ParseArger

HTML Forms

Because sometimes you have to give your powerful CLI tool to people who are afraid of the terminal. This command generates an HTML file with a form that maps to your arguments.

Usage

>
parseArger html-form ./script.sh --out ./form.html

The first argument is the file to process.

Configuration

  • --command: The command string to execute (defaults to filename).
    parseArger html-form ./script.sh --command "my-script-alias"
  • --action: Form action URL (default is empty).
    parseArger html-form ./script.sh --action "/submit"
  • --parent-form: ID of the parent form for nested command structures.
  • --form / --no-form: ID of the generated form (or disable form generation).

Styling (Classes)

The generator uses Bootstrap classes by default, but you can override them.

  • --form-class: Form HTML class.
  • --input-container-class: Input container class (default: form-group).
  • --input-class: Input class (default: form-control).
  • --label-class: Label class (default: form-label).
  • --select-class: Select class (default: form-select).
  • --checkbox-container-class / --radio-container-class: Container for checkboxes/radios (default: form-check).
  • --checkbox-class / --radio-class: Checkbox/radio input class (default: form-check-input).
  • --checkbox-label-class / --radio-label-class: Checkbox/radio label class (default: form-check-label).

Features

  • --button / --no-button: Display (or hide) the submit button (default: on).
  • --js / --no-js: Create (or skip) the JavaScript for command building (default: on). Note: --no-js forces --no-result.
  • --result / --no-result: Display (or hide) the result container (default: on).
