@jolt-us/repl

Jolt's REPL lets you connect to a remote node process.

npm install @jolt-us/repl
# OR
yarn add @jolt-us/repl

Start with creating a connection to you system

// index.js
const {Repl} = require("@jolt-us/repl");
const repl = new Repl({
   banner: "Connected to REPL on '"+process.env.NODE_ENV+"'",
   context: {users: require('./users-for-example')}
})
rpl.listen();

And create a client:

// repl.js
const {Repl} = require("@jolt-us/repl");
Repl.connect();

The setup is complete!🤖 Now let’s connect to the process using a secure shell connection!

ssh 1.2.3.4 -t -c "node /var/app/repl.js"
Connected to REPL on 'production'
> users.activateUser("user-id")

Fun ain’t it?🎉 We have also added a custom behaviour — if you command returns a promise, it will wait for the promise to resolve, and only then print it out. And if the returned value is a function it will print out the toString value of it, so you can see its content.
