Hyper Scripts

Hyper Scripts is a sidebar plugin for Hyper that lists commonly used commands. Clicking a command inputs it to the terminal. Use cases include commands that are frequently used, confused or executed during a demo.

• Displays an organized, sequential list of shell commands
• Focus on your demo - not your typing skills
• Sidebar automatically mutes to fade into background

Install

To install, edit ~/.hyper.js and add hyper-scripts and hyper-active-session to the plugins list.

plugins: [
  "hyper-active-session",
  "hyper-scripts",
],

Configuration

To configure the plugin, add the following to your config property in ~/.hyper.js.

hyperscripts: {
  activeColor: 'cyan',
  inactiveColor: 'white',
  runOnClick: true,
  scripts: [
    {
      title: "Demo",
      commands: [
        "echo Hello World",
        "# hello me",
        "echo Hello $LOGNAME",
        "# what's today",
        "export DATE=$(date | awk '{ print $3}') && export MONTH=$(date | awk '{ print $2}')",
        "echo Today is the $DATE of $MONTH"
       ]
    },
    ...
  ]
}

The following properties control the interface and all scripts:

• activeColor - A command that has not yet run (i.e. been clicked), defaults to foregroundColor
• inactiveColor - A command that has been run, defaults to foregroundColor
• runOnClick - Execute a command upon click, defaults to false

Each object in scripts has the following properties:

• title - Text displayed in select element to switch between scripts
• commands - List of commands; commands prefix with # are used to group similar commands and do not execute
