >) that are essential for performing various operations in your templates and scripts. This library is automatically imported into every template, so you can use its functions and operators without needing to import it explicitly.

🔗OS operations

The std/system library provides a minimal set of functions for performing various OS operations, such as reading and writing files, sleeping for a specified duration

🔗writeFile

fn writeFile*(path: string, content: string)

Write a file with the specified content

🔗readFile

fn readFile*(path: string): string

Read a file and return its content as a string

🔗sleep

fn sleep*(duration: int)

Sleep for a specified duration (in milliseconds)

🔗JSON parsing

The std/system library also includes functions for parsing JSON data, which can be useful for working with APIs or configuration files.

🔗parseJson

fn parseJson*(content: string): json

Parse a JSON string and return it as a JSON object. This function takes a string containing JSON data, parses it, and returns the resulting JSON object.

🔗loadJson

fn loadJson*(path: string): json

Load JSON data from a file and return it as a JSON object. This function reads the contents of the specified file, parses it as JSON, and returns the resulting JSON object.

🔗remoteJson

fn remoteJson*(url: string): json

Load JSON data from a remote URL and return it as a JSON object. This function performs an HTTP GET request to the specified URL and parses the response as JSON.
