Bundling

Fry offers an integrated bundling tool for FatScript code.

Usage

To bundle your project into a single file starting from the entry point, execute:

fry -b sweet mySweetProject.fat

This process consolidates all imports, except for standard libraries and literal paths, and removes spaces and comments to enhance load times:

• Adds a shebang to bundled code
• Receives the execute attribute for file mode

Subsequently, you can run your program:

./sweet

the bundling will replace any $break statements (debugger breakpoint) with ()

Obfuscating

For optional obfuscation, use -o:

fry -o sweet mySweetProject.fat  # creates the obfuscated bundle
./sweet                          # executes your program as usual

When distributing via public hosts, consider setting a custom key with a local .fryrc. Only the client should be privy to this key to safeguard the source.

Obfuscation leverages enigma algorithm for encryption, ensuring swift decoding. For optimal load times, prefer -b if obfuscation isn't essential.

Caveats

Imports are deduplicated and inlined based on their order of first appearance. As a result, the sequence in which you import your files could play a role in the final bundled output. Though these considerations are usually inconsequential for small projects, bundling larger projects may require additional organization. Always validate your bundled output.
