# Rhai REPL CLI for Circle WebSocket Servers
This crate provides a command-line interface (CLI) to interact with Rhai scripts executed on remote Circle WebSocket servers. It includes both an interactive REPL and a non-interactive example.
## Prerequisites
1. **Circle Orchestrator Running**: Ensure the `circles_orchestrator` is running. This application manages and starts the individual Circle WebSocket servers.
To run the orchestrator:
```bash
cd /path/to/herocode/circles/cmd
cargo run
```
By default, this will start servers based on the `circles.json` configuration (e.g., "Alpha Circle" on `ws://127.0.0.1:8081/ws`).
2. **Redis Server**: Ensure a Redis server is running and accessible at `redis://127.0.0.1:6379` (this is the default used by the orchestrator and its components).
## Usage
Navigate to this crate's directory:
```bash
cd /path/to/herocode/circles/rhai_repl_cli
```
### 1. Interactive REPL
The main binary of this crate is an interactive REPL.
**To run with default WebSocket URL (`ws://127.0.0.1:8081/ws`):**
```bash
cargo run
```
**To specify a WebSocket URL:**
```bash
cargo run ws://<your-circle-server-ip>:<port>/ws
# Example for "Beta Circle" if configured on port 8082:
# cargo run ws://127.0.0.1:8082/ws
```
Once connected, you can:
- Type single-line Rhai scripts directly and press Enter.
- Use Vi keybindings for editing the current input line (thanks to `rustyline`).
- Type `.edit` to open your `$EDITOR` (or `vi` by default) for multi-line script input. Save and close the editor to execute the script.
- Type `.run <filepath>` (or `run <filepath>`) to execute a Rhai script from a local file.
- Type `exit` or `quit` to close the REPL.
Command history is saved to `.rhai_repl_history.txt` in the directory where you run the REPL.
### 2. Non-Interactive Example (`connect_and_play`)
This example connects to a WebSocket server, sends a predefined Rhai script, prints the response, and then disconnects.
**To run with default WebSocket URL (`ws://127.0.0.1:8081/ws`):**
```bash
cargo run --example connect_and_play
```
**To specify a WebSocket URL for the example:**
```bash
cargo run --example connect_and_play ws://<your-circle-server-ip>:<port>/ws
# Example:
# cargo run --example connect_and_play ws://127.0.0.1:8082/ws
```
The example script is:
```rhai
let a = 10;
let b = 32;
let message = "Hello from example script!";
message + " Result: " + (a + b)
```
## Logging
Both the REPL and the example use the `tracing` crate for logging. You can control log levels using the `RUST_LOG` environment variable. For example, to see debug logs from the `circle_client_ws` library:
```bash
RUST_LOG=info,circle_client_ws=debug cargo run --example connect_and_play
