🔧 Usage Examples

Building an Invoker Script

import sierra

# ─── Define the Invoker ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
invoker = sierra.InvokerScript(
    name="greet",
    description="Prints a personalized greeting message."
)

# ─── Dependency functions ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
@invoker.dependancy
def random_function_one(param: int) -> int:
    return param * 2

@invoker.dependancy
def random_function_two(message: str) -> str:
    return message.upper()

@invoker.dependancy
def random_function_three(value: float) -> float:
    return value / 3.14

@invoker.dependancy
def random_function_four(flag: bool) -> bool:
    return not flag

# ─── Entry point ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
@invoker.entry_point
def run(
    name: sierra.Param[
        str | None,
        sierra.SierraOption(
            description="The name of the person to greet.",
            mandatory="MANDATORY"
        )
    ],
    polite: sierra.Param[
        bool | None,
        sierra.SierraOption(
            description="Whether to include a polite phrase in the greeting.",
            mandatory=None
        )
    ] = False,
) -> None:
    """
    Greet the specified user by name, optionally politely.

    Parameters
    ----------
    name : str
        Name of the user (mandatory).
    polite : bool, optional
        If True, includes a polite prefix.
    """
    if name is None:
        # Missing mandatory parameter
        result = sierra.create_error_result("Missing mandatory parameter: name")
    else:
        # Build greeting
        greeting = f"Hello, {name}!"
        if polite:
            greeting = f"Good day to you, {name}!"
        # Wrap the greeting in a TreeResult
        result = sierra.create_tree_result([greeting])

    # Print the structured result
    print(result)

# ─── Loader ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
def load(client: sierra.SierraDevelopmentClient) -> None:
    """
    Register this invoker with the given Sierra client.

    Parameters
    ----------
    client : SierraDevelopmentClient
        The Sierra client instance.
    """
    client.load_invoker(invoker)

Compiling

import sierra

# Initialize Sierra client with DEBUG‑level logging
client = sierra.SierraDevelopmentClient(
    environment_name="idd",
    logger=sierra.UniversalLogger(
        name="Sierra",
        level=sierra.sierra_internal_logger.LogLevel.DEBUG,
    ),
)

# Discover and register all invoker scripts
client.load_invokers_from_scripts()

# Generate standalone scripts and config.yaml
client.compiler.compile()
