cli_engine/
lib.rs

1//! Build consistent, domain-oriented CLIs with a small amount of Rust.
2//!
3//! `cli_engine` provides the shared pieces that most CLI tools need:
4//! command registration, authentication provider routing, authorization hooks,
5//! audit and activity hooks, structured output, output schemas, guides, search,
6//! command tree rendering, busybox-style multi-call (`argv[0]`) dispatch, and
7//! authenticated HTTP transport helpers.
8//!
9//! The intended shape is:
10//!
11//! 1. Each team owns one or more [`Module`] values.
12//! 2. A module registers noun-based [`GroupSpec`] groups.
13//! 3. Groups contain verb-like [`CommandSpec`] leaf commands.
14//! 4. Command handlers stay focused on domain behavior while [`Middleware`]
15//!    handles authentication, dry-run, audit, activity, output, and errors.
16//!
17//! # Quick Start
18//!
19//! ```no_run
20//! use clap::Arg;
21//! use cli_engine::{
22//!     BuildInfo, Cli, CliConfig, CommandSpec, GroupSpec, Module,
23//!     RuntimeCommandSpec, RuntimeGroupSpec,
24//! };
25//! use serde_json::json;
26//!
27//! #[tokio::main]
28//! async fn main() -> std::process::ExitCode {
29//!     let list = RuntimeCommandSpec::new(
30//!         CommandSpec::new("list", "List projects")
31//!             .with_system("projects-api")
32//!             .with_default_fields("id,name,status")
33//!             .with_arg(Arg::new("team").long("team").required(true))
34//!             .no_auth(true),
35//!         async |_credential, args| {
36//!             let team = args
37//!                 .get("team")
38//!                 .and_then(|value| value.as_str())
39//!                 .unwrap_or_default();
40//!             Ok(cli_engine::CommandResult::new(json!([
41//!                 { "id": "p1", "name": "Portal", "status": "active", "team": team }
42//!             ])))
43//!         },
44//!     );
45//!
46//!     let module = Module::new("Platform Systems", move |_context| {
47//!         RuntimeGroupSpec::new(GroupSpec::new("project", "Manage projects"))
48//!             .with_command(list.clone())
49//!     });
50//!
51//!     let cli = Cli::new(
52//!         CliConfig::new("example", "Example cli-engine application", "example")
53//!             .with_build(BuildInfo::new(env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION")))
54//!             .with_module(module),
55//!     );
56//!
57//!     cli.execute().await
58//! }
59//! ```
60//!
61//! Command paths are colon-separated (`project:list`) for policy, audit,
62//! schema, and authorization compatibility with existing CLI ecosystems.
