TARS is a Clojure framework, that provides a command-line interface for your applications and allows your users to interact through it (like mongo, mysql clients). TARS already understands a few commands like "help" and "quit". You only need to extend it to make TARS understand your custom commands specific to your clients.

How to use

To add the CLI into your application just add the dependency and the define the main function.

(defproject your-app "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.5.1"]
                 [io.moo/tars "0.1.4"]]
  :main io.moo.tars.container)

After you run your application by calling:

lein run

the CLI will be available for user interaction with a default MOTD and prompt. You can override this settings and customize them in your applications.

        .
       _|_
/\/\  (. .)
`||'   |#|
 ||__.-"-"-.___
 `---| . . |--.\     TARS version 0.1.0 [ Type 'help' to get help! ]
     | : : |  |_|    https://github.com/mooito/tars
     `..-..' ( I )
      || ||   | |
      || ||   |_|
     |__|__|  (.)
tars>

Out of the box, TARS provide two commands, that are "help" and "quit". You can now extend the TARS to understand your commands.

How to customize

You can override the MOTD by creating a new branding file under "~/.tars/branding" and also the prompt by adding a configuration file in "~/.tars/config.clj". The configuration file will be loaded while the CLI starts. To override the prompt settings, just add a new definition for the prompt:

(def config {:prompt "tars"})

How to extend

To add your own commands you can use the TARS DSL:

(ns test-prj.core
  (:gen-class)
  (:require [io.moo.tars.container :as c])
  (:use io.moo.tars.dsl))

;; add a new command called "test"
(add-command "test"
 (on-start (println "starting"))
 (on-exec  (println "exec"))
 (on-complete (println "complete"))
 (on-error (println "error"))
 (with-doc "Command Description"))

(defn -main [ & args ]
    (c/start-repl))
