FR: Command Line Interface (CLI)

See original GitHub issue

I like to use the slicer on the command line (without the browser), something like

% KiriMotoSlicer cube.stl -o cube.gcode

I have a model -> slice -> gcode pipeline supporting multiple slicers (slic3r, prusa-slicer, cura, etc) and I like to use KiriMoto as well as alternative.

Is anyone working on it currently or has it been done (and I didn’t find it)?

What would be the best way:

create pure NodeJS version from browser JS code (I tried, but I ran quickly into browser-JS vs Node-JS module incompatibilities)
extend app-server to slice and execute with STL file as single argument (+ config), slice and exit again
create a small wrapper sending STL to (locally running) app-server (which slices too) and get .gcode back and save it as a file - thereby create server API and scalable slicing framework

There is a way to run the slicer from the command line using node and without requiring the app server. It requires wrapping some of the dependent libs to fake a browser environment. I will check in an example soon.
