FR: Documentation for Invoking Programmatically #122

Seems to work well with a call to org.jetbrains.kotlinx.ki.shell.KotlinShell.main(args)

aryeh-looker commented 1 year ago

In particular, one can do the following:

add ki as a maven dependency in their project (e.g. which uses gradle, maven, ant, bazel leiningen, etc.); https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.jetbrains.kotlinx/ki-shell; e.g. the following if using gradle:

implementation group: 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx', name: 'ki-shell', version: '0.5.2'

create a main class with something like the following:

import org.jetbrains.kotlinx.ki.shell. KotlinShell

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
  KotlinShell.main(*args)
}

invoke your main class with the classpath set in whichever way is suggested by your build tool (ensuring that the 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx.ki-shell is on the path as well)
