This section describes how to set up a Spring Shell to work in interactive mode.
[[using-shell-execution-interactionmode]]
== Interaction Mode
Version 2.1.x introduced built-in support to distinguish between interactive
and non-interactive modes. This makes it easier to use the shell as a
simple command-line tool without requiring customization.
Currently, interactive mode is entered if any command line options are passed when starting
or running a shell from a command line. This works especially well when a shell application
is compiled with xref:building.adoc#native[Native Support].
Some commands may not have any useful meanings when they run in interactive mode
or (conversely) in non-interactive mode. For example, a built-in `exit` command would
have no meaning in non-interactive mode, because it is used to exit interactive mode.
The `@ShellMethod` annotation has a field called `interactionMode` that you can use to inform
shell about when a particular command is available.
[[using-shell-execution-shellrunner]]
== Shell Runners
`ShellApplicationRunner` is a main interface where Boot's `ApplicationArguments` are passed
and its default implementation makes a choice which `ShellRunner` is used. There can be
only one `ShellApplicationRunner` but it can be redefined if needed for some reason.
Three `ShellRunner` implementation exists, named `InteractiveShellRunner`,
`NonInteractiveShellRunner` and `ScriptShellRunner`. These are enabled on default but
can be disable if needed using properties `spring.shell.interactive.enabled`,
`spring.shell.noninteractive.enabled` and `spring.shell.script.enabled` respecively.
