Trigger Scripts directly from Raycast

[brianjohnpenner]

Since I use Raycast as my launcher on my computer I wanted a way to trigger Script Kit scripts directly from the Raycast menu without a second step. I made a script to generate Raycast shell scripts that will directly trigger the Script Kit scripts.

1. Make a directory to store the Raycast scripts.
2. Add this directory to the Raycast settings as a script directory.
3. Run this script and choose that directory when prompted.

Just posting this as inspiration. This script is a little rough around the edges and could use refinement and customization to suit your needs.

Open generate-raycast-scripts in Script Kit

// Name: Generate Raycast Scripts

import "@johnlindquist/kit"
const collect = await npm("collect.js")

// get the directory to store the scripts in. Save in an environment variable
const directory = await env("RAYCAST_SCRIPTS_DIRECTORY", async () => { return await selectFolder("Select a directory to store the scripts in") })
// get all the scripts from Script Kit
let scripts = collect(await getScripts())
// remove preview from scripts
scripts = scripts.map(script => {
    delete script.preview
    return script
})
// get only kenv scripts
scripts = scripts.where('kenv', '')
// TODO find out which scripts should be ignored
// generate a script for each one in the directory
scripts.each(async script => {
    const scriptContents = `#!/bin/bash

# Required parameters:
# @raycast.schemaVersion 1
# @raycast.title ${script.name}
# @raycast.mode silent
# @raycast.packageName Script Kit Scripts
# Documentation:
# @raycast.description ${script.description}


~/.kit/kar ${script.command}
`
    await writeFile(`${directory}/${script.name}.sh`, scriptContents, "utf-8")
})

Here's an updated version that gives a few more options. This lets you choose whether to create for all scripts, for a kenv, or just a specific script.

Open generate-raycast-scripts in Script Kit

// Name: Generate Raycast Scripts

import "@johnlindquist/kit"
const collect = await npm("collect.js")

// get the directory to store the scripts in. Save in an environment variable
const directory = await env("RAYCAST_SCRIPTS_DIRECTORY", async () => { return await selectFolder("Select a directory to store the scripts in") })
// get all the scripts from Script Kit
let scripts = collect(await getScripts())
// remove preview from scripts
scripts = scripts.map(script => {
    delete script.preview
    return script
})

const scope = await arg("Select a scope", ['all', 'kenv', 'script'])
switch (scope) {
    case 'kenv':
        let kenvs = scripts.pluck('kenv').unique()
        kenvs = kenvs.map(kenv => {
            return {
                name: kenv === '' ? 'default' : kenv,
                value: kenv
            }
        })
        const selectedKenv = await arg("Select a kenv", kenvs)
        scripts = scripts.where('kenv', selectedKenv)
        break;

    case 'script':
        const selectedScript = await arg("Select a script", await scripts.pluck('name').unique().values().all())
        scripts = scripts.where('name', selectedScript)
        break;
}



// generate a script for each one in the directory
scripts.each(async script => {
    const scriptContents = `#!/bin/bash

# Required parameters:
# @raycast.schemaVersion 1
# @raycast.title ${script.name}
# @raycast.mode silent
# @raycast.packageName Script Kit Scripts

~/.kit/kar ${script.filePath}
`
    await writeFile(`${directory}/${script.name}.sh`, scriptContents, "utf-8")
})
