Here's a gallery of useful examples. Do you have a useful example? PR welcome!

Delete a list of files returned by a Unix command

find . | grep conflict | bb -i '(doseq [f *input*] (.delete (io/file f)))'

Calculate aggregate size of directory

#!/usr/bin/env bb

(as-> (io/file (or (first *command-line-args*) ".")) $
  (file-seq $)
  (map #(.length %) $)
  (reduce + $)
  (/ $ (* 1024 1024))
  (println (str (int $) "M")))

$ dir-size
130M

$ dir-size ~/Dropbox/bin
233M

Shuffle the lines of a file

$ cat /tmp/test.txt
1 Hello
2 Clojure
3 Babashka
4 Goodbye

$ < /tmp/test.txt bb -io '(shuffle *input*)'
3 Babashka
2 Clojure
4 Goodbye
1 Hello

Fetch latest Github release tag

(require '[clojure.java.shell :refer [sh]]
         '[cheshire.core :as json])

(defn babashka-latest-version []
  (-> (sh "curl" "https://api.github.com/repos/babashka/babashka/tags")
      :out
      (json/parse-string true)
      first
      :name))

(babashka-latest-version) ;;=> "v0.0.73"

Generate deps.edn entry for a gitlib

#!/usr/bin/env bb

(require '[clojure.java.shell :refer [sh]]
         '[clojure.string :as str])

(let [[username project branch] *command-line-args*
      branch (or branch "master")
      url (str "https://github.com/" username "/" project)
      sha (-> (sh "git" "ls-remote" url branch)
              :out
              (str/split #"\s")
              first)]

$ gitlib.clj nate fs

Portable tree command

See examples/tree.clj.

$ clojure -Sdeps '{:deps {org.clojure/tools.cli {:mvn/version "0.4.2"}}}' examples/tree.clj src
src

    ├── impl
    │   ├── tools

List outdated maven dependencies

See examples/outdated.clj. Inspired by an idea from @seancorfield.

$ cat /tmp/deps.edn
{:deps {cheshire {:mvn/version "5.8.1"}
        clj-http {:mvn/version "3.4.0"}}}

$ examples/outdated.clj /tmp/deps.edn
clj-http/clj-http can be upgraded from 3.4.0 to 3.10.0
cheshire/cheshire can be upgraded from 5.8.1 to 5.9.0

Convert project.clj to deps.edn

Contributed by @plexus.

$ cat project.clj |
sed -e 's/#=//g' -e 's/~@//g' -e 's/~//g' |
bb '(let [{:keys [dependencies source-paths resource-paths]} (apply hash-map (drop 3 *input*))]
  {:paths (into source-paths resource-paths)
   :deps (into {} (for [[d v] dependencies] [d {:mvn/version v}]))}) ' |
jet --pretty > deps.edn

A script with the same goal can be found here.

Print current time in California

See examples/pst.clj

Tiny http server

This implements an http server from scratch. Note that babashka comes with org.httpkit.server now, so you don't need to build an http server from scratch anymore.

See examples/http_server_from_scratch.clj

Original by @souenzzo

Print random docstring

See examples/random_doc.clj

$ examples/random_doc.clj
-------------------------
clojure.core/ffirst
([x])
  Same as (first (first x))

Cryptographic hash

sha1.clj:

#!/usr/bin/env bb

(defn sha1
  [s]
  (let [hashed (.digest (java.security.MessageDigest/getInstance "SHA-1")
                        (.getBytes s))
        sw (java.io.StringWriter.)]
    (binding [*out* sw]
      (doseq [byte hashed]
        (print (format "%02X" byte))))
    (str sw)))

(sha1 (first *command-line-args*))

$ sha1.clj babashka
"0AB318BE3A646EEB1E592781CBFE4AE59701EDDF"

Package script as Docker image

Dockerfile:

FROM babashka/babashka
RUN echo $'\
(println "Your command line args:" *command-line-args*)\
'\
>> script.clj

ENTRYPOINT ["bb", "script.clj"]

$ docker build . -t script
...
$ docker run --rm script 1 2 3
Your command line args: (1 2 3)

Extract single file from zip

;; Given the following:

;; $ echo 'contents' > file
;; $ zip zipfile.zip file
;; $ rm file

;; we extract the single file from the zip archive using java.nio:

(import '[java.nio.file Files FileSystems CopyOption])
(let [zip-file (io/file "zipfile.zip")
      file (io/file "file")
      fs (FileSystems/newFileSystem (.toPath zip-file) nil)
      file-in-zip (.getPath fs "file" (into-array String []))]
  (Files/copy file-in-zip (.toPath file)
              (into-array CopyOption [])))

Note taking app

See examples/notes.clj. This is a variation on the http-server example. If you get prompted with a login, use admin/admin.

which

The which command re-implemented in Clojure. See examples/which.clj. Prints the canonical file name.

$ examples/which.clj rg
/usr/local/Cellar/ripgrep/11.0.1/bin/rg

pom.xml version

A script to retrieve the version from a pom.xml file. See pom_version_get.clj. Written by @wilkerlucio.

See pom_version_get_xml_zip.clj for how to do the same using zippers.

Also see pom_version_set.clj to set the pom version.

Whatsapp frequencies

Show frequencies of messages by user in Whatsapp group chats. See examples/whatsapp_frequencies.clj

Find unused vars

This script invokes clj-kondo, stores returned data in an in memory HSQLDB database and prints the result of a query which finds unused vars. It uses pod-babashka-hsqldb.

$ bb examples/hsqldb_unused_vars.clj src

digitalocean-ping.clj

The script allows to define which DigitalOcean cloud datacenter (region) has best network performance (ping latency).

See digitalocean-ping.clj

Example usage:

$ bb digitalocean-ping.clj

download-aliases.clj

Download deps for all aliases in a deps.edn project.

Is TTY?

An equivalent of Python's os.isatty() in Babashka, to check if the stdin/stdout/stderr is connected to a TTY or not (useful to check if the script output is being redirect to /dev/null, for example).

Only works in Unix systems.

$ bb is-tty.clj
STDIN is TTY?: true
STDOUT is TTY?: true
STDERR is TTY?: true

$ bb is-tty.clj </dev/null
STDIN is TTY?: false
STDOUT is TTY?: true
STDERR is TTY?: true

$ bb is-tty.clj 1>&2 >/dev/null
STDIN is TTY?: true
STDOUT is TTY?: false
STDERR is TTY?: true

$ bb is-tty.clj 2>/dev/null
STDIN is TTY?: true
STDOUT is TTY?: true
STDERR is TTY?: false
