Obviously, not all of this is needed for many Bash scripts, but anything with more than two subcommands will benefit from the builtin tab completion, embedded Markdown help documentation support, and included functions (`usage`, `_filter`, `_buffer`, `_have`, etc.) ## Naming Conventions * Name repos containing single bash commands with `cmd-` * Name template repos beginning with `template-` * Start command functions with `command_` to be completed * Start command functions with `command__` to not be completed ## Dependencies Required: * Bash 4+ Optional: * `pandoc` - for rich help docs * `jq` - for `json` and anything that uses it ## Justification Bash is the dominate shell scripting language and the official default Linux interactive shell, which reduces cognitive overhead; every command line *is* a line of code that could be put into script as is. Bash scripts are at the core of cloud, containers, and Kubernetes. Bash 4+ with its associative array support, powerful regular expressions, and multiple ways of feeding data to loops easily covers the needs previously requiring Python and Perl scripts. Bash scripts are also much more powerful, safer, flexible, and performant than POSIX shell or Zsh. ## Guidelines * Write GitHub Flavored Markdown only * Use present tense ("outputs" over "will output") * Prefer term "output" and "display" over ~~print~~ * Follow the [naming conventions](#naming-conventions) * Use the official bash path: `#!/bin/bash` * Use of `#!/usr/bin/bash` is outdated * Using `#!/usr/bin/env bash` introduces unnecessary risk * Explicitly export `PATH` in script when possible * Always check script with [`shellcheck`] before releasing * Always use `bc` for *any* floating point math [`shellcheck`]: ## Legal Copyright 2021 Rob Muhlestein Released under Apache-2.0 License Please mention ' HELP[foo]='Foos things.' command_foo() { _filter "$@" && return $? echo "would foo: $*" } HELP[bar]=' ``` '"$EXE"' bar ``` Bar the things.' command_bar() { _buffer "$@" && return $? echo "would bar: $*" } HELP[json]=' ## Convert to JSON String ``` '"$EXE"' json STRING '"$EXE"' json <<< STRING '"$EXE"' json < FILE '"$EXE"' json < <(COMMAND) ``` Converts input into JSON string using `jq` (if found) containing only escaped (`\\n`) line returns.' command_json() { _jsonstr "$@"; } command__hidden() { _filter "$@" && return $? echo "would run _hidden: $*" } # ------------------ builtin commands and functions ------------------ # (https://github.com/rwxrob/template-bash-command) HELP[usage]='Displays a summary of usage.' command_usage() { local -a cmds for c in "${COMMANDS[@]}"; do [[ ${c:0:1} =~ _ ]] && continue cmds+=("$c") done local IFS='|' printf "usage: %s (%s)\n" "$EXE" "${cmds[*]}" } HELP[help]=' ``` '"$EXE"' help [COMMAND] ``` Displays specific help information. If no argument is passed displays general help information (main). Otherwise, the documentation for the specific argument keyword is displayed, which usually corresponds to a COMMAND name (but not necessarily). All documentation is written in GitHub Flavored Markdown and will displayed as a web page if `pandoc` and `$HELP_BROWSER` are detected, otherwise, just the Markdown is sent to `$PAGER` (default: more).

With a single KEY argument fetches the value for that key and outputs it. With more than one argument the remaining arguments after the KEY will be combined into the VALUE and written to a `values` file in the standard configuration home location (Search for `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` for more information). ### Configuration `values` File Format The file (which is almost always located at `~/.config/'"$EXE"'/values`) uses the simplest possible format to facilitate standard UNIX parsing and filtering with any number of existing tools (and no `jq` dependency). * One KEY=VALUE per line * KEYs may be anything but the equal sign (`=`) * VALUEs may be anything but line returns must be escaped Note that this is *not* the same as Java properties and other similar format.
