Luke Boswell (Jan 28 2024 at 01:48): Luke Boswell (Jan 28 2024 at 01:48):Would it be a good idea to be able to run a script or app using just a URL? For example, say I publish an example app that uses a URL package, could I then share a gist and the URL for users to just run it locally without having to copy the contents into a new .roc file.
So for example I have this gist with the roc-ansi TUI menu example. I could share the URL and others could run locally just by typing the following...
roc https://gist.githubusercontent.com/lukewilliamboswell/0b6cdf0feba9549fd505b08d377fc926/raw/f6d54b7347ad31bdd39f15650dbd55ba6593de24/tui-menu.roc
the idea here is that roc would download the file to the .cache and then run that.
Maybe it hashes the URL and uses the hash as the filename or something. :shrug:
Luke Boswell (Jan 28 2024 at 01:51):Or maybe it just downloads each time, because I guess a URL can and should change
Anton (Jan 28 2024 at 11:02):I think we should encourage people to read/check code before executing it
Kiryl Dziamura (Jan 28 2024 at 22:24):Roc cli then can ask for a confirmation. With information about the platform used for the app
