Serve click scripts over the web with minimal effort.

click-web

Serve click scripts over the web with minimal effort.

Caution: No security (login etc.), do not serve scripts publicly.

Usage

See this demo screen capture.

Take an existing click script, like this one:

example_command.py

import click
import time

@click.group()
def cli():
    'A stupid script to test click-web'
    pass

@cli.command()
@click.option("--delay", type=float, default=0.01, help='delay for every line print')
@click.argument("lines", default=10, type=int)
def print_rows(lines, delay):
    'Print lines with a delay'
    click.echo(f"writing: {lines} with {delay}")
    for i in range(lines):
        click.echo(f"Hello row: {i}")
        time.sleep(delay)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    cli()

Create a minimal script to run with flask

app.py

from click_web import create_click_web_app
import example_command

app = create_click_web_app(example_command, example_command.cli)

Running example app:

In Bash:

export FLASK_ENV=development
export FLASK_APP=app.py
flask run

Unsupported click features

It has only been tested with basic click features, and most advanced features will probably not work.

• Variadic Arguments (will need some JS on client side)

• Promts (probably never will)

• Custom ParamTypes (depending on implementation)

TODO

• Abort started/running processes.
