Echo Messages

In the dynamic world of automation, real-time feedback is essential. DEX8 Echo Messages are a critical communication channel between automated tasks and their human supervisors. These messages provide a detailed view of the inner workings of DEX8 Workers, enabling users to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize skript execution with pinpoint accuracy.

What Are DEX8 Echo Messages?

Echo messages are concise notifications generated by DEX8 Workers during skript execution. They provide real-time insights into task progress, errors, and execution steps. Developers can use the @mikosoft/echo npm library to generate echo messages in their DEX8 Skripts.

Echo Methods

DEX8 Echo Messages provide several methods to convey information:

  • log() - Generates a log message to record skript execution details.
  • warn() - Issues a warning message to highlight potential issues without stopping execution.
  • error() - Sends an error message when an issue prevents skript continuation.
  • objekt() - Transmits complex data structures like arrays and objects.
  • image() - Sends images, such as screenshots or captchas, to the Web Panel.

Echo messages are transmitted in real-time to the user's Web Panel for monitoring, debugging, and ensuring efficient skript execution.
