The CasualOS REPL allows you to interact with the CasualOS API using a Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL).
It supports JavaScript and has a special function, query([procedure], [input]), that can be used to query the API.

REPL Usage

The CasualOS REPL allows you to interact with the CasualOS API using a Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL).

It supports JavaScript and has a special function, query([procedure], [input]), that can be used to query the API. You can access it via the repl command.

After every evaluation, the _ variable will contain the result of the evaluation. Additionally, you can assign values to variables to store them for the entire session.

query([procedure], [input])

The query() function can be used inside a REPL session to query the API of the currently set endpoint. It accepts two optional parameters, procedure and input, and returns a promise that resolves with the result of the query. Because it returns a promise, you can use the await keyword on it to get the result of the query.

• procedure should be a string and is the name of the procedure that should be executed. If omitted, then you will be prompted from a list of available procedures.

• input can be any JavaScript value that matches the schema of the procedure. If omitted, then you will be prompted to fill in values for the procedure input.

To use query() in a REPL session, run await query(). This will start a query and wait until the query has a result. If you already know which operation you want to execute, you can run await query("procedureName"). This will skip the initial selector, but will still prompt you for inputs. If you already have the procedure and inputs, then you can run await query("procedureName", input). This will skip all prompts and will return the procedure result directly back to you.

If you don't provide an input, then query() will automatically prompt you for inputs based on the metadata of the procedure. When answering prompts for query(), you can use a script by entering a . at the start of the input value. This will let you use the result of a JavaScript expression for the value. For example, when entering a string for expireTimeMs, you could write .Date.now() - (1000 * 60 * 60) to calculate 1 hour in the past in miliseconds. If you want to write a string that starts with a period (.), then just write two dots at the start. For example, instead of .myString, you would write ..myString. These special instructions only apply to the query() function inside repl, and not to the query command.
