Alpakr CLI

A simple package lookup service that isn't to strict about its inputs. Support repositories are: crates.io, pypipy.org, and npm.

Conjugation of 'All' and 'Packager' and pronounced the friendly fury alpaca.

Install

shell cargo install alpakr-cli

Usage

Copy paste a fragment from a Cargo.toml, package.json or python requirments.txt file and pipe it to alpakr.

shell $ echo " console = "0.15.0" base64 = "0.13.0" serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }" | alpakr

shell $ grep -A 3 "console" Cargo.toml | alpakr

shell $ alpakr <enter> console = "0.15.0" base64 = "0.13.0" serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] } <ctrl-d>

```shell

If you are on Mac use pbpaste

$ pbpaste | alpakr ```

Example output:

``` console -> A terminal and console abstraction for Rust https://crates.io/crates/console

base64 -> encodes and decodes base64 as bytes or utf8 https://crates.io/crates/base64

serde -> A generic serialization/deserialization framework https://crates.io/crates/serde

serdejson -> A JSON serialization file format https://crates.io/crates/serdejson ```

Options

• --verbose: see encoded payload and full response
• --json: output as JSON

Motivation

In short. I read a lot of code in many different languages. Part of that is looking into what third party packages are used. This can be by reading package.json files or skimming through the text when compiling a Rust program. I wanted to make it easier to learn about packages I don't know about.
