spool-repl

REPL Spool. Adds an interactive shell to your Fabrix app to help with development and debugging. Saves command history between sessions.

Usage

The repl spool is loaded in your spool config per usual.

// config/main.ts
import { REPLSpool } from '@fabrix/spool-repl'
export const main = {
  // ...
  spools: [
    // ...
    REPLSpool
  ]
}

// config/repl.ts
export const repl = {
  /**
   * REPL is disabled automatically if no text terminal is available. Set
   * to "true" to override this behavior.
   */
  allowNoTTY: false
}

options("/api/v1/default/info", 'some=data', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', {'Accept': 'text/xml'})
post("/api/v1/default/info", 'some=data', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', {'Accept': 'text/xml'})
put("/api/v1/default/info", 'some=data', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', {'Accept': 'text/xml'})
patch("/api/v1/default/info", 'some=data', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', {'Accept': 'text/xml'})
