Installation

Install via pip:

pip install geny

After installation, the CLI will expose the binary with the name:

geny

Extending the CLI

Currently, there are two main ways of extending the functionality of the CLI:

1. Adding your own commands/plugins
2. Overriding the provided resource templates

Including your own commands

If you would like to extend the functionality of this CLI, you can include your own plugins/commands by setting an environment variable: GENY_PLUGINS. Simply set this variable to the path where your plugins are.

Plugin commands are auto-discovered if they are placed under the plugins directory, but please be sure to do the following for this to work:

1. Name your package and click command the same. That is, a package called get, for example, should define a get command.
2. Place the command definition within the package's main.py module. For example:

# get/main.py
import click


@click.command()
@click.pass_context
def get(ctx):
    pass

3. Sub-commands should be added to the top-most command group in the package's main.py module.

# get/main.py
import click


@click.group() # <- group
@click.pass_context
def get(ctx):
  pass


@click.command()
@click.pass_context
def foo(ctx):
  pass


get.add_command(foo)

4. Access your commands via your top-most command group.

geny get foo

NOTE: If you would like to skip a plugin/command from being auto-discovered, simply rename the package by either prepending or appending any number of underscores (_). Any code contained within the package will be ignored.

Overriding the templates

The flag --templates-dir can be used to configure an additional path wherein the CLI can look for resource templates. Alternatively, you can use the environment variable GENY_TEMPLATES_DIR for the same purpose.
