repl

Usage: chr repl [OPTIONS]

REPL is used to create a language shell for Rell that takes single user
inputs, executes them, and returns the result. Inside the repl you can create
local variables and execute Rell commands, it can be attached to a Rell
module to be able to inspect a dapp state and execute dapp functionalities.

Run query commands: To be able to run queries in the shell, a user must have
a module defined from the start of the repl command in which the query is
defined. Queries that do not depend on entities can be executed without a
database connection, and queries that depend on an entity must then have a
database connection defined.

Run Operations commands: When a operation is executed from the repl shell,
the database connection and a module needs to be defined from the start of
the repl command, to be able to execute an operation it needs added to a
transaction. This can be done by wrapping it with a test transaction like
this: rell.test.tx(<your operation>..).run()
