To use the component package, import it into your Go program as follows:
import "github.com/vmware-tanzu/tanzu-plugin-runtime/component"AskForConfirmation is a function that prompts the user to confirm or deny a choice with a message and returns an error if the response is not affirmative.
package main
import (
"github.com/pkg/errors"
"github.com/vmware-tanzu/tanzu-plugin-runtime/component"
)
func main() {
err := AskForConfirmation("Are you sure you want to delete this file?")
if err != nil {
return errors.Wrap(err, "failed to delete file")
}
// continue with file deletion
}The function takes a message string as its argument and returns an error if the user's response is not affirmative (i.e., "y" or "Y"). If the response is affirmative, AskForConfirmation returns nil, and the program can continue executing.
If an error occurs during the function's execution, it will return a new error wrapped with the github.com/pkg/errors package.
Colorable-TTY is a Golang package that provides utilities for creating colorized and formatted console output. This package uses the logrusorgru/aurora package to generate the colorized output. It also includes several functions for formatting strings such as Rpad, Underline, Bold, TrimRightSpace, and BeginsWith.
Then, you can use the functions provided by this package. For example:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/vmware-tanzu/tanzu-plugin-runtime/component"
)
func main() {
fmt.Println(component.Underline("This text is underlined!"))
fmt.Println(component.Bold("This text is bold!"))
fmt.Println(component.Rpad("Right padded text", 20))
fmt.Println(component.TrimRightSpace("Trim the whitespace at the end "))
fmt.Println(component.BeginsWith("This is a test", "This"))
}This package provides a way to write output to different formats. It defines the OutputWriter interface which consists of SetKeys, AddRow, and Render methods.
func NewOutputWriter(output io.Writer, outputFormat string, headers ...string) OutputWriter
func NewObjectWriter(output io.Writer, outputFormat string, data interface{}) OutputWriterNewOutputWriterreturns a new instance ofOutputWriterand it accepts anio.Writer, anoutputFormat(one ofTableOutputType,YAMLOutputType,JSONOutputType,ListTableOutputType), and a variadic list of headers for the table.NewObjectWriteris the same asNewOutputWriterbut it is used for writing objects instead of tables. It accepts anio.Writer, anoutputFormat(one ofYAMLOutputType,JSONOutputType), and an object that should be written.
func (ow *outputwriter) SetKeys(headerKeys ...string)
func (obw *objectwriter) SetKeys(headerKeys ...string)SetKeys sets the values to use as the keys for the output values. It accepts a variadic list of strings.
func (ow *outputwriter) AddRow(items ...interface{})
func (obw *objectwriter) AddRow(items ...interface{})AddRow appends a new row to our table. It accepts a variadic list of items. It is required to add items in the same order as the headers were provided.
func (ow *outputwriter) Render()
func (obw *objectwriter) Render()Render emits the generated output to the output stream.
If NewOutputWriter was used for initialization, Render will generate output in the format specified by the outputFormat parameter.
If NewObjectWriter was used for initialization, Render will generate output in the format specified by the outputFormat parameter, and it will use the provided object for output.
const (
TableOutputType OutputType = "table"
YAMLOutputType OutputType = "yaml"
JSONOutputType OutputType = "json"
ListTableOutputType OutputType = "listtable"
)TableOutputTypespecifies that the output should be in table format.YAMLOutputTypespecifies that the output should be in yaml format.JSONOutputTypespecifies that the output should be in json format.ListTableOutputTypespecifies that the output should be in a list table format.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"github.com/vmware-tanzu/tanzu-plugin-runtime/component"
)
func main() {
// Example usage of NewOutputWriter
writer := output.NewOutputWriter(os.Stdout, output.TableOutputType, "Name", "Age")
writer.AddRow("John", 30)
writer.AddRow("Bob", 45)
writer.Render()
// Example usage of NewObjectWriter
data := map[string]interface{}{
"Name": "John",
"Age": 30,
}
writer = output.NewObjectWriter(os.Stdout, output.JSONOutputType, data)
writer.Render()
}This will output:
+------+-----+
| Name | Age |
+------+-----+
| John | 30 |
| Bob | 45 |
+------+-----+
{"Age":30,"Name":"John"}OutputWriterSpinner is a Go package that provides an interface to OutputWriter augmented with a spinner. It allows for rendering output with a spinner while also providing the ability to stop the spinner and render the final output.
To use OutputWriterSpinner, you can import the package in your Go code and create an instance of the OutputWriterSpinner interface using the NewOutputWriterWithSpinner function.
import "github.com/vmware-tanzu/tanzu-plugin-runtime/component"
// create new OutputWriterSpinner
outputWriterSpinner, err := component.NewOutputWriterWithSpinner(os.Stdout, "json", "Loading...", true)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error creating OutputWriterSpinner:", err)
return
}
// Render output with spinner
outputWriterSpinner.RenderWithSpinner()
// Stop spinner and render final output
outputWriterSpinner.StopSpinner()The NewOutputWriterWithSpinner function takes in the following parameters:
output io.Writer: The output writer for the spinner and final output.outputFormat string: The output format for the final output. It can be either "json" or "yaml".spinnerText string: The text to display next to the spinner.startSpinner bool: Whether to start the spinner immediately or not.headers ...string: Optional headers for the final output.
The created OutputWriterSpinner instance provides two methods:
RenderWithSpinner(): Renders the output with a spinner.StopSpinner(): Stops the spinner and renders the final output.
This is a Go package that provides a way to prompt the user for input in a CLI application.
It utilizes the AlecAivazis/survey/v2 package to display a prompt to the user and capture their response.
Create a PromptConfig object to specify the prompt's message, options, default value, and help text. Then call the Run method with a pointer to a variable of the desired type to store the user's response.
var response string
p := &PromptConfig{
Message: "Enter a value:",
Default: "default value",
Help: "Enter the value you would like to use.",
}
err := p.Run(&response)
if err != nil {
// Handle error
}
fmt.Println("You entered:", response)The PromptConfig struct also provides the Sensitive option to hide user input, and the Options field to provide a list of choices for the user to select from.
var response string
p := &PromptConfig{
Message: "Enter your password:",
Sensitive: true,
}
err := p.Run(&response)
if err != nil {
// Handle error
}
fmt.Println("Your password is:", response)
p = &PromptConfig{
Message: "Select an option:",
Options: []string{"Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"},
}
err = p.Run(&response)
if err != nil {
// Handle error
}
fmt.Println("You selected:", response)package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/vmware-tanzu/tanzu-plugin-runtime/component"
)
func main() {
var response string
p := &prompt.PromptConfig{
Message: "Enter your name:",
Default: "John Doe",
Help: "Enter your full name.",
}
err := p.Run(&response)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
return
}
fmt.Println("Hello,", response)
}The question.go file provides a Go package component that implements prompting a CLI question and reading user response.
To prompt the user with a question, you can create a QuestionConfig object with the message to display and then call Run() method with a response object. For example:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/vmware-tanzu/tanzu-plugin-runtime/component"
)
func main() {
q := component.QuestionConfig{
Message: "What is your name?",
}
var name string
err := q.Run(&name)
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
fmt.Printf("Hello, %s!\n", name)
}The response object should be a pointer to a variable where the user's response will be stored.
This will display a prompt asking the user for their favorite color, with a default value of "blue" and a help message indicating the purpose of the question.
The reader.go file provides a Go package component that implements reading input from a file or standard input (stdin).
To read input from a file, call ReadInput and pass the file path:
import "github.com/vmware-tanzu/tanzu-plugin-runtime/component"
func main() {
filePath := "/path/to/file.txt"
data, err := component.ReadInput(filePath)
if err != nil {
// Handle error
}
// Do something with the input data
fmt.Println(string(data))
}To read input from stdin, pass the - character as the file path to ReadInput:
import "github.com/vmware-tanzu/tanzu-plugin-runtime/component"
func main() {
data, err := component.ReadInput("-")
if err != nil {
// Handle error
}
// Do something with the input data
fmt.Println(string(data))
}The select.go file provides a Go package component that implements a prompt for selecting an option. The package uses the survey library for prompting.
To prompt the user to select an option, create a SelectConfig object and pass it to the Select function:
import "github.com/vmware-tanzu/tanzu-plugin-runtime/component"
func main() {
options := []string{"Option A", "Option B", "Option C"}
config := &component.SelectConfig{
Message: "Please select an option:",
Default: "Option A",
Options: options,
Help: "Use arrow keys to move up and down, press Enter to select",
}
var response string
err := component.Select(config, &response)
if err != nil {
// Handle error
}
// Do something with the selected option
fmt.Println(response)
}
