Using Runnables

A runnable is a compiled JS function, a runnable can be created with a unique name and the function source.

let myRunnable = Core.runnable.create(
  "my-runnable",
  "function main() { console.log('hi') }",
);

Or it can compile a file to a runnable function.

let myRunnable = requireRunnable("modules/my_module/myRunnable.js");

And in modules/my_module/myRunnable.js

function main() {
  console.log("hi");
}

The file can contain one function only declared with the function name() { ... } syntax, and nothing else.

Creating a Runnable

A runnable can be called as a normal JS function

myRunnable.runF(); // 'hi'

It can also take arguments

let myRunnable = Core.runnable.create(
  "my-other-runnable",
  "function main(a, b) { console.log(`${a} and ${b}`) }",
);

myOtherRunnable.runF("argument 1", "argument 2");
