kitchenowl-cli 0.1.6

CLI for interacting with the KitchenOwl API.

kitchenowl-cli

Command-line client for KitchenOwl's /api endpoints, covering auth, household, recipe, shopping list, and user workflows.

Supported CLI surface

• kitchenowl auth [login|logout|status|signup] — JWT login with refresh, logout and signup helpers.
• kitchenowl config [show|set-default-household|server-settings] — manage stored tokens/default household and inspect read-only server flags from /api/health.
• kitchenowl household [list|use|get|create|update|delete] and kitchenowl household member [list|add|remove].
• kitchenowl recipe [list|get|add|edit|delete] with JSON/YAML payload support and flag-based editors, including ingredients management.
• kitchenowl shoppinglist [list|create|delete|items|add-item|add-item-by-name|suggested|remove-item] plus the dedicated remove-item command to mark items done.
• kitchenowl user [list|get|search|create|update|delete] for admins.
• run_cli_e2e.sh script exercises login, household creation, lists, recipes, planner, expenses, and optionally house cleanup.

Install

Publish to PyPI via GitHub Actions

This repository includes .github/workflows/publish.yml for Trusted Publishing.

One-time setup:

• In PyPI, create a Trusted Publisher for this GitHub repository and workflow file.
• In GitHub, keep the repository public and allow Actions to run.

Release flow:

git tag v0.1.1
git push origin v0.1.1

Then create a GitHub Release for that tag (or publish from the Releases UI).
When the release is published, the workflow builds and uploads kitchenowl-cli to PyPI.

Quick start examples

kitchenowl auth login --server https://your-kitchenowl.example.com
# tip: both https://host and https://host/api are accepted
kitchenowl config server-settings
kitchenowl household list
kitchenowl household member list --household-id 42
kitchenowl household member add 17 --household-id 42 --admin
kitchenowl shoppinglist create "Weekly List" --household-id 42
kitchenowl shoppinglist add-item-by-name 12 Milk --description "2L"
kitchenowl shoppinglist remove-item 12 456 -y
kitchenowl recipe add --name "Tomato Soup" --description "Simple soup" --household-id 42 --yields 2 --time 25 --ingredient "Tomatoes|6 pcs|false" --ingredient "Salt|1 tsp|false"
kitchenowl recipe edit 123 --description "Updated" --ingredient "Basil|a handful|true"
kitchenowl recipe delete 123
kitchenowl user list
kitchenowl auth signup --username newuser --name "New User"

auth login / auth signup will always ask for the server URL when --server is not provided, using your last saved server as the default.

Read-only server settings

Inspect the public read-only settings exposed by the server health endpoint (works without login if you pass --server):

kitchenowl config server-settings --server https://your-kitchenowl.example.com
kitchenowl config server-settings --json

This currently shows:

• open_registration
• email_mandatory
• oidc_provider
• privacy_policy (if configured)
• terms (if configured)

File-based recipe editing

kitchenowl recipe add --household-id 1 --from-file recipe.yml
kitchenowl recipe edit 42 --from-file recipe.yml

Example recipe.yml:

description: Simple soup
time: 25
cook_time: 20

What’s not implemented yet

• Planner CLI commands (beyond the end-to-end script that calls /planner/recipe).
• Expense management (create/edit/delete categories or entries) via CLI wrappers.
• Shopping list item bulk operations (remove multiple items at once) and the planner suggestion refresh endpoints.
• More advanced user workflows (password resets, token management, server admin tooling) are still API-only.
