A pure, fast and (severely!) limited version of Clojure in Clojure for shell scripting.
2019-08-09 12:51:42 +00:00
Properties:
- pure (no side effects)
2019-08-09 13:48:54 +00:00
- fast startup time
2019-08-09 12:51:42 +00:00
- interprets only one form
- reads from stdin and writes to stdout
## Status
2019-08-09 13:48:54 +00:00
Experimental. Not all Clojure core functions are supported yet, but can be
easily
[added](https://github.com/borkdude/babashka/blob/master/src/babashka/interpreter.clj#L10). PRs
welcome.

## Usage
2019-08-09 12:51:42 +00:00
2019-08-09 13:48:54 +00:00
The first argument to `bb` is the form to be executed. There is one special
2019-08-09 15:38:26 +00:00
variable, `*in*` which is EDN that is piped from stdin.
2019-08-09 12:51:42 +00:00
2019-08-09 13:48:54 +00:00
If the first argument is `--version`, then `bb` will print the version and exit.
2019-08-09 15:38:26 +00:00
If the first argument is `--raw`, then `bb` will interpret stdin as string input.
2019-08-09 12:51:42 +00:00
Examples:
``` shellsession
2019-08-09 15:38:26 +00:00
$ ls | bb --raw '*in*'
["LICENSE" "README.md" "bb" "doc" "pom.xml" "project.clj" "reflection.json" "resources" "script" "src" "target" "test"]
2019-08-09 15:40:36 +00:00
$ ls | bb --raw '(count *in*)'
2019-08-09 15:38:26 +00:00
11
2019-08-09 12:51:42 +00:00
$ echo '[1 1 1 1 2]' | bb '(vec (dedupe *in*))'
[1 2]
$ echo '[1 1 1 1 2]' | bb '(inc (first *in*))'
2
$ echo '[{:foo 1} {:bar 2}]' | bb '(filter :foo *in*)'
({:foo 1})
$ echo '"babashka"' | bb '(re-find (re-pattern "b.b.*") *in*)'
"babashka"
```
2019-08-09 15:38:26 +00:00
Functions are written using the reader tag `#bb/fn`. Currently up to three
arguments are supported.
``` shellsession
$ echo '' | bb '(#bb/fn (+ %1 %2) 1 2)'
3
$ ls | bb --raw '*in*' | bb '(filterv #bb/fn (re-find (re-pattern "reflection") %) *in*)'
["reflection.json"]
```
