Cease 🛑

Cease is a modern, lightweight Domain Specific Language (DSL) built for Node.js. It is designed to simplify Discord Webhook automation through a clean, readable syntax that can be executed directly from the CLI or via scripted files.

LICENSE: MIT

✨ Features

• Hybrid Execution: Run commands directly in your terminal or via .ce script files.
• Interactive Builder: Built-in CLI prompts for creating complex Discord Embeds on the fly.
• Zero Dependencies: Lightweight and fast, utilizing native Node.js 2026 APIs.
• Global Access: Once installed via NPM, use the cease command from any directory.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Installation

Install the Cease interpreter globally using NPM:

npm install -g @egyptron/cease

📘 Documentation & Technical Specs

1. Language Architecture

Cease is built using a Recursive Line-Scanner architecture. Unlike general-purpose languages that use complex Abstract Syntax Trees (AST), Cease uses a high-speed Pattern Matcher to identify flags and multi-line properties.

2. Command Anatomy

Every Cease command follows this structure: [keyword] "[destination]" [flag] "[data]"

• Keyword (cease): The entry point for the interpreter.
• Destination: A double-quoted string containing a valid Discord Webhook URL.
• Flags:
  • --t: (Text Mode) Triggers a content payload.
  • --e: (Embed Mode) Triggers a multi-line embeds payload.
• Data: Contextual data (messages or property definitions).

3. Embed Property Keywords

When using the --e flag in a .ce file, the following keywords are reserved:

| Keyword | Accepted Value | Purpose | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Title: | String | Sets the bold header of the embed. | | Desc: | String | Sets the main body text of the embed. | | Color: | Hex Code | Sets the sidebar color (e.g., #7289da). |

4. Interactive Mode

If the --e flag is detected in a Direct Terminal Command (no .ce file provided), Cease enters a Readline State.

1. It pauses the Node.js process.
2. It opens an asynchronous stream to stdin.
3. It collects user input for each property and compiles them into a JSON object.
4. It resolves the network request before closing the stream.

5. Execution Lifecycle

1. Normalization: Code is stripped of whitespace and split into a command array.
2. Flag Detection: The interpreter determines the payload type.
3. Payload Construction: JSON is built according to Discord's API v10 specifications.
4. Asynchronous Dispatch: The fetch API sends the POST request.
5. Graceful Exit: The process sets process.exitCode to 0 and performs a natural cleanup to prevent Windows libuv errors.

🔒 Security & Requirements

• Node.js: Requires version 20.x or higher (Tested on v24+).
• Network: Requires an active internet connection to reach discord.com.
• Privacy: Cease does not log or store Webhook URLs; they are only used for the duration of the execution.
