Putting together everything seen before, write a script capable of printing what is defined by the user through the command line, so when the user initializes the main() function of the script through the command line using the run command, this string should appear on the screen.
Create a script /tmp/test.lua and write the following content:
METADATA = {
AUTHOR = {"Author1 <author1@mail.com>",
"Author2 <author2@mail.com>",
"Author3 <author3@mail.com>"
},
VERSION = "0.1",
TAGS = {"example","test"},
INFO = [[Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit,
sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris
nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.]]
}
VARS = {
DATA = {VALUE="my data", NEEDED="yes", DESCRIPT="Any"},
}
function Init()
Meta(METADATA)
LoadVars(VARS)
end
function Main()
PrintSuccs(VARS.DATA.VALUE)
end
It is necessary to import the script into a directory where venera has access. Use the import command as shown below:
[*]>> import /tmp/test.lua test.lua
The script was written in location scripts/myscripts/test.lua. Load the imported script with use command:
[*]>> use scripts/myscripts/test.lua
(scripts/myscripts/test.lua)>>
The moment the script has been loaded, the Init() function is executed, loading the essential tables (METADATA and VARS) and any code that exists there.
Type info to show information about the script:
(scripts/myscripts/test.lua)>> info
## AUTHOR/S ##
1) Author1 <author1@mail.com>
2) Author2 <author2@mail.com>
3) Author3 <author3@mail.com>
## TAGS ##
1) example
2) test
## INFO ##
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit,

Type options to see what the user can configure:
(scripts/myscripts/test.lua)>> options
VARIABLE DEFAULT REQUIRED DESCRIPTION
-------- ------- -------- -----------
DATA my data yes Any
Set any value to the DATA variable with the command set:
(scripts/myscripts/test.lua)>> set DATA Hello World\n
[OK] DATA <- Hello World\n
And finally execute the script:
(scripts/myscripts/test.lua)>> run
[OK]- Hello World
