🚀 Usage

Run a Script

Run any script supported by JSRUN:

jsrun myscript.jsr

Supported extensions: .jsr, .js, .mjs, .ts.

Import Modules with Versions

import express from "express@4.17.1";
import chalk from "chalk@4.1.2";

console.log(chalk.green("Starting server..."));
const app = express();
app.get("/", (req, res) => res.send("Hello World!"));
app.listen(3000, () => console.log(chalk.blue("Server running on port 3000")));

Run the script:

jsrun server.jsr

Pass Arguments to Your Script

jsrun myscript.jsr --port=4000 --env=production

Inside your script:

const args = process.argv.slice(2);
const port =
    args.find((arg) => arg.startsWith("--port="))?.split("=")[1] || 3000;
const env =
    args.find((arg) => arg.startsWith("--env="))?.split("=")[1] || "development";

console.log(`Running on port ${port} in ${env} mode.`);
