Slangroom-exec

The missing slangroom executor

---

✨ Slangroom-exec features

slangroom-exec is a simple utility that reads from STDIN the following content

1. conf
2. slangroom-contract
3. data
4. keys
5. extra
6. context

separated each per new-line and encoded in base64 (it seems difficult, but slexfe helper tool is here for that) and outputs the slangroom execution to stoud.

🎮 Quick start

Slangroom-exec is in mise and can be installed from it or directly from github releases:

# download the executable from mise
mise use "aqua:dyne/slangroom-exec"
# or from github releases
wget https://github.com/dyne/slangroom-exec/releases/latest/download/slangroom-exec-$(uname)-$(uname -m) -O ~/.local/bin/slangroom-exec && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/slangroom-exec

# execute a simple slangroom contract
wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dyne/slangroom-exec/main/test/fixtures/welcome.slex | slangroom-exec

💾 Build

To be able to build slangroom-exec you need the following dependencies to be available in your PATH:

• node@22
• bun@1.1.40

You can install them by hand or use mise and run mise install in the root of the repository.

You can build the executable following the steps:

# clone the repository and enter in it
git clone https://github.com/dyne/slangroom-exec
cd slangroom-exec

# if you decided to use mise now run: mise install

# build the executable
make slangroom-exec

🪛 Slexfe

The SLangroom-EXec Format Encode (aka slexfe) script is used to encode the human readable input of slangroom-exec, i.e.

• the slangroom configuration
• the slangroom contract
• the slangroom keys/data/extra/context

into the base64 multiline encoded machine-readable version of it and the result is printed to stdout.

💾 Install

Slexfe can be installed directly from github releases:

wget https://github.com/dyne/slangroom-exec/releases/latest/download/slexfe -O ~/.local/bin/slexfe && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/slexfe

🧩 Usage

As said before slexfe can take in input up to 6 files and they should be iondicated with the right flag:

-c  for conf
-s  for slangroom-contract
-d  for data
-k  for keys
-e  for extra
-x  for context

If all the files have the same name and they follow the slangroom name contention, that is:

• conf: ${name}.conf
• slangroom-contract: ${name}.slang
• data: ${name}.data.json
• keys: ${name}.keys.json
• extra: ${name}.extra.json
• context: ${name}.context

you can use the -F flag. So for example

slexfe -c hello.conf -s hello.slang -d hello.data.json -k hello.keys.json -e hello.extra.json -x hello.context

will be equal to

slexfe -F hello

Pay attention, this works also when not all the files are definted.

A last feature to help in the easier cases, when something is passed in /dev/stdin to slexfe, e.g.:

cat hello.slang | slexfe

it is interpreted as the slangroom contract. This also overwrites the --slangroom-contract option flag if passed as a duplicate.
