rpc-cli 2.2.3

Expose methods of an RPC server through a CLI.

RPC to CLI

Wrapper for Python OpenRPC to expose the methods of an RPC Server through a CLI.

Install

RPC CLI is on PyPI and can be installed with:

pip install rpc-cli

Or with Poetry

poetry add rpc-cli

Example

Given the following in a file demo.py.

from openrpc import RPCServer
from pydantic import BaseModel

from rpc_cli import cli

rpc = RPCServer()


class Vector3(BaseModel):
    x: float
    y: float
    z: float


@rpc.method()
def get_distance(a: Vector3, b: Vector3) -> Vector3:
    """Get distance between two points."""
    return Vector3(x=a.x - b.x, y=a.y - b.y, z=a.z - b.z)


@rpc.method()
def divide(a: int, b: int) -> float:
    """Divide two integers."""
    return a / b


@rpc.method()
def summation(numbers: list[int | float]) -> int | float:
    """Summ all numbers in a list."""
    return sum(numbers)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    cli(rpc).run()

You now have a CLI.

Using the CLI

Methods can be called as such, notice arrays and object parameters are passed as JSON strings.

python demo.py get_distance '{"x": 1, "y": 1, "z": 1}' '{"x": 1, "y": 1, "z": 1}'
python demo.py divide 6 2
python demo.py summation '[1, 2, 3]'

Auto Completions

This library uses cleo, auto completions can be made by following the instructions in the cleo docs.
