# scpt
scpt is an applescript-inspired scripting language written for fun and to see if I could.
[![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/gitea.arsenm.dev/Arsen6331/scpt.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/gitea.arsenm.dev/Arsen6331/scpt)
---
### Usage
scpt is to be used as a library imported into Go. A basic interpreter with no extra functionality would look like this:
```go
package main
import (
"gitea.arsenm.dev/Arsen6331/scpt"
"log"
"os"
"path/filepath"
)
func main() {
filename := os.Args[1]
file, err := os.Open(filepath.Clean(filename))
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
defer file.Close()

ast, err := scpt.Parse(file)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
err = ast.Execute()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
}
```

### Basic Syntax
The basic syntax of scpt can be learned from the test.scpt file.
---
### Default Functions
scpt comes with the following default functions:
- `str`: Convert value to string
- `num`: Parse string to number (`float64`)
- `bool`: Parse string to boolean
- `break`: Break out of loop (Errors if not in loop)
- `append`: Return an array with given items appended
- `exit`: Exit with given exit code
- `return`: Return value in function (Errors if not within function)
- `print`: Print using `fmt.Println()`
---
### Adding functionality:
Adding functionality is simple and requires a call to `scpt.AddFuncs()` or `scpt.AddVars()`. Here are some examples:
```go
scpt.AddFuncs(scpt.FuncMap{
"my-function": myFunction
})
```
Where `myFunction` is:
```go
func myFunction(args map[string]interface{}) (interface{}, error) {
fmt.Println(args)
return nil, nil
}
```
After the call to `scpt.AddFuncs()`, `my-function` can be used to run the function from within an scpt script. Variables work similarly.
