What problem does it solve?
East programs currently lack built-in access to Node.js platform APIs for I/O, cryptography, timing, and utilities. This Skill provides a bridge to these platform capabilities, enabling East code to perform common runtime tasks efficiently.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Console I/O: log, error, and write to stdout/stderr.
- FileSystem: read/write files, directories, and perform binary I/O, with support for exists/isFile/isDirectory.
- Fetch: HTTP requests for data retrieval.
- Crypto & Time: hashing, UUIDs, random bytes, and time-based operations.
- Path & Random: path manipulation and random distributions for simulations.
- Testing: describeEast and Assert helpers for tests in East projects.
Quick Start
Example: East.function([StringType], NullType, ($, path) => { const content = $.let(FileSystem.readFile(path)); $(Console.log(content)); });
