package repl

import "github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/repl"

Package repl implements a Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) for interacting with the policy engine.

The REPL is typically used from the command line, however, it can also be used as a library.

Types ¶

type Error ¶

type Error struct {
	Code    string
	Message string
}

Error is the error type returned by the REPL.

func (*Error) Error ¶

func (err *Error) Error() string

type REPL ¶

type REPL struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

REPL represents an instance of the interactive shell.

func New ¶

func New(store storage.Store, historyPath string, output io.Writer, outputFormat string, errLimit int, banner string) *REPL

New returns a new instance of the REPL.

func (*REPL) DisableMultiLineBuffering ¶

func (r *REPL) DisableMultiLineBuffering(yes bool) *REPL

DisableMultiLineBuffering causes the REPL to not buffer lines when a parse error occurs. Instead, the error will be returned to the caller.

func (*REPL) DisableUndefinedOutput ¶

func (r *REPL) DisableUndefinedOutput(yes bool) *REPL

DisableUndefinedOutput causes the REPL to not print any output when the query is undefined.

func (*REPL) Loop ¶

func (r *REPL) Loop(ctx context.Context)

Loop will run until the user enters "exit", Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D, or an unexpected error occurs.

func (*REPL) OneShot ¶

func (r *REPL) OneShot(ctx context.Context, line string) error

OneShot evaluates the line and prints the result. If an error occurs it is returned for the caller to display.

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/repl"
	"github.com/open-policy-agent/opa/storage/inmem"
)

func main() {
	// Initialize context for the example. Normally the caller would obtain the
	// context from an input parameter or instantiate their own.
	ctx := context.Background()

	// Instantiate the policy engine's storage layer.
	store := inmem.New()

	// Create a buffer that will receive REPL output.
	var buf bytes.Buffer

	// Create a new REPL.
	repl := repl.New(store, "", &buf, "json", 0, "")

	// Define a rule inside the REPL.
	repl.OneShot(ctx, "p { a = [1, 2, 3, 4]; a[_] > 3 }")

	// Query the rule defined above.
	repl.OneShot(ctx, "p")

	// Inspect the output. Defining rules does not produce output so we only expect
	// output from the second line of input.
	fmt.Println(buf.String())

}

true
