Konversation has its own command line interface, which you can use for generating the kson files for the runtime. You can use it for validate the syntax of the input files or to integrate it into your own build system. Keep in mind you can also use the gradle plugin for integrating the conversation of your ksv files in your gradle build.
Konversation has some implementations you can use for setting up the command line tool:
When you have installed Homebrew just enter in your shell:
brew install rekire/packages/konversation
When you have installed Chocolatey just enter in your shell:
choco install konversation
Download the latest cli jar from the release page and store it somewhere you like. On Windows you need
to create a file called konversation.cmd somewhere in any directory you have in your path variable, the content should be:
java -jar path/to/your/konveration.jar %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
If you use Linux or Mac create a file called konversation in /usr/local/bin with this content:
#!/bin/sh
java -jar path/to/your/konveration.jar $@
Remember that you need to make it executable with chmod +x konversation.
Now in your shell/command line/terminal you can use the konversation command e.g.: konversation -v. This should
output your installed konversation cli version number and exit then.
You can process a single file or a directory to convert a batch of files. Currently are two formats supported: .ksv files and .grammar
files. Check also the specification of the supported file formats.
konversation <path/to/process> --export-kson outdir
Now are your kson files in the outdir and you can copy them into that directory that it can be read by using require('intent.kson') or
via a AJAX request without specifiying an directory.
