Is there an API for programming Scala REPL programmatically?

Question

Based on the stream and Scala interpreter sources it seems that it would not be so difficult to get the equivalent

def runLine(line: String): String 

but has someone written this already?

Answer 1

There are many examples floating there, but they can be hard to find. Here is the one I wrote some time ago:

The tricky part is getting the interpreter to load javascript. I downloaded banks manually to make it work with web launch, but in your case it might just be settings.usejavacp.value = true .

You can see the interpreter in action here: http://www.simplex3d.org/console/
