Hilbish is *unique,* when interactive it first attempts to run input as
|
||||
Lua and then tries shell script. But if you're normal, you wouldn't
|
||||
really be using Hilbish anyway but you'd also not want this
|
||||
(or maybe want Lua only in some cases.)
|
||||
|
||||
The "runner mode" of Hilbish is customizable via `hilbish.runnerMode`,
|
||||
which determines how Hilbish will run user input. By default, this is
|
||||
set to `hybrid` 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 `hybridRev` and for isolated modes there is `sh` and `lua`
|
||||
respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
An example:
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
hilbish.runnerMode(function(input)
|
||||
local ok = pcall(fennel.eval, input)
|
||||
if ok then
|
||||
return input, 0, nil
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
return hilbish.runner.sh(input)
|
||||
end)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `hilbish.runner` interface is an alternative to using `hilbish.runnerMode`
|
||||
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'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
|
||||
`nil` to indicate no error.
|
||||
|
||||
## Functions
|
||||
These are the "low level" functions for the `hilbish.runner` interface.
|
||||
|
||||
+ setMode(mode) > The same as `hilbish.runnerMode`
|
||||
+ sh(input) -> input, code, err > Runs `input` in Hilbish's sh interpreter
|
||||
+ lua(input) -> input, code, err > Evals `input` as Lua code
|
||||
|
||||
The others here are defined in Lua and have EmmyLua documentation.
|
||||
These functions should be preferred over the previous ones.
|
||||
+ setCurrent(mode) > The same as `setMode`, but works with runners managed
|
||||
via the functions below.
|
||||
+ add(name, runner) > Adds a runner to a table of available runners. The `runner`
|
||||
argument is either a function or a table with a run callback.
|
||||
+ set(name, runner) > The same as `add` but requires passing a table and
|
||||
overwrites if the `name`d runner already exists.
|
||||
+ get(name) > runner > Gets a runner by name. It is a table with at least a
|
||||
run function, to run input.
|
||||
+ exec(cmd, runnerName) > Runs `cmd` with a runner. If `runnerName` isn't passed,
|
||||
the current runner mode is used.
|
||||
Hilbish allows you to change how interactive text can be interpreted.
|
||||
This is mainly due to the fact that the default method Hilbish uses
|
||||
is that it runs Lua first and then falls back to shell script.
|
||||
|
||||
In some cases, someone might want to switch to just shell script to avoid
|
||||
it while interactive but still have a Lua config, or go full Lua to use
|
||||
Hilbish as a REPL. This also allows users to add alternative languages,
|
||||
instead of either like Fennel.
