ThingsDB Prompt

ThingsPrompt

Shell client for ThingsDB.

Installation

Using pip:

pip install thingsprompt

Or, clone this project and use the setup

python setup.py install

Example usage

things-prompt -n localhost -u admin -p pass


127.0.0.1:9200 (@thingsdb)> new_collection('my_collection');
127.0.0.1:9200 (@thingsdb)> @:my_collection
127.0.0.1:9200 (@:my_collection)> .greet = "Hello world!";

"Hello world!"

For users encountering issues executing the things-prompt command due to the script directory not being included in their system's PATH environment variable, an alternative invocation method exists. Users can bypass the PATH requirement by directly invoking the module via python -m thingsprompt (note the lack of hyphen). This approach is particularly advantageous in scenarios where multiple Python environments host thingsprompt installations, and precise environment selection is crucial.

Example import/export

# Export the "stuff" collection to a filename
things-prompt -n localhost -u admin -p pass -s //stuff export /tmp/dump.mp

# Import the file into a new collection "clone"
# ThingsDB prompt will automatically create the collection if it does not exist
things-prompt -n localhost -u admin -p pass -s //clone import /tmp/dump.mp
