Converts CLIs into web forms
Project description
clooey
Command Line Interface (CLI) to a minimal Web UI.
Getting Started
Start by installing clooey using pip.
pip install pip+https://github.com/alvinwan/clooey.git
You can then use the API to convert a script into a form.
import clooey
cli = clooey.parse('sample.py')
html = clooey.generate(cli, clooey.TEMPLATE_FORM) # use default jinja2 template
For customizing your own form HTML, you must use the loop index for input names.
The template is provided with one inputs
list of strings, which are the
prompts provided to input
function calls.
Web Demo
See an actual web form by running the following command:
python main.py web sample.py
From left to right, you'll see the launched Flask app with the following form, fill out the form as you would the CLI, then submit the form to see the output.
CLI Demo
Run the CLI.
python main.py cli sample.py
You'll then see the following output
<form method="post">
<label>Enter your name: </label>
<input type="text" name="1">
<label>Enter your age: </label>
<input type="text" name="2">
<label>Enter your city: </label>
<input type="text" name="3">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
Next, the script will prompt you for input, as though you were filling out the web form.
Enter your name: Alvin
Enter your age: 1000
Enter your city: Seattle
Finally, the script will execute the Python script with the input values.
Welcome to Seattle, Alvin (1000)!
