declaratively

In statement form

Declaratively describes doing something by stating or announcing it directly.

In programming, declarative code specifies *what* outcome you want rather than *how* to achieve it: The page layout was defined declaratively in HTML.

More generally, to speak declaratively is to make statements rather than ask questions or issue commands.
