Mainflux CLI about mainflux HOT 10 CLOSED

This looks interesting: https://github.com/spf13/cobra

@nmarcetic would you like to take this one? Looks like a good Go training session :)

I added https://github.com/Mainflux/mainflux-cli to get us started.

Hmm... on the second thought I think thart REPL shell (something like mongo cli` would be more adequate. That reminds me that Telefonica has created one for Fiware IoT Agent: https://github.com/telefonicaid/iotagent-node-lib#-iot-library-testing - I could enter in the interactive shell and send commands to IoT Agent Server - i.e. tell where the host is, send provisioning commands, inspect resources, etc...

However - for Go I could not find anything better than this: https://github.com/abiosoft/ishell

This one should be postponed until we figure out should we use EMQTT, as it has it's own CLI that we can potentially re-use.

@manuio can you please take a look at this dev, tell us what is needed.

@mijicd I've used https://github.com/spf13/cobra, but now I am not 100% sure that this is the best approach. Do you think that having an interactive shell (like MongoDB or Emqtt have) would be better?

I do not know how this can be achieved, the best I have found is this: https://github.com/abiosoft/ishell

from mainflux.

@drasko I did a little research. As you, I think that ishell seems to be the best option and there are not many others...

Otherwise if it's only for an internal purpose we can do a simple interface with fmt and bufio pkgs and use net/http pkg to send requests, no?

Python seem to have more mature libraries. This one: https://github.com/jonathanslenders/python-prompt-toolkit, or even in stdlib: https://docs.python.org/3/library/cmd.html and extension: https://github.com/python-cmd2/cmd2

Installing CLI with Go:

• You wget binary - we must compile for Linux, MacOS and Win
• You intall Go and then you build yourself (it is not common that people have Go on their machines yet)

With Python:

• You already have Python (most probably)
• pip install

@nmarcetic @mijicd opinions?

from mainflux.

OK, we'll try to do it in Go. Let's see how it goes ;).

from mainflux.

Done in https://github.com/mainflux/mainflux-cli. Closing the issue.
