About

The sprint crate provides the Shell struct which represents a shell session in your library or CLI code and can be used for running commands:

Show the output
Return the output

Shell exposes its properties so you can easily create a custom shell or modify an existing shell with the settings you want.

The sprint crate also provides the sprint CLI which provides an easy way to use the library directly from the command line in two modes:

Run command(s) given as arguments
Run interactively

CLI examples

$ sprint -h
Command runner

Usage: sprint [OPTIONS] [STRING]...

Arguments:
  [STRING]...  File(s) or command(s)

Options:
  -s <STRING>          Shell [default: "sh -c"]
  -f <STRING>          Fence [default: ```]
  -i <STRING>          Info [default: text]
  -p <STRING>          Prompt [default: "$ "]
      --color <COLOR>  Force enable/disable terminal colors [default: auto]
                       [possible values: auto, always, never]
  -h, --help           Print help
  -V, --version        Print version

Run command(s) given as arguments

$ sprint ls
```text
$ ls

Run interactively

Library examples

Run command(s) and show the output

use sprint::*;

let shell = Shell::default();

shell.run(&[Command::new("ls"), Command::new("ls -l")]);

// or equivalently:
//shell.run_str(&["ls", "ls -l"]);

Run command(s) and return the output

use sprint::*;

let shell = Shell::default();

let results = shell.run(&[Command {
    command: String::from("ls"),
    stdout: Pipe::string(),
    codes: vec![0],
    ..Default::default()
}]);

assert_eq!(
    results[0].stdout,
    Pipe::String(Some(String::from("\
Cargo.lock
Cargo.toml
CHANGELOG.md

src
t
target

\
    "))),
);

Customize

use sprint::*;

let shell = Shell {
    shell: Some(String::from("sh -c")),

    dry_run: false,
    sync: true,
    print: true,

    fence: String::from("```"),
    info: String::from("text"),
    prompt: String::from("$ "),

    fence_color: bunt::style!("#555555"),
    info_color: bunt::style!("#555555"),
    prompt_color: bunt::style!("#555555"),
    command_color: bunt::style!("#00ffff+bold"),
    error_color: bunt::style!("#ff0000+bold+italic"),
};

shell.run(&[Command::new("ls"), Command::new("ls -l")]);

Modify

use sprint::*;

let mut shell = Shell::default();

shell.shell = None;

shell.run(&[Command::new("ls"), Command::new("ls -l")]);

shell.sync = false;

shell.run(&[Command::new("ls"), Command::new("ls -l")]);
