Arguments

The previous “Hello, World!” example used a function that took no arguments. Here’s how to pass arguments to your functions using Hyperscript with the Convergence backend. Here, we’ll modify the hello_world function to accept a name as an argument and return a personalized greeting.

from hyperscript import Hyperscript
from hyperscript.convergence import Convergence
import os

# Define the function we want run in the cloud
def hello_world(name):
     return f"Hello, {name}!"

async def main():
    # Set up Convergence as our backend
        convergence = Convergence(api_key=os.getenv("CONVERGENCE_API_KEY"))

    # Initialize Hyperscript with Convergence's storage and event systems
    async with Hyperscript(
        storage=convergence.storage, events=convergence.events
    ) as hs:
        # Run the hello_world function in the cloud
        task = await hs.run(fn=hello_world, args=["Cammy"], executor=convergence.executor)

        # Retrieve and print the result
        async for result in task.results():
            print(f"Got result: {result}") # Should print "Got result: Hello, Cammy!"


# Hyperscript leverages asyncio, so we need to run our main function in an event loop
if __name__ == "__main__":
    import asyncio

    asyncio.run(main())
