Spellcraft CLI is a Python project that generates command-line interfaces (CLIs) from configurations. Each CLI plugin is packaged as a separate module containing a configuration and a list of commands. Our nomenclature revolves around the concept of spells and incantations, where plugins are spells and commands are incantations.
## Usage
1. Prepare your plugins:
- Each plugin should have its own directory under the
plugins folder.
- Each plugin directory should contain a
commands.txt file with the shell
commands.
- Optionally, include a configuration file
(commands.json or
commands.yaml) for command
arguments.
2. Generate the CLI:
``` shell
python -m spellcraft.cli generate-cli plugins/
```
3. Use the generated CLI:
``` shell
python -m spellcraft.cli [arguments]
```
## Example
Example commands.txt for
list_files plugin:
``` text
list_files:ls -la {{ directory }}
```
Example commands.json for
list_files plugin:
``` json
{
"list_files": {
"arguments": {
"directory": {
"prompt": "Please enter the directory",
"default": "."
}
}
}
}
```
Example commands.txt for
do_something_else plugin:
``` text
do_something_else:echo {{ message }}
```
Example commands.yaml for
do_something_else plugin:
``` yaml
do_something_else:
arguments:
message:
prompt: "Please enter a message"
default: "Hello, World!"
```

# Dev Setup
## Very first steps
### Initialize your code
1. Initialize `git` inside your repo:
```bash
cd spell-craft && git init
```
2. If you don't have `Poetry` installed run:
```bash
make poetry-download
```
3. Initialize poetry and install `pre-commit` hooks:
```bash
make install
make pre-commit-install
```
4. Run the codestyle:
```bash
make codestyle
```
5. Upload initial code to GitHub:
```bash
git add .
git commit -m ":tada: Initial commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/reedjones/spell-craft.git
git push -u origin main
```
### Set up bots
- Set up [Dependabot](https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/enabling-and-disabling-version-updates#enabling-github-dependabot-version-updates) to ensure you have the latest dependencies.
- Set up [Stale bot](https://github.com/apps/stale) for automatic issue closing.
### Poetry
Want to know more about Poetry? Check [its documentation](https://python-poetry.org/docs/).
Details about Poetry
Poetry's [commands](https://python-poetry.org/docs/cli/#commands) are very intuitive and easy to learn, like:
- `poetry add numpy@latest`
- `poetry run pytest`
- `poetry publish --build`
etc
### Building and releasing your package
Building a new version of the application contains steps:
- Bump the version of your package `poetry version `. You can pass the new version explicitly, or a rule such as `major`, `minor`, or `patch`. For more details, refer to the [Semantic Versions](https://semver.org/) standard.
- Make a commit to `GitHub`.
- Create a `GitHub release`.
- And... publish π `poetry publish --build`

## π Features
### Development features
- Supports for `Python 3.8` and higher.
- [`Poetry`](https://python-poetry.org/) as the dependencies manager. See configuration in [`pyproject.toml`](https://github.com/reedjones/spell-craft/blob/master/pyproject.toml) and [`setup.cfg`](https://github.com/reedjones/spell-craft/blob/master/setup.cfg).
- Automatic codestyle with [`black`](https://github.com/psf/black), [`isort`](https://github.com/timothycrosley/isort) and [`pyupgrade`](https://github.com/asottile/pyupgrade).
- Ready-to-use [`pre-commit`](https://pre-commit.com/) hooks with code-formatting.
- Type checks with [`mypy`](https://mypy.readthedocs.io); docstring checks with [`darglint`](https://github.com/terrencepreilly/darglint); security checks with [`safety`](https://github.com/pyupio/safety) and [`bandit`](https://github.com/PyCQA/bandit)
- Testing with [`pytest`](https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/).
- Ready-to-use [`.editorconfig`](https://github.com/reedjones/spell-craft/blob/master/.editorconfig), [`.dockerignore`](https://github.com/reedjones/spell-craft/blob/master/.dockerignore), and [`.gitignore`](https://github.com/reedjones/spell-craft/blob/master/.gitignore). You don't have to worry about those things.
### Deployment features
- `GitHub` integration: issue and pr templates.
- `Github Actions` with predefined [build workflow](https://github.com/reedjones/spell-craft/blob/master/.github/workflows/build.yml) as the default CI/CD.
- Everything is already set up for security checks, codestyle checks, code formatting, testing, linting, docker builds, etc with [`Makefile`](https://github.com/reedjones/spell-craft/blob/master/Makefile#L89). More details in [makefile-usage](#makefile-usage).
- [Dockerfile](https://github.com/reedjones/spell-craft/blob/master/docker/Dockerfile) for your package.
- Always up-to-date dependencies with [`@dependabot`](https://dependabot.com/). You will only [enable it](https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/enabling-and-disabling-version-updates#enabling-github-dependabot-version-updates).
- Automatic drafts of new releases with [`Release Drafter`](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/release-drafter). You may see the list of labels in [`release-drafter.yml`](https://github.com/reedjones/spell-craft/blob/master/.github/release-drafter.yml). Works perfectly with [Semantic Versions](https://semver.org/) specification.
### Open source community features
- Ready-to-use [Pull Requests templates](https://github.com/reedjones/spell-craft/blob/master/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md) and several [Issue templates](https://github.com/reedjones/spell-craft/tree/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE).
- Files such as: `LICENSE`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`, and `SECURITY.md` are generated automatically.
- [`Stale bot`](https://github.com/apps/stale) that closes abandoned issues after a period of inactivity. (You will only [need to setup free plan](https://github.com/marketplace/stale)). Configuration is [here](https://github.com/reedjones/spell-craft/blob/master/.github/.stale.yml).
- [Semantic Versions](https://semver.org/) specification with [`Release Drafter`](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/release-drafter).
## Installation
```bash
pip install -U spell-craft
```
or install with `Poetry`
```bash
poetry add spell-craft
```
Then you can run
```bash
spell-craft --help
```
or with `Poetry`:
```bash
poetry run spell-craft --help
```
### Makefile usage
[`Makefile`](https://github.com/reedjones/spell-craft/blob/master/Makefile) contains a lot of functions for faster development.
1. Download and remove Poetry
To download and install Poetry run:
```bash
make poetry-download
```
To uninstall
```bash
make poetry-remove
```
2. Install all dependencies and pre-commit hooks
Install requirements:
```bash
make install
```
Pre-commit hooks coulb be installed after `git init` via
```bash
make pre-commit-install
```
3. Codestyle
Automatic formatting uses `pyupgrade`, `isort` and `black`.
```bash
make codestyle
# or use synonym
make formatting
```
Codestyle checks only, without rewriting files:
```bash
make check-codestyle
```
> Note: `check-codestyle` uses `isort`, `black` and `darglint` library
Update all dev libraries to the latest version using one comand
```bash
make update-dev-deps
```
4. Code security
```bash
make check-safety
```
This command launches `Poetry` integrity checks as well as identifies security issues with `Safety` and `Bandit`.
```bash
make check-safety
```
5. Type checks
Run `mypy` static type checker
```bash
make mypy
```
6. Tests with coverage badges
Run `pytest`
```bash
make test
```
7. All linters
Of course there is a command to ~~rule~~ run all linters in one:
```bash
make lint
```
the same as:
```bash
make test && make check-codestyle && make mypy && make check-safety
```
8. Docker
```bash
make docker-build
```
which is equivalent to:
```bash
make docker-build VERSION=latest
```
Remove docker image with
```bash
make docker-remove
```
More information [about docker](https://github.com/reedjones/spell-craft/tree/master/docker).
9. Cleanup
Delete pycache files
```bash
make pycache-remove
```
Remove package build
```bash
make build-remove
```
Delete .DS_STORE files
```bash
make dsstore-remove
```
Remove .mypycache
```bash
make mypycache-remove
```
Or to remove all above run:
```bash
make cleanup
```
