Hello, Deno!

main.ts

import { parse } from "https://deno.land/std/flags/mod.ts";

function greet(name?: string): void {
  if (!name) {
    console.log('Hello, World!');
  } else {
    console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
  }
}

const { name } = parse(Deno.args);

greet(name);

If you just want to use the latest version of the script, you can omit the commit hash (before the file name).

Usage

$ deno run https://gist.githubusercontent.com/thgaskell/20d209a5da49be7a01933ec86d7ae908/raw/main.ts --name Deno
Hello, Deno!

You can use the deno install command to save the file as an executable:

$ deno install hello-deno https://gist.githubusercontent.com/thgaskell/20d209a5da49be7a01933ec86d7ae908/raw/main.ts
