fjs is the FunctionalScript command-line tool. It is invoked directly via Node:

node ./fjs/module.mjs <command> [args]

or via npx without a global install:

npx functionalscript <command> [args]

npx resolves the package name, not the bin name: fjs is an unrelated package on npm, so npx fjs … would run somebody else's code.

or, once the package is installed globally:

fjs <command> [args]

Each command also accepts a short alias (fjs t for fjs test, and so on). fjs help prints them; this documentation uses the full names throughout.

fjs compile <input> <output>

The output extension picks the format: .json emits a tree (shared values are expanded), anything else emits a JavaScript module that preserves sharing by naming reused values as consts. Imports are resolved and inlined in both cases. See djs/README.md for the accepted subset.

fjs ci

fjs ci runs the built-in CI generator from fjs/ci/module.f.mjs, writing .github/workflows/ci.yml. It is the standard entry point for projects that want FunctionalScript's default workflow. Projects with custom CI setup code should keep using fjs run <custom-ci-module>, so their module can call ci(setup) with its own extra runtime steps.

fjs run <module> [args...]

fjs run dynamically imports <module> and calls its main export as a NodeProgram:

(v.main as NodeProgram)({ ...options, args })

A module intended to be run with fjs run must export a named main constant of type NodeProgram:

import type { NodeProgram } from '../effects/node/types.ts'

export const main: NodeProgram = options => {
    // options.args — command-line arguments passed after the module path
    ...
}

This mirrors:

• export const proof — the convention for proof/test modules.
• main entry-point naming from C, C++, and Rust.
• fjs/module.f.mjs itself, which uses export const main.

Any arguments after <module> are forwarded to main via options.args:

fjs run ./my-tool.f.mjs foo bar   # options.args === ['foo', 'bar']

fjs/module.mjs         — Node.js entry point (runs main via the node runner)
fjs/module.f.mjs       — FunctionalScript command dispatcher (Commands list + dispatch)
fjs/cli/module.f.mjs   — generic dispatch primitive (Command/Commands types in fjs/cli/types.ts)
