# Bazel support
To get [Bazel](https://bazel.build/) working with {fmt} you can copy the files `BUILD.bazel`, `WORKSPACE.bazel`, and `.bazelversion` from this folder (`support/bazel`) to the root folder of this project. This way {fmt} gets bazelized and can be used with Bazel (e.g. doing a `bazel build //...` on {fmt}).

## Using {fmt} as a dependency
The following minimal example shows how to use {fmt} as a dependency within a Bazel project.
### Using Bzlmod
The [Bazel Central Registry](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-central-registry/tree/main/modules/fmt) provides support for {fmt}.
For instance, to use {fmt} add to your `MODULE.bazel` file:
```
bazel_dep(name = "fmt", version = "10.2.1")
```
For a live-at-head approach, you can copy the contents of this repository and move the Bazel-related build files to the root folder of this project as described above and make use of `local_path_override`, e.g.:
```
local_path_override(
module_name = "fmt",
path = "../third_party/fmt",
)
```
### WORKSPACE system
The following minimal example shows how to use {fmt} as a dependency within a Bazel project,
that uses the traditional, repository-focused WORKSPACE system.
Note that in the long term Bazel will only support Bzlmod.
The following file structure is assumed:

The *BUILD* file defines a binary named `Demo` that has a dependency to {fmt}.
To execute the binary you can run `bazel run //:Demo`.
