A command for simplifying node testing #1019
Description
When we build a new dora node, the natural step is to test whether it's working or not. To test the node, right now, we will need to:
- create a dataflow which include a terminal-input node and the newly created node.
- open two terminals, one to run the dataflow and the other for terminal-input to check the input and output of the dataflow.
We wonder that if this can be simplified by having some command like: dora run-node [nodename] or something like that. Input needed by the node could be given through a json file, output can be printed directly on the screen or to some output files.
In this way, we don't have to create dataflow YML; also, we don't have to have two terminals up for testing.
We believe that it will help significantly productivity, especially when developers want to try out many different nodes.
Thank you!
