Error: unix_inet_addr_of_string not implemented by BuckleScript yet

#1

I’m very new in ReasonML and BuckleScript and also OCaml.

When I run a script which contains

require('bs-platform/lib/js/unix.js')

The runtime emits Error: unix_inet_addr_of_string not implemented by BuckleScript yet while the ReasonML and BuckleScript API docs are mentioning that there is a standard OCaml library which also has Unix module without any notes.

What is the current status of the Unix module from BuckleScript? Do you use Node module instead in general?

Same with me. I get this error when trying to use anything from Unix API.

Hi, some OCaml modules are not implemented by BuckleScript due to platform differences (native vs JavaScript). Most of the differences are listed in this page: https://bucklescript.github.io/docs/en/difference-from-native-ocaml

But it looks like the Unix difference was missed, it will need to be added in.

If you’re targeting Node, then you would use the normal equivalent Node APIs.

Thanks for clarification! Yes, I ended up declaring external reference to Node function.
