Apous is a simple tool that allows for easier authoring of Swift scripts.
Primary features:
- Allow the breaking up of scripts into multiple files.
- Dependency management through Carthage or CocoaPods.
Apous works by first checking for a Cartfile
or Podfile
in your script's directory. If one is
present, then carthage update
or pod install --no-integrate
will be run.
Next, all of your Swift files are compiled into a single .apousscript
binary that will then be
run automatically for you.
It's really that simple.
First, you need to install the latest build of Apous.
- Download the latest version of
apous
from "Releases". - Copy it to a location in your path, such as
/usr/local/bin/
.
-
Create a new directory for your scripts, say
mkdir demo
-
Change to that directory:
cd demo
-
Create a new script file:
touch demo.swift
-
Change the contents of the file to:
import Foundation print("Welcome to Apous!")
-
Run the script:
apous .
This will output:
Welcome to Apous!
You can see some other samples here: Samples.
Apous also supports running scripts with #!
. Note that your entry point script must be named main.swift
.
#!/usr/local/bin/apous
import Foundation
print("Welcome to Apous!")
Then run:
> chmod +x main.swift
> ./main.swift
Welcome to Apous!
Q: What is Apous mean?
A: It's from the ancient Greek απους, meaning "without feet".
