Quic

quic is a thin Ruby binding around ngtcp2 for the QUIC transport protocol, with LibreSSL as the TLS backend. Both dependencies are vendored at install time via mini_portile2 (no system libraries required).

The gem is intentionally optimized for synchronous I/O and String-based buffers. It exposes ngtcp2 primitives (#read_pkt / #write_pkt / #expiry / #handle_expiry) and lets the caller own the I/O loop. If you need Fiber Scheduler / IO::Buffer / async ecosystem integration, see socketry/protocol-quic instead.

This project is in early development; the public API is not yet stable.

Installation

Not yet released to RubyGems.org. To use from a Gemfile while it is in development:

gem "quic", github: "unasuke/quic-ruby"

The native extension downloads and builds LibreSSL and ngtcp2 release tarballs during bundle install, so the host needs autoconf, automake, libtool, pkg-config, and a C toolchain available.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then run bundle exec rake to compile the C extension and run the tests + linter. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install.
