Generate a CLI

Note

This requires enabling the cli feature flag of the Roto crate.

The default Roto CLI introduced in Hello, world! is nice, but does not know anything about custom types and functions added to the runtime. To get a better CLI for your use case, you can generate a CLI from your runtime.

Rust

let rt = Runtime::new();

// add all your custom types, methods and constants here

rt.cli();

The CLI helps with testing and type checking your scripts without running your entire application. To start the CLI, just call the cli method on the Runtime. The commands of this CLI are identical to the ones described in Command line.
