SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the process of creating command-line interfaces (CLIs) for Clojure functions, making it easier to build tools and automate tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Function to CLI Conversion: Effortlessly transform Clojure functions into executable command-line tools.
  • Argument Parsing: Handles both short (--foo) and long (:foo) argument styles, with automatic type coercion and validation.
  • Subcommand Support: Enables the creation of complex CLIs with nested commands.
  • Use Case: You have a Clojure function that processes data; use this Skill to expose it as a CLI tool that accepts input files and configuration options.

Quick Start

Use the clojure-babashka-cli skill to parse command-line arguments for a Clojure function named 'process-data' that expects a '--input-file' argument.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn Clojure functions into command-line interfaces?▼

Babashka.cli transforms Clojure functions into command-line interfaces by parsing arguments, coercing types, validating inputs, and dispatching subcommands for user-friendly CLI applications.

What is the best way to parse command-line arguments in a Babashka script?▼

Babashka.cli parses command-line arguments in Babashka scripts by handling short and long argument styles, applying automatic type coercion, and executing validation rules.

Can I create CLIs with subcommands using Clojure and Babashka?▼

You can build nested CLIs with subcommands in Clojure and Babashka because babashka.cli provides subcommand dispatching for complex command-line application structures.

Does babashka.cli support type coercion and validation for CLI arguments?▼

Babashka.cli supports argument type coercion and validation, automatically converting input values to expected types and enforcing rules to ensure valid command-line inputs.

How do I expose a data processing Clojure function as a CLI tool?▼

You expose a Clojure function as a CLI tool by using babashka.cli to map command-line arguments like input file flags directly to the function's execution parameters.
