<em class=text-muted>by <strong>sammyette</strong></em><div class=my-4><p>Hilbish is <em>unique,</em> when interactive it first attempts to run input as
Lua and then tries shell script. But if you&rsquo;re normal, you wouldn&rsquo;t
really be using Hilbish anyway but you&rsquo;d also not want this
(or maybe want Lua only in some cases.)</p><p>The &ldquo;runner mode&rdquo; of Hilbish is customizable via <code>hilbish.runnerMode</code>,
which determines how Hilbish will run user input. By default, this is
set to <code>hybrid</code> which is the previously mentioned behaviour of running Lua
first then going to shell script. If you want the reverse order, you can
set it to <code>hybridRev</code> and for isolated modes there is <code>sh</code> and <code>lua</code>
respectively.</p><p>You can also set it to a function, which will be called everytime Hilbish
needs to run interactive input. For example, you can set this to a simple
function to compile and evaluate Fennel, and now you can run Fennel.
You can even mix it with sh to make a hybrid mode with Lua replaced by
Fennel.</p><p>An example:
hilbish.runnerMode(function(input)
local ok = pcall(fennel.eval, input)
if ok then
return input, 0, nil
end</p><pre><code>return hilbish.runner.sh(input)
</code></pre><p>end)</p><p>The <code>hilbish.runner</code> interface is an alternative to using <code>hilbish.runnerMode</code>
and also provides the sh and Lua runner functions that Hilbish itself uses.
A runner function is expected to return 3 values: the input, exit code, and an error.
The input return is there incase you need to prompt for more input.
If you don&rsquo;t, just return the input passed to the runner function.
The exit code has to be a number, it will be 0 otherwise and the error can be
<code>nil</code> to indicate no error.</p><h3 id=functions class=heading>Functions
<a href=#functions class=heading-link><i class="fas fa-paperclip"></i></a></h3><p>These are the &ldquo;low level&rdquo; functions for the <code>hilbish.runner</code> interface.</p><ul><li>setMode(mode) > The same as <code>hilbish.runnerMode</code></li><li>sh(input) -> table > Runs <code>input</code> in Hilbish&rsquo;s sh interpreter</li><li>lua(input) -> table > Evals <code>input</code> as Lua code</li></ul><p>The table value that runners return can have at least 4 values:</p><ul><li><p>input (string): The full input text.</p></li><li><p>exitCode (number): Exit code (usually from a command)</p></li><li><p>continue (boolean): Whether to prompt the user for more input
(in the case of incomplete syntax)</p></li><li><p>err (string): A string that represents an error from the runner.
This should only be set when, for example, there is a syntax error.
It can be set to a few special values for Hilbish to throw the right
hooks and have a better looking message.</p></li><li><p><code>&lt;command>: not-found</code> will throw a <code>command.not-found</code> hook
based on what <code>&lt;command></code> is.</p></li><li><p><code>&lt;command>: not-executable</code> will throw a <code>command.not-executable</code> hook.</p></li></ul><p>The others here are defined in Lua and have EmmyLua documentation.
These functions should be preferred over the previous ones.</p><ul><li>setCurrent(mode) > The same as <code>setMode</code>, but works with runners managed
via the functions below.</li><li>add(name, runner) > Adds a runner to a table of available runners. The <code>runner</code>
argument is either a function or a table with a run callback.</li><li>set(name, runner) > The same as <code>add</code> but requires passing a table and
overwrites if the <code>name</code>d runner already exists.</li><li>get(name) > runner > Gets a runner by name. It is a table with at least a
run function, to run input.</li><li>exec(cmd, runnerName) > Runs <code>cmd</code> with a runner. If <code>runnerName</code> isn&rsquo;t passed,
the current runner mode is used.</li></ul></div></div></main><footer class="footer mt-auto mt-auto py-3 bg-light row border-top"><div class="col mb-3"></div><div class="col mb-3"><a href=/Hilbish class="d-flex align-items-center mb-3 link-dark text-decoration-none"><img src=/Hilbish/hilbish-logo-and-text.png alt height=48 class="d-inline-block align-text-top" style=margin-left:-20px></a><ul class="nav flex-column"><li class="nav-item mb-2"><a href=/Hilbish class="nav-link p-0 text-muted">Home</a></li><li class="nav-item mb-2"><a href=/Hilbish/docs/faq class="nav-link p-0 text-muted">FAQ</a></li><li class="nav-item mb-2"><a href=https://github.com/Rosettea/Hilbish class="nav-link p-0 text-muted">Source</a></li><li class="nav-item mb-2"><a href=https://github.com/Rosettea/Hilbish/releases class="nav-link p-0 text-muted">Releases</a></li><li class="nav-item mb-2"><a href=/Hilbish/docs class="nav-link p-0 text-muted">Documentation</a></li></ul></div><div class="col mb-3"></div><div class="col mb-3"></div><div class="col mb-3"></div><div class="col mb-3"><p class="text-muted mt-4">Rosettea &copy; 2022-2023<br>Made with <i class="fa-solid fa-heart" style=color:#f6345b></i></p></div><div class="col mb-3"></div></footer></body></html>
