Features

The Rust language, in which Cynthia was written, has the ability to compile certain features on-demand only.

This means that the binary size of the compiled Cyntia can be reduced by only compiling the features that are needed.

List of features currently available

JS runtime environment server: js_runtime

[!TIP]
If disabled no Bun or Node runtime is needed.

[!NOTE]
js_runtime is a default feature. It can be disabled by running the compiler with the --no-default-features flag.

Functionality

The js_runtime feature allows Cynthia to offload some parts of it’s rendering process to Node. This enables some features like advanced Handlebars templating.

It is also a necessary part of Lumina for plugins written in JS. This is currently the only kind of plugins available, so this will mean Cynthia is no longer able to operate with plugins.
