Execute from script

Executing a recipe from a script.

A recipe can also be executed from a script. For example, to execute the eli5 recipe for an elephant from a script, create the script sample.sh on Linux or macOS:

#!/bin/bash

npx ai-writer eli5 --topic elephant --output eli5/elephant

And execute this script with the following command:

sh ./sample.sh

Or sample.bat on Windows, with the following content:

npx ai-writer eli5 --topic elephant --output eli5/elephant

And execute this script with the following command:

sample.bat

Also PowerShell is a powerful scripting language for the execution of recipes, especially because PowerShell scripts can run on Windows, Linux, and macOS. For example, to execute the eli5 recipe for a collection of topics, create the script eli5-multiple.ps1:

#!/usr/bin/env pwsh

$topics = "elephant", "giraffe", "lion", "tiger", "zebra"
for ($i=0; $i -lt $topics.length; $i++) {
    $topic = $topics[$i]
    npx ai-writer eli5 --topic $topic --output "eli5/$topic" --dry-run
}

To execute on Linux or macOS, either execute the following command:

pwsh ./eli5-multiple.ps1

Or make the script executable with the following command:

chmod +x ./eli5-multiple.ps1

And execute the script with the following command:

./eli5-multiple.ps1
