Modules

heroscript

A defensive configuration and scripting language designed for safe, predictable system orchestration.

• Parse and execute HeroScript configuration files
• Type-safe parameter handling
• Wildcard action filtering
• Struct serialization with derive macros (ToHeroScript, FromHeroScript)
• Source tracking and write-back support
• Include system for modular scripts

use herolib_core::heroscript::{PlayBook, PlayBookNewArgs, FindArgs};

let script = "!!server.define name:web1 host:localhost port:8080";
let playbook = PlayBook::new(PlayBookNewArgs {
    text: script.to_string(),
    ..Default::default()
})?;

let action = playbook.get("server.define")?;
let name = action.params.get("name")?;
let port = action.params.get_u16("port")?;

text

Text processing and manipulation utilities.

• dedent / prefix - Text indentation handling
• name_fix / path_fix - String sanitization for filenames
• TextReplacer - Regex and literal text replacement with chaining
• TemplateBuilder - Tera-based template rendering

use herolib_core::text::{dedent, name_fix, TextReplacer};

let clean = dedent("    indented\n    text");
let safe = name_fix("Hello World!.txt");  // "hello_world_.txt"

let replacer = TextReplacer::builder()
    .pattern(r"\d+")
    .replacement("NUM")
    .regex(true)
    .build()?;
let result = replacer.replace("42 items");

net

Network connectivity utilities.

• TCP port checking
• HTTP endpoint validation
• SSH connectivity testing

use herolib_core::net;

let is_up = net::tcp_check("localhost", 8080);

Features

Enable features in Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
herolib-core = { version = "0.1", features = ["git"] }

Rhai Integration

All modules are available in Rhai scripts when using the herolib runtime.

// HeroScript
let pb = playbook_from_text("!!server.define name:web1 port:8080");
let server = pb.get("server.define");
print(server.get("name"));

// Text
let safe = name_fix("My File.txt");
let clean = dedent("    indented text");

// Replacer
let replacer = text_replacer_new()
    .pattern("old")
    .replacement("new")
    .build();
let result = replacer.replace("old text");
