Formulaic is published with [PowerShell Pipeworks](http://powershellpipeworks.com), which turns the module into a web site and service.
You can run many commands with a RESTful url. For instance, to see the angle of a 10 unit rise and a 10 unit run, visit [http://get-math.com/Get-Angle/10/10](http://get-math.com/Get-Angle/10/10). To get the results of the command as JSON, visit [http://get-math.com/Get-Angle/10/10/?AsJson=true](http://get-math.com/Get-Angle/10/10/?AsJson=true). You can also supply parameters to a function in Formulaic by using the name of the command and the name of the parameters. For instance: [http://get-math.com/Get-Angle/?Get-Angle_Rise=10&Get-Angle_Run=10](http://get-math.com/Get-Angle/?Get-Angle_Rise=10&Get-Angle_Run=10). You can get the value back from any function in a few different formats: * [AsJson](http://get-math.com/Get-Angle/10/10/?AsJson=true) * [AsRss](http://get-math.com/Get-Angle/10/10/?AsRss=true) * [AsXml](http://get-math.com/Get-Angle/10/10/?AsXml=true) You can also get a widget to embed any function within a page, by passing ?widget=true * [http://get-math.com/Get-Angle/?Widget=true](http://get-math.com/Get-Angle/?Widget=true) Or you can use ?snug=true to make both the input widget and it's result embeddable * [http://get-math.com/Get-Angle/?Snug=true](http://get-math.com/Get-Angle/?Snug=true) The Formulaic web site is built using a file called the Pipeworks Manifest. If you download the source code for Formulaic, you can check it out: it's Formulaic.Pipeworks.psd1. This file controls which functions can be run as a service and how the module will be published. |
