Ammonite API

The Ammonite API consists in instances of several classes, that are created by Ammonite or almond, and allow you to interact with the REPL. These instances are accessible either by their name, from the REPL, like interp, or via implicits, like implicitly[ammonite.interp.InterpAPI].

The following instances are available:

• interp, which is a ammonite.interp.InterpAPI,
• repl, which is a ammonite.repl.ReplAPI.

InterpAPI

InterpAPI allows to

• load new dependencies or compiler plugins,
• add repositories for dependencies,
• add exit hooks,
• configure compiler options.

ReplAPI allows to

• access the latest thrown exception,
• access the command history,
• request the compiler instance to be re-created,
• get the current compiler instance,
• get the current imports,
• evaluate code from strings or files, and lastly
• get the class names and byte code of the code entered during the current session.
