quickstart

const { Command,  CommandLibrary,initializeCommand} = require('devSpeed-commandsjs')
// first step create a command 
const myCommand = new Command({
    trigger: "myCommand",
    execute: function(){
        console.log('myCommand has been called')
    }
})
// second step save your command to the CommandLibrary
const commands = new CommandLibrary([myCommand])
// last initialize your commands 
initializeCommand("myCommand", commands) // results myCommand has been called

Setup Process

there are 4 steps to seting setup

Step 1

• create a commands folder
• in the commands folder create sayhello.js file
• in the sayhello.js write this code

 const {Command} = require('devspeed-commandsjs');

 const sayhello = new Command({
    trigger: "sayhello"
    execute: function(){
        console.log('hello')
    }
 })
 module.exports = sayhello;

The Command class makes it easier to create an command. the trigger field trigger the command the execute field is the function that is being called when the command is being initialize

Step 2

create a commandlibrary to hold all of our command. create a index.js file in your commands folder

const  {CommandLibrary} = require('devspeed-commandsjs');

const sayhello = require('./sayhello.js')

const commands = new CommandLibrary([
    sayhello,
])

module.exports = commands;

The CommandLibrary class also makes it easy to store commands.

last step

back in your main file we will need a command executer to execute our commands. we will import or commands from our commands folder and pass it to the Executer, the Executer will than check if the trigger matches one of the commands and than call the execute method attach.

 const {Executer} = require('devspeed-commandsjs')
 const commands = require('./commands/index')

 const executer = new Executer(commands)

executer.initializeCommand('sayhello') // hello logged to the console 

---

The Executer class have all the methods to execute a command.

features

passing args

Passing args to the execute function. imagine your working on a project and you need to past an arg to the execute function. this feature allow you to do exactly that.

 const executer = new Executer([testCommand])
 const LastArg = 'arg3';

 executer.initializeCommand('Test', 'arg1', 'arg2', lastArg) 

when we trigger the command we can send args to the execute function

  const testCommand = new Command({
    name: 'Test command',
    trigger: 'Test',
    execute: function(arg){
         console.log(arg) // ['arg1', arg2, arg3]
    }
  })
