Bonsai - Visual Reactive Programming

Download Bonsai CI Status Discord Community GitHub Discussions

This is the main repository for the Bonsai visual programming language. It contains source code for the compiler, IDE, and standard library.

With Bonsai you tell your computer what to do not through long listings of text but by manipulating graphical elements in a workflow. Bonsai is built on top of Rx.NET, and like in Rx, workflow elements in Bonsai represent asynchronous streams of data called Observables which can be connected together to perform complex operations.

Building from Source

Windows

  1. Install Visual Studio 2022. The Community Edition is available free of charge for open-source projects. Make sure the .NET Desktop Development workload is selected when running the installer.
  2. Open Bonsai.sln and select Build > Build Solution from the VS menu.

Installer

  1. Install the Wix Toolset build tools version 3.11 or greater.
  2. From Visual Studio menu, select Extensions > Manage Extensions and install the WiX Toolset Visual Studio 2022 Extension.

Debugging

The new bootstrapper logic makes use of isolated child processes to manage local editor extensions. To make it easier to debug the entire process tree we recommend installing the Child Process Debugging Power Tool extension.
