REST service for compiling AutoHotkey scripts .ahk to .exe

For the UI, see the zvecr/vue-ahk project.

Dependencies

nodejs (and npm)
wine
xvfb
Ahk2Exe (Installed to the wine path)

Examples

The following examples assume either node is running the project or the rest-ahk docker container is running locally.

Note: While this example uses Unix-like paths, the following will produce a Windows executable.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: text/plain" --output /tmp/test.exe --data '
^j::                    
Send, My First Script
return                  
' localhost:8080/compile

GET /status Example

To status endpoint can be used to view the current service status, including various compile stats.
