exec

Runs each input as a command in a sub-shell. It expects a string, and will record an error if it receives anything else. It will also record an error if the command has a non-zero exit.

Since the commands run in the shell, they can make use of features like quoting, expansions and pipes. Additionally the CLI will load the local .env, which means these commands can reference those environment variables.

The stdout of each command's sub-shell is recorded as an interactive output, i.e. it includes the ID of the input that triggered it.

#Parameters

How to format the input prior to running as a command. See the format reference.

#Examples

cURL

Sends inputs to an API using curl.

type: exec
format:
  type: template
  template: curl -sS -X {{data.method}} ${API_BASE_URL:-http://localhost:5173}{{data.path}}

This uses a template format that expects the effect data to include method and path fields. The API_URL can be picked up either from the environment, or a local .env.
