# Rope

Implementation of a [rope datastructure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_(data_structure)) in zig.

Based on the MIT-Licensed implementation of noahbald: https://github.com/noahbald/noe

Please check out his excelent [write up](https://www.noahwbaldwin.me/blogs/writing-an-editor) about the implementation of an editor in zig.

Another great resource for ropes has been created by [Zed](https://zed.dev/blog/zed-decoded-rope-sumtree), it is worth reading to further understand the implementation details of this implementation.

## Usage

To add or update `rope` as a dependency in your project run the following command:

```sh
zig fetch --save git+https://gitea.yves-biener.de/yves-biener/rope
```

Add the dependency to your module as follows in your *build.zig*:

```zig
const zterm: *Dependency = b.dependency("rope", .{
    .target = target,
    .optimize = optimize,
});
```
