This repository hosts front-end code for Low-Level Academy, an interactive systems programming course.

Related repositories:

• WebAssembly modules
• Backend code

The project structure follows the Next.js conventions.

• pages - this directory contains all static pages.
• public - static content.
• components - all React components used in the lessons.
• playground - code that is based on the Rust playground UI.

Before building the website, you might need to setup the environment variables.

Create a file named .env.local and add the following contents:

GITHUB_TOKEN=<your GitHub personal access token>

This token is required for accessing the GitHub GraphQL API. You can create a new token in "Settings".

Run in the development mode:

npm run dev

Build for production:

npm run build

This website depends on WebAssembly modules.

You can find them in the wasm-modules repository, and you will need to build the virtualnet module using the following command:

cargo build --release --target wasm32-unknown-unknown

Then, you will need to place the resulting target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/virtualnet.wasm file into the public/ directory to make it work.

We use the default Prettier code format.
