General info

This project is a command line selection tool. It stores commands in a sqlite database and their tags

Why build this?

Go never changes
Wanted a easy quick way to run commands and search for them.

What does it do?

Made a multi-part series on it

Technologies

Project is created with:

atomicgo.dev/keyboard - For pressing keys
github.com/Masterminds/sprig - For template functions
https://pkg.go.dev/modernc.org/sqlite - Basically for keeping state

Requirements

go 1.21 for gonew

How to run as is?

*- clone it

git clone https://github.com/golangast/switchterm

- or
- install gonew to pull down project quickly

go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/gonew@latest

- run gonew

gonew github.com/golangast/switchterm example.com/switchterm

- cd into switchterm

Overview of the code.

allows for the user to select one from multiple values

answer := DigSingle(lists, 1, "green", "red")

allows for the user to select many from multiple values

answer := Dig(lists, 1, "green", "red")

prints the selection and formats it.

switchutility.PrintColumnsWChosen(cols, atline, results, background, foreground)

allows you to ask a question and save the value

       fmt.Println("add a commnd..")
		scanner := bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin)
		scanner.Scan()
		inputcmd := scanner.Text()

prints the directions and clears the terminal

 	switchutility.ClearDirections()

allows you to start the keyboard key press selecting

         err := keyboard.Listen(func(key keys.Key) (stop bool, err error) {
		switch key.String() {

*improved library sugar syntax

to display a list of values to be chosen

	domainanswer := switchselector.MenuInstuctions(ds, 1, "purple", "purple", "which domain do you prefer to use?")

to ask a question and store the answer

    datafields := switchutility.InputScanDirections("Whats the fields of the data? ")

to run bash commands to usually pull down imports.

if err := switchutility.ShellBash("cd genserv/ && go run ."); err != nil {
		switchutility.Checklogger(err, "running certification")
	}

to update text in a file.

	if err := switchutility.UpdateText("dirtory/file.go", "text to check for", "what you are replacing", "text to do replacing"); err != nil {
		switchutility.Checklogger(err, "message for the error")
	}

Things to remember

using atomicgo.dev/keyboard there is no way to call itself after a key press
Remember to run the database server. It is under the generate command
If you are using digital ocean
- Remember to generate certs
- Remember to change their permissions sudo chmod 755 /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourdomain/*.pem # Adjust if file names differ
- Remember to run the database in /bin

 ./rqlited -auth config.json -http-addr yourdomain.com:25060 -http-cert /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourdomain.com/fullchain.pem -http-key /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourdomain.com/privkey.pem  ~/node.1

Reference Commands

"enter" is to select
"c" is to select many
"r" is to remove
"x" is to execute
"q" is to quit

Just added

Why Go?

The language is done since 1.0.https://youtu.be/rFejpH_tAHM there are little features that get added after 10 years but whatever you learn now will forever be useful.
It also has a compatibility promise https://go.dev/doc/go1compat
It was also built by great people. https://hackernoon.com/why-go-ef8850dc5f3c
14th used language https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2021
Highest starred language https://github.com/golang/go
It is also number 1 language to go to and not from https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2021/#Do-you-plan-to-adopt--migrate-to-other-languages-in-the-next--months-If-so-to-which-ones
Go is growing in all measures https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/stars/2023/3
Jobs are almost doubling every year. https://stacktrends.dev/technologies/programming-languages/golang/
