+# REPL
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) is a simple, interactive computer programming
|
|
|
+environment that takes single user inputs (i.e. single expressions), evaluates
|
|
|
+them, and returns the result to the user.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The `repl` module provides a REPL implementation that can be accessed using:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Assuming you have `electron` or `electron-prebuilt` installed as a local
|
|
|
+ project dependency:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ```sh
|
|
|
+ ./node_modules/.bin/electron --interactive
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+* Assuming you have `electron` or `electron-prebuilt` installed globally:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ ```sh
|
|
|
+ electron --interactive
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This only creates a REPL for the main process. You can use the Console
|
|
|
+tab of the Dev Tools to get a REPL for the renderer processes.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Note:** `electron --interactive` is not available on Windows.
|

+More information can be found in the [Node.js REPL docs](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/api/repl.html).
