spring-starter-terminal's Introduction

Spring Starter Terminal

Simple script that uses dialog as a terminal UI for creating new Spring application using the Spring Starter / Spring Initializer service. A little quick and dirty, and the UI has major room for improvement relating to sizes. You can create a project, and it will unpack in the folder you are running the script from (useful to have in PATH if you dare ;) ).

Dependencies

bash (or equivalent, also tested with zsh)
Standard Unix tools (sed, curl)
dialog
jq

Container image

If you prefer to use the script from a container, it is available on Docker hub and is called themkat/spring-starter. You can also build it yourself from this repo using the included Dockerfile using docker build -t themkat/spring-starter ..

spring-starter-terminal's Issues

Implement a simple dependency search

Now you have to navigate the dependencies with the arrow keys (and navigating using the first letter of the dependency), but being able to search the list would improve user friendliness.

Find a way to show dependency descriptions

Currently, only the name of the dependency is rendered. It would improve usability if we could show descriptions somewhere

Document usage better

Some of the usage of the dialog menus can be a little weird for people not used to them (e.g, having to navigate arrow keys to the rename button and then click enter etc.). Should we document that better? Maybe some minor notes in the readme can help?

Maybe a screenshot or two can also be useful? This will be slightly different depending on your terminals color scheme. Maybe it could be fun to show in the readme or another markdown document to show them?
