Important Change/Update (May 2022)

Discord changed their client to prevent sending messages that are preceeded by a slash (/) To run code you can use "./run" or " /run" until further notice

I Run Code

Source code for the "I Run Code" Discord Bot used to run code snippets inside Discord chats.

You can add me to your server here

If you have questions check by our Discord Server

engineer-man/piston is the api that actually runs the code.

How to use

Basic Syntax

/run [language] (-> [output syntax] (optional))
[args (optional)]
```[syntax]
<your code>
```
[stdin (optional)]

• You have to provide either language or syntax
• You can provide command line arguments by specifying them before the codeblock
• Each line corresponds to one argument
• You can provide standard input by specifying it after the codeblock

Editing and deleting messages

• You can edit your last /run message if you make a mistake and the bot will edit it's initial response.
• You can delete the last output message (that was caused by you) with /delete or /del or by deleting your most recent /run message

Use a source file instead of a codeblock

/run [language] (-> [output syntax] (optional))
[args1]
[args2]

[stdin1]
[stdin2]

<attached_file>

• You can attach a file with source code instead of providing a codeblock (Maximum file size is 65535 bytes)
  • If you don't specify the language the bot will use the file extension
  • You can specify command line arguments and stdin in the command.
    • command line arguments should directly follow the /run line
    • stdin is everything that follows after the first double newline
• Please note that attachments can not be edited therefore you can not use the edit functionality if you provide a source file

Contributing

If you want to contribute you can just submit a pull request.

Code styling / IDE Settings

Please style your code according to these guidelines:

• maximum line length is 99 columns
• use 4 spaces for indentation
• files end with a newline
• lines should not have trailing whitespace

If you want to use an auto formatter please use autopep8

Example config for VSCode:

"[python]": {
    "editor.rulers": [
        99
    ],
    "editor.tabSize": 4,
},
"files.insertFinalNewline": true,
"files.trimTrailingWhitespace": true,
"editor.trimAutoWhitespace": true,
"python.formatting.provider": "autopep8",
"python.formatting.autopep8Args": ["--max-line-length", "99"],

What's new

2021-09-26

Added output syntax functionality.

• The /run command will now take an additional output syntax highlighting code on the first line after a -> For example

/run cs -> json

will highlight the resulting output in discord as json.

2020-11-29

Added delete functionality.

• The /delete or /del command will make the bot delete it's last output (that was caused by the caller)
• If you delete your most recent /run message the corresponding output will also be deleted.

2020-08-04

Made writing rust code "snippets" easier (Thanks https://github.com/UsairimIsani)

fn main() { }

will be automatically created if it is not present in the provided code.

2020-07-16

Made writing java code "snippets" easier (Thanks https://github.com/Minecraftian14)

When typing Java code the boilerplate code for public class will be added automatically.

/run java
```
import java.util.List;
List.of(args).forEach(System.out::println);
```

will be interpreted as

/run java
```
import java.util.List;
public class temp extends Object {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    List.of(args).forEach(System.out::println);
  }
}
```

2020-07-15

Added optional command line parameters You can use them by specifying them before the codeblock (1 per line)

Example:

/run <language>
parameter 1
parameter 2
```
<your code>
```

2021-02-05

Added optional standard input You can use standard input by specifying it after the codeblock

Example:

/run <language>
```
<your code>
```
standard input
