Here, you can browse the range of ways that Raycast lets you view your data, whether you need to display a range of items such as open pull requests, or whether you just need confirmation that your script has run successfully.
In fullOutput the entire output is presented on a separate view, similar to a terminal window. This is handy when your script generates output to consume.
In compact mode the last line of the standard output is shown in the toast
In silent mode the last line (if exists) will be shown in overlaying HUD toast after Raycast window is closed.
In inline mode, the first line of output will be directly shown in the command item and automatically refresh according to the specified refreshTime. Tip: Set your dashboard items as favorites via the action menu in Raycast.
NOTE: refreshTime parameter is required for inline mode. When not specified, compact mode will be used instead.
🚨 Hint: use cmd k to access extra functionality such as adding to favorites or reordering the root search preferences.
Please note that long-running tasks generating a lot of partial data are not supported for compact, silent, and inline modes. For example, the zip command generates a lot of partial logs when compressing folders with many files. Scripts using zip won't work on compact, silent, and inline; but they will work in fullOutput. To make it work in the other modes you need to use the zip -q flag.
We support colors for inline and fullOutput mode scripts for you to customize generated output by changing its background and foreground color.
