Run scripts

Create a lum_run.lua file in current directory that returns a table with pairs keys-value. To activate some script use lum run <script_name> where <script_name> is a key of return table. You can create a lum_run.lua file with lum init. You can create a lum_run.lua under .lum folder in your home directory to add global run scripts.

-- lum_run.lua
return {
    my_script = "echo \"Echoing this with lum run myscript\"",
    function_script = function(app, args) -- can be a function
        -- app: cli instance
        -- args: rest of arguments passed after command script name. It's a table.
        print("Hi from a function script")
    end,
    table_script_run_string = {
        description = "...", -- set description
        run = "echo \"Echo from a script as table with run string\"" -- string/function. If string, description is placed to this
    },
    table_script_run_function = {
        description = "...", -- set description
        run = function(app, args)
            -- script process
        end,
    }
}

Run scripts with: lum run <script_name>

$ lum run my_script
Echoing this with lum run my_script
$ lum run function_script
Hi from a function script

User configuration

You can add global commands and scripts to builtin.

Under `/home//.lum, lum load:

• user scripts: lum_run.lua
• user commands: /commands (folder that contains lummander commands .lua)

Note: package.path is modified to load only these files. If you need require other files, do it inside the command action function or scripts as functions.
