from as_cli.core.plugin_interface import BasePlugin, PluginMetadata
from .handler import MyHandler

class MyPlugin(BasePlugin):
    @property
    def metadata(self):
        return PluginMetadata(
            name="my-plugin",
            version="1.0.0",
            description="My custom plugin for AppSentinels CLI",
            author="Your Name",
            provides_commands=["my-command"]
        )
    
    def get_command_handlers(self):
        return {"my-command": MyHandler}
    
    def on_load(self):
        print("My plugin loaded!")
    
    def on_unload(self):
        print("My plugin unloaded!")

my_plugin/handler.py:

from as_cli.core.base_handler import BaseCommandHandler

class MyHandler(BaseCommandHandler):
    @property
    def command_name(self):
        return "my-command"
    
    @property
    def command_description(self):
        return "My custom command with profile awareness"
    
    def add_subcommands(self, parser):
        parser.add_argument("--option", help="Custom option")
        parser.add_argument("--env-specific", help="Environment-specific setting")
    
    async def handle_command(self, args):
        # Access current profile
        current_profile = self.config.current_profile
        
        return self.format_success_response(
            {
                "option": args.option,
                "profile": current_profile,
                "api_url": self.config.api.base_url
            },
            f"Command executed with profile '{current_profile}'"
        )

3. Entry Points Configuration

setup.py:

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
    name="my-cli-plugin",
    version="1.0.0",
    packages=find_packages(),
    entry_points={
        "as_cli.plugins": [
            "my-plugin = my_plugin.plugin:MyPlugin"
        ]
    },
    install_requires=["appsentinels-cli>=1.0.0"]

• Testing: Test with multiple profiles and environments
• Versioning: Use semantic versioning
• Dependencies: Minimize external dependencies

⚙️ Configuration System

Configuration Hierarchy

The configuration system follows a clear hierarchy (highest priority first):

1. Command-line arguments: --profile production
2. Environment variables: AS_DB_PASSWORD=secret
3. Profile configuration files: ~/.as-cli/profiles/[name].yaml
4. Default values: Built-in sensible defaults

Environment Variables

Create ~/.as-cli/.env from the template:

# Copy template and edit
cd ~/.as-cli
cp .env.template .env

Available Environment Variables:

# API Configuration
AS_API_BASE_URL=https://api.appsentinels.com
AS_API_TIMEOUT=30
AS_API_MAX_RETRIES=3

# OAuth Configuration
AS_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
AS_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
AS_AUTH_URL=https://auth.appsentinels.com
AS_TOKEN_URL=https://auth.appsentinels.com/oauth/token

# Database Configuration
AS_DB_URL=clickhouse://user:password@localhost:9000/database
AS_DB_USER=default
AS_DB_PASSWORD=your-database-password
AS_DB_HOST=localhost
AS_DB_PORT=9000

# Plugin Configuration (example for external plugins)
AS_PLUGIN_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/plugin/config
AS_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=true

# Output Configuration
AS_OUTPUT_FORMAT=table
AS_OUTPUT_COLOR=true
AS_OUTPUT_MAX_WIDTH=120

# Global Settings
AS_VERBOSE=false
AS_DEBUG=false

Configuration Migration

The CLI automatically handles configuration migration:

• Legacy single-file configs: Automatically migrated to separate profile files
• Version updates: Seamless migration between configuration versions
• Backup creation: Original configurations are preserved during migration

🖥️ Interactive Mode

# Enter interactive mode
as-cli --interactive

Interactive Session Example:

as-cli> profile list
as-cli> profile switch production
as-cli> ingest config --show
as-cli> plugin list
as-cli> hello --name "Interactive Mode"
as-cli> help
as-cli> exit

🧪 Development

Setting up Development Environment

Core CLI Development

# Clone and setup core CLI
git clone https://github.com/appsentinels/as-cli.git
cd as-cli

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install core CLI in development mode
pip install -e .[dev]

# Verify core functionality
as-cli --help
as-cli profile list
as-cli plugin list        # Should show no plugins initially

Plugin Development Setup

# Install example plugin for development (editable mode)
cd external/as-cli-hello && pip install -e . && cd ../..

# Install ingest plugin (private repository)
git clone https://github.com/vinay4appsentinels/as-cli-ingest.git
cd as-cli-ingest && pip install -e . && cd ../..

# Verify plugin installation
as-cli plugin list        # Should show installed plugins
as-cli hello --help       # Test hello plugin
as-cli ingest --help      # Test ingest plugin

🛠️ Development Mode Workflow

Development mode allows rapid iteration on plugin functionality:

as-cli profile create dev --description "Development environment"
as-cli profile create staging --description "Staging environment"  
as-cli profile create prod --description "Production environment"

# Verify core setup
as-cli profile list

Step 2: Install Required Plugins

# Install data ingest plugin for database operations
cd external/as-cli-ingest && pip install -e .

# Verify plugin availability
as-cli plugin list
as-cli plugin info ingest

Step 3: Configure Each Environment

# Development environment
as-cli --profile dev ingest config --host localhost --port 9000 --database dev_logs --save

# Staging environment
as-cli --profile staging ingest config --host staging-db.internal --database staging_logs --save

# Production environment
as-cli --profile prod ingest config --host prod-cluster.internal --database prod_logs --use-docker false --save

Step 4: Environment-Specific Workflows

# Development workflow
as-cli --profile dev ingest records --file dev-data.parquet --table-name test_logs

# Staging validation
as-cli --profile staging ingest records --file staging-data.parquet --table-name api_logs
as-cli --profile staging ingest view --table-name api_logs --limit 5

# Production deployment
as-cli --profile prod ingest records --file production-data.parquet --table-name api_logs --telemetry

Plugin Development Workflow

# 1. Create monitoring plugin
mkdir external/as-cli-monitoring
cd external/as-cli-monitoring

# 2. Implement plugin (see plugin development section)
# 3. Install and test
pip install -e .
as-cli plugin list
as-cli monitoring --help

# 4. Test with different profiles
as-cli --profile dev monitoring status
as-cli --profile prod monitoring alerts --severity high

Advanced Data Ingest Pipeline

# 1. Configure production database
as-cli --profile prod ingest config --db-url clickhouse://user:pass@prod-cluster:9000/logs

# 2. Generate schema from sample data
as-cli --profile prod ingest records --file sample.parquet --generate-schema prod-schema.json

# 3. Create table with schema
as-cli --profile prod ingest records --file sample.parquet --table-name api_logs --create-table --schema-file prod-schema.json

# 4. Bulk import with monitoring
as-cli --profile prod ingest records --dir /data/logs --table-name api_logs --batch-size 10000 --telemetry

# 5. Verify and query data
as-cli --profile prod ingest view --table-name api_logs --limit 10
as-cli --profile prod ingest view --table-name api_logs --where "status_code >= 400" --order-by "timestamp DESC"
