repli v1.0.0

repli

Minimalist REPL client for node

Installation

npm install -g repli

Usage

1. Create a repl server somewhere in you application (see exemples/server.js):

   'use strict'
   const repl = require('repl')
   const net = require('net')
   
   net.createServer((socket) => {
     socket.write('Welcome\n')
   
     let replServer = repl.start({
       prompt: '> ',
       input: socket,
       output: socket,
       terminal: true,
       useGlobal: false
     })
   
     replServer.on('exit', () => socket.end())
   
     replServer.context.actions = {
       sayHello (who) {
         console.log('Hello %s !', who || 'World')
         socket.write('(Done)\n')
       }
     }
   
   }).listen(4242)

2. Then use repli to use it:

   repli localhost 4242
   > Connect to ip:127.0.0.1 (IPv4)
   Welcome
   > action.sayHello('Foobar')
   (Done)
   undefined
   > _
