cacherapp / cacher-cli Goto Github PK

I would really like to import the batch of snippets from the json file I have exported from GistBox.
If there were any API documentation I could do it myself via a self-written script probably.
Yet, as there is now this CLI tool for cacher.io in the making, maybe it could implement such import feature.

Has there been any desire to insert an existing snippet (how would search occur) from CLI?

I am thinking something like:

> cacher snippets:insert --name filename.txt --labels bash,???

I guess I could always use gist, but I am so used to using Cacher in my workflow (usually use it from the VSCode extension) so it would be swell if it were available on the CLI

In my case, I dont use VSCode for PHP work (I prefer PHPStorm, but there is no plugin)

Noticed in the README instructions the terminal install is out of date. It should be npm install -g @cacherapp/cli instead of npm install -g @cacher/cli

From the documentation, it looks like you can only add snippets to Cacher.

Any chance of viewing snippets?

Something like:

cacher snippet view:{snippet title}, where {snippet title} matches or fuzzy matches the name of the snippet.

The ergonomics of this aren't super simple, but even dumping the snippet to stdout would be useful because then a user can pipe that into pbcopy. I'm surprised this issue hasn't been opened already.

First, just wanna say, I love this tool. Thanks!

One issue Im having is that sometimes I create large snippets, but I dont want the output to blast my terminal. The --quiet option hides the "View your snippet..." messages, but it doesnt hide the much louder "Snippet file content read from ...: " messages.

It seems to me that --quiet should truly quiet the output - maybe as far as only showing "Snippet successfully created: <title>" and nothing else. The current behavior could be maintained by another flag, something more specific like --suppress-links or something better. Even better, maybe the granularity of the logging could also be configured with ~/.cacher.storage.json, or another config file, if that one is too low-level.

Thoughts? Im happy to submit a PR for any of the aforementioned functionality, but I first want to make sure my ideas make sense.

Thanks!

Love the cli. Is there support for tags/labels?
