CLI tool to run scipts
Project description
jif
jif is a simple CLI tool inspired by NPM, more specifically the npm run
and npm install
commands.
Installation
python -m pip install jif
*I recommend installing and using jif in a virtualenv. It'll probably work fine globally but it is built with the assumption it is running in a virtualenv.
Commands
You can view all the commands with the CLI by running jif --help
.
If you want more details about a specific command, run jif <COMMAND> --help
.
init
The init
command creates the jif file (jif.json
) that the other commands use. The file will be saved in the dir that the command is run.
Optional flags
Flag | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
--entry-point |
Use this flag to point to the module that should run when calling the start command. | app.py |
--lint-dir |
Use this flag to tell jif which directory should be linted. | . |
--version |
Which version your package should begin at. | 0.0.1 |
--author |
Credits author. | None, omitted unless value is specified. |
--package |
Name of your package. | None, omitted unless value is specified. |
examples: jif init
, jif init --lint-dir src --entry-point src/main.py
run
The jif file let's you store scripts which can be executed using the run
command.
The following scripts can omit the run
keyword: start
, lint
and test
.
examples: jif start
, jif run my_script
install
The install
command uses pip to install packages and then automatically manages them for you in your jif file. If the requirements_file
is present, requirements will be duplicated there so your application isn't dependent on jif.
Optional flags
There are two optional flags that can be added to the end of your install command - --no-save
and --dev
. By default, when package(s) are installed they will be added to the requirements array in the jif file. If you add --dev
, it will save all those packages to the dev requirements array. If you want to install a package without saving it anywhere, add --no-save
to the end of your install command.
examples: jif install flask
, jif install black autopep8 --dev
, jif install black --no-save
uninstall
The uninstall
command will uninstall all packages specified then check to see if they are listed in either the requirements or dev requirements in the jif file. If they are in either, they will be removed. If the dev_requirements_file
is present, requirements will be duplicated there so your application isn't dependent on jif.
examples: jif uninstall flask black autopep
version
The version
command will output the current version of jif installed.
examples: jif version
