Package script provides helper functions to write scripts.
Inspired by [https://github.com/bitfield/script](https://github.com/bitfield/script), with some improvements:
* Output between streamed commands is a stream and not loaded to memory.
* Better representation and handling of errors.
* Proper incocation, usage and handling of stderr of custom commands.
The script chain is represented by a
[`Stream`](https://godoc.org/github.com/posener/script#Stream) object. While each command in the
stream is abstracted by the [`Command`](https://godoc.org/github.com/posener/script#Command)
struct. This library provides basic functionality, but can be extended freely.
## Examples
### HelloWorld
A simple "hello world" example that creats a stream and pipe it to the stdout.
```golang
// Create an "hello world" stream and use the ToStdout method to write it to stdout.
Echo("hello world").ToStdout()
```
Output:
```
hello world
```
### Iterate
An example that shows how to iterate scanned lines.
```golang
// Stream can be any stream, in this case we have echoed 3 lines.
stream := Echo("first\nsecond\nthird")
// To iterate over the stream lines, it is better not to read it into memory and split over the
// lines, but use the `bufio.Scanner`:
defer stream.Close()
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(stream)
for scanner.Scan() {
fmt.Println(scanner.Text())
}
```
Output:
```
first
second
third
```
### Through
An example that shows how to create custom commands using the `Through` method with a `PipeFn`
function.
```golang
Echo("1\n2\n3").Through(PipeFn(func(r io.Reader) (io.Reader, error) {
// Create a command that sums up all numbers in input.
//
// In this example we create a reader function such that the whole code will fit into the
// example function body. A more proper and readable way to do it was to create a new
// type with a state that implements the `io.Reader` interface.
// Use buffered reader to read lines from input.
buf := bufio.NewReader(r)
// Store the sum of all numbers.
sum := 0
// Read function reads the next line and adds it to the sum. If it gets and EOF error, it
// writes the sum to the output and returns an EOF.
read := func(b []byte) (int, error) {
// Read next line from input.
line, _, err := buf.ReadLine()
// if EOF write sum to output.
if err == io.EOF {
return copy(b, append([]byte(strconv.Itoa(sum)), '\n')), io.EOF
}
if err != nil {
return 0, err
}
// Convert the line to a number and add it to the sum.
if i, err := strconv.Atoi(string(line)); err == nil {
sum += i
}
// We don't write anything to output, so we return 0 bytes with no error.
return 0, nil
}
return readerFn(read), nil
})).ToStdout()
```
Output:
```
