NAME

wrap-with-perinci-sub-wrapper - Wrap subroutine with Perinci::Sub::Wrapper

VERSION

This document describes version 0.110 of wrap-with-perinci-sub-wrapper (from Perl distribution App-PerinciUtils), released on 2017-08-09.

SYNOPSIS

Usage:

 % wrap-with-perinci-sub-wrapper [options] [meta] [args]

DESCRIPTION

This script is useful for testing Perinci::Sub::Wrapper. You specify input Rinci metadata either using --meta or using --url to get it from Riap URL.

You then can show the code generated by the wrapper using --show-code (-c).

Or, you can call the wrapped function with one or more sets of arguments, by supplying --code and one of: --args, --multiple-args, --args-file, or --multiple-args-file.

OPTIONS

* marks required options.

Action selection options

--show-meta

Don't call sub or wrap, show normalized metadata (before wrapping) only.

--show-wrap-code, -c

Don't call sub, show generated wrapper code only.

--show-wrap-meta

Don't call sub, show generated metadata after wrapping only.

Argument specification options

--args-file-type=s

Give hint for args file type.

Valid values:

 ["json","yaml"]
--args-file=filename

Retrieve args from file.

JSON and YAML formats are supported. File type will be guessed from filename, defaults to JSON.

--args-json=s

See --args.

--args=s
--multiple-args-file=filename

Retrieve multiple args from file.

This is like `args_file` except that for multiple args. Content must be an array.

--multiple-args-json=s

Call with multiple args (array of args) (JSON-encoded).

See --multiple-args.

--multiple-args=s

Call with multiple args (array of args).

Code specification options

--code=s

Specify Perl code to wrap.

Configuration options

--config-path=filename

Set path to configuration file.

Can be specified multiple times.

--config-profile=s

Set configuration profile to use.

--no-config

Do not use any configuration file.

Environment options

--no-env

Do not read environment for default options.

Meta specification options

--meta-json=s

Specify function metadata (JSON-encoded).

See --meta.

--meta=s

Specify function metadata.

--url=s

Use function metadata from Riap URL.

Output options

--args-with-result, -d

Show args alongside with call result.

The default is to show the call result only.

--format=s

Choose output format, e.g. json, text.

Default value:

 undef
--json

Set output format to json.

--linenum, -l

When showing source code (--show-wrap-code), add line numbers.

--no-naked-res

When outputing as JSON, add result envelope.

By default, when outputing as JSON, the full enveloped result is returned, e.g.:

    [200,"OK",[1,2,3],{"func.extra"=>4}]

The reason is so you can get the status (1st element), status message (2nd element) as well as result metadata/extra result (4th element) instead of just the result (3rd element). However, sometimes you want just the result, e.g. when you want to pipe the result for more post-processing. In this case you can use `--naked-res` so you just get:

    [1,2,3]

Wrapping options

--core

Whether to generate code which avoids the use of non-core modules.

--core-or-pp

Whether to generate code which avoids the use of non-core XS modules.

In other words, generated code should stick with core or pure-perl modules.

--no-validate-args
--no-validate-result
--pp

Whether to generate code which avoids the use of XS modules.

--with-debug

Generate wrapper with debug on.

This means e.g. to pepper the wrapper code with more comments.

--wrap

Other options

--help, -h, -?

Display help message and exit.

--version, -v

Display program's version and exit.

COMPLETION

This script has shell tab completion capability with support for several shells.

bash

To activate bash completion for this script, put:

 complete -C wrap-with-perinci-sub-wrapper wrap-with-perinci-sub-wrapper

in your bash startup (e.g. ~/.bashrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is recommended, however, that you install modules using cpanm-shcompgen which can activate shell completion for scripts immediately.

tcsh

To activate tcsh completion for this script, put:

 complete wrap-with-perinci-sub-wrapper 'p/*/`wrap-with-perinci-sub-wrapper`/'

in your tcsh startup (e.g. ~/.tcshrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is also recommended to install shcompgen (see above).

other shells

For fish and zsh, install shcompgen as described above.

CONFIGURATION FILE

This script can read configuration files. Configuration files are in the format of IOD, which is basically INI with some extra features.

By default, these names are searched for configuration filenames (can be changed using --config-path): ~/.config/wrap-with-perinci-sub-wrapper.conf, ~/wrap-with-perinci-sub-wrapper.conf, or /etc/wrap-with-perinci-sub-wrapper.conf.

All found files will be read and merged.

To disable searching for configuration files, pass --no-config.

You can put multiple profiles in a single file by using section names like [profile=SOMENAME] or [SOMESECTION profile=SOMENAME]. Those sections will only be read if you specify the matching --config-profile SOMENAME.

You can also put configuration for multiple programs inside a single file, and use filter program=NAME in section names, e.g. [program=NAME ...] or [SOMESECTION program=NAME]. The section will then only be used when the reading program matches.

Finally, you can filter a section by environment variable using the filter env=CONDITION in section names. For example if you only want a section to be read if a certain environment variable is true: [env=SOMEVAR ...] or [SOMESECTION env=SOMEVAR ...]. If you only want a section to be read when the value of an environment variable has value equals something: [env=HOSTNAME=blink ...] or [SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME=blink ...]. If you only want a section to be read when the value of an environment variable does not equal something: [env=HOSTNAME!=blink ...] or [SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME!=blink ...]. If you only want a section to be read when an environment variable contains something: [env=HOSTNAME*=server ...] or [SOMESECTION env=HOSTNAME*=server ...]. Note that currently due to simplistic parsing, there must not be any whitespace in the value being compared because it marks the beginning of a new section filter or section name.
