# JSONScript

**Version:** 0.1 Beta

JSONScript is a simple format for defining a sequence of steps to be executed by an application. Each step can include commands to be executed in the terminal, creation of files, and optional comments for documentation.

## Structure

The JSONScript format is an array of objects. Each object represents a step in the process and can have the following fields:

- `cmd`: A command to be executed in the terminal.
- `file`: An object with two properties:
- `name`: The name of the file to be created, including a path if necessary (defaults to the same directory).
- `data`: The content to be written into the file.
- `comment`: A description or explanation of the step.

The steps are executed in the order they appear in the array, from top to bottom.

## Example

Here is an example JSONScript file:

```json
[
{
"comment": "Step 1: Install the required npm package 'axios' for downloading files.",
"cmd": "npm install axios"
},
{
"comment": "Step 2: Create a JavaScript file that will contain the code to download the file.",
"file": {
"name": "downloadFile.js",
"data": "// This script downloads a file from a given URL\nconst axios = require('axios');\nconst fs = require('fs');\nconst url = 'https://example.com/file.txt';\nconst path = 'downloaded_file.txt';\naxios({\n method: 'get',\n url: url,\n responseType: 'stream'\n}).then(function (response) {\n response.data.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(path));\n console.log('File downloaded successfully.');\n}).catch(function (error) {\n console.log('Error downloading the file:', error);\n});"
}
},
{
"comment": "Step 3: Execute the JavaScript file to download the file from the given URL.",
"cmd": "node downloadFile.js"
},
{
"comment": "Step 4: Create a README file with instructions.",
"file": {
"name": "README.md",
"data": "# Node.js File Downloader\nThis application downloads a file from a specified URL using Node.js.\n\n## Setup\n1. Install the required npm package:\n```\nnpm install axios\n```\n2. Run the script to download the file:\n```\nnode downloadFile.js\n```"
}
}
]
```
## Using JSONScript

1. Create a JSON file (e.g., steps.json) containing your JSONScript configuration.
2. Create a Node.js script (e.g., processSteps.js) to process the JSONScript file.

# Sample Node.js Script
```
const fs = require('fs');
const { exec } = require('child_process');

const steps = require('./steps.json'); // Assuming the JSON is saved as steps.json

steps.forEach((step, index) => {
if (step.comment) {
console.log(`Step ${index + 1}: ${step.comment}`);
}
if (step.cmd) {
exec(step.cmd, (error, stdout, stderr) => {
if (error) {
console.error(`Error executing command: ${error.message}`);
return;
}
if (stderr) {
console.error(`Error output: ${stderr}`);
return;
}
console.log(`Output: ${stdout}`);
});
}
if (step.file) {
fs.writeFile(step.file.name, step.file.data, (err) => {
if (err) {
console.error(`Error creating file ${step.file.name}: ${err.message}`);
return;
}
console.log(`File ${step.file.name} created successfully.`);
});
}
});
```

3. Run the script using Node.js:
```
node processSteps.js
```

This will execute the steps defined in your JSONScript file.
