Executing Commands¶
Let’s imagine you have Namespaces laid out in the following parent-child relationship:
.
└── parent
└── child
└── grandchild
Invoking a command when in the console¶
Given command ‘foo’ available to namespace parent:child:grandchild, how would you invoke it?
> bcome child:grandchild
> foo
Note
When you an enter an IRB session, you are in the scope of an instance of a Ruby object (see: @node).
Bcome’s Console assigns an instance of your namespace as this session object.
Invoking commands with Keyed-access¶
To invoke command ‘foo’ available to namespace parent:child:grandchild, you would enter the following command in your terminal:
> bcome child:grandchild:foo
Invoking commands from orchestration scripts¶
If you have a namespace instance, for example @node, then any available command may be invoked directly on it.
For example, given a namespace in an instance var @node, and a command, :foo, you would:
@node.foo
Hint
Any command, be they in-built menu commands (see Command Menu), public-methods on a given namespace object, or a custom-command you’ve defined yourself in the Registry (see Registry Overview), is accessible in this way.
