Shell commands

Since TypeStream is heavily inspired by the Unix philosophy, it's only natural that it supports many shell commands.

note

Note that feature parity with Unix shells is not a goal of TypeStream so do not expect commands to be exactly the same as their Unix counterparts.

Furthermore, TypeStream supports a few commands that are not available in Unix shells.

Synopsis​

http [verb] <url> [data]

Description​

The http command is used to make requests. It supports the following verbs:

  • GET, get - default if no verb is specified
  • POST, post - requires data to be specified

The data argument must be a string.

Note that the http command only supports JSON requests and responses. In fact, it will automatically set the Content-Type header to application/json and parse the response as JSON.
