A tool for building personal and team CLI tools.
easy-cli takes a CLI-Tool name option and a path to a directory of scripts as arguments. It assumes each script ist to be a CLI command, and builds an appropriate CLI parser.
It could be used as an alias, but (in my experience, in zsh) this does not work with completion. You can define a function for your cli, for instance:
mycli() {
<Path>/easy-cli --name mycli <Path-to-easy-cli-root>/example -- $@
}
and then calling
mycli
produces output:
```
error: 'mycli' requires a subcommand but one was not provided
[subcommands: hello, list, help]
Usage: mycli
For more information try '--help'
Then calling
mycli hello
will print
Hello, world!
```
Arguments trailing the command will be passed to the relevant script.
easy-cli offers completion for your cli in a number of shells - those supported by clap_complete. To generate completions for your cli, run:
easy-cli --name <cli-name> <Path-to-cli-dir> --completions <shell> > <completions_file>
and proceed as required by your shell.
cli <commandA> <subcommandA1>), to group related commands.
