greet: fn { name } { "Hello, " + name + "!" |print }
greet "Advance"

Installation

To install globally, run:

npm install -g @nikso/advance

Using the REPL

You can now start an interactive session with adv:

$ adv
⟩ a: 1 + 1
2
⟩ a + 40
42

Using it in the browser

You can also use Advance in the browser. To do so, you can use the advance.js file in the dist folder.

<html>
  <body>
    <script type="module">
      import { exec, createContext, adv } from './dist/advance.js';

      const result = await adv`a: 1 + 1 a + 40`;
      // or
      const result2 = exec('a: 1 + 1 a + 40', createContext());

      console.log(result, result2); // 42 42
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

npm install to install the dependencies
