Introduction to Scripty

Scripty is a powerful and versatile library designed to simplify the process of writing scripts and achieving various tasks programmatically. It offers dozens of APIs that can be leveraged for different purposes, making it a go-to choice for developers. In this guide, we will explore some of the most useful APIs provided by Scripty along with code snippets and examples.

Useful Scripty APIs

1. File System Operations

The File System APIs allow you to interact with the file system effortlessly. Below are some examples:

  const fs = require('scripty/fs');
// Read a file fs.readFile('path/to/file.txt', 'utf8', (err, data) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(data);
});
// Write to a file fs.writeFile('path/to/file.txt', 'Hello, World!', (err) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('File has been saved!');
});
// Append to a file fs.appendFile('path/to/file.txt', 'Appending some text.', (err) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('Text has been appended!');
});  

2. HTTP Requests

The HTTP APIs allow you to make HTTP requests with ease. Here are some examples:

  const http = require('scripty/http');
// Make a GET request http.get('http://example.com', (response) => {
  let data = '';
  response.on('data', (chunk) => {
    data += chunk;
  });
  response.on('end', () => {
    console.log(data);
  });
});
// Make a POST request const postData = JSON.stringify({ username: 'user', password: 'pass' }); const options = {
  hostname: 'example.com',
  port: 80,
  path: '/login',
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(postData),
  },
};
const req = http.request(options, (res) => {
  let data = '';
  res.on('data', (chunk) => {
    data += chunk;
  });
  res.on('end', () => {
    console.log(data);
  });
});
req.write(postData); req.end();  

3. Utility Functions

Scripty also offers a set of utility functions that can be very handy. Below are some utilities with examples:

  const util = require('scripty/util');
// Format a date const date = new Date(); console.log(util.formatDate(date, 'YYYY-MM-DD'));
// Generate a random string console.log(util.randomString(10));  

Scripty App Example

Now, let’s see an example of a simple application using Scripty APIs:

  const fs = require('scripty/fs'); const http = require('scripty/http'); const util = require('scripty/util');
// Step 1: Make an HTTP GET request http.get('http://example.com/api/data', (response) => {
  let data = '';
  response.on('data', (chunk) => {
    data += chunk;
  });
  response.on('end', () => {
    // Step 2: Write the response data to a file
    fs.writeFile('path/to/data.txt', data, (err) => {
      if (err) throw err;
      console.log('Data has been written to file.');

      // Step 3: Read and display the file content
      fs.readFile('path/to/data.txt', 'utf8', (err, fileData) => {
        if (err) throw err;
        console.log('File Content:', fileData);
      });
    });
  });
});  

Using the example above, you can now create a script that fetches data from an API, saves it to a file, and then reads and logs the data from the file.

With Scripty, the possibilities are endless. Whether you’re working on a simple script or a complex application, Scripty’s extensive APIs can help you achieve your goals with ease.
