FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a standard OCaml project structure with dune and opam?▼

A standard OCaml project scaffold requires root-level files including dune-project, dune, .ocamlformat, LICENSE.md, and README.md to ensure consistent build, packaging, and CI across libraries.

What files are required to prepare an OCaml library for an opam release?▼

Preparing an OCaml library for an opam release requires standardizing root files like dune-project, .ocamlformat, and LICENSE.md, while ensuring proper module interfaces and CI configuration are in place.

How do I enforce consistent formatting and documentation in an OCaml project?▼

You enforce consistent OCaml formatting and documentation by defining a standard .ocamlformat file and providing guidance for .mli interfaces to improve API clarity and maintainability across the project.

Why does my OCaml CI workflow fail due to missing project metadata?▼

OCaml CI workflows fail due to missing project metadata like the .ocamlformat file, missing license headers, or absent CI configuration templates required for consistent build and packaging.

Can I automate audits for missing dune-project or .ocamlformat files in OCaml?▼

Yes, you can automate audits for OCaml projects by running consistency checks that flag common gaps such as missing .ocamlformat files, missing license headers, or incomplete dune-project configurations using provided templates.
