Welcome to CLI for Advent of Code 2021!

This small project points towards making command line interface with python, where you can use python, bash and user-made functions, with the scope of helping during the AoC

It features live output, autocomplete and command history management

Info:

Dependencies:

• python3
• getch (for MacOs and Linux)
• msvcrt (for Windows)

Platform:

Setup:

Terminal and Powershell

  git clone git@github.com:XEDGit/aoc_CLI.git
  cd aoc_CLI/
  python3 aoc_cli.py
  getday 6

Now fill the cookie.txt new created file with your session id from advent of code website and run

  getday 6
  parseday 6 int ,
  day 6

There's the solution!

Custom functions

So I guess you're now thinking what kind of functions are in there, and as you can imagine there's functions for downloading, parsing and solving the daily challenges!

Here's a list:

Functions:

- help : gives list of available functions
- clear : clear console history
- group : used to regroup src in various ways
- parseday : used to parse a input file which is created by getday to a local variable
- findsum : 2020 day 1 solve
- find_increase : day 1 solve 
- find_arrive : day 2 solve
- count_commons : day 3 part 1 solve
- filter_commons : day 3 part 2 solve
- parse_bingo : parse "src" as bingo boards, use before solve_bingo
- solve_bingo : day 4 part 1 solve, use after parse_bingo
- solve_last_bingo : day 4 part 2 solve
- map_coordinates : day 5 solve
- evolve_fishes : day 6 solve
- align_crabs : day 7 solve
- decode_clock : day 8 solve
- map_smoke_flows : day 9 solve
- validate_navigation : day 10 solve
- light_octopuses : day 11 solve

Day shortcuts:

- 2020 day 1 
- day 1
- day 2
- day 3 1
- day 3 2
- day 4 1
- day 4 2
- day 5
- day 6
- day 7
- day 8
- day 9
- day 10
- day 11

Bash command:

- getday <day>: downloads a day's input from adventofcode.com
- rm <path>: removes a file
- cat <path>: shows content of a text file located into /inputs folder
- foo : you should't try it

remember the file path on Windows uses '\', in UNIX with '/'

If instead you need help with the command usage, try typing the command itself, the CLI will provide you with arguments explaination

Features

Live output:

The CLI will execute the command you're typing in a sandbox enviroment everytime you press a charachter on your keyboard, when you press Enter the modifications you see wil be executed

Command history:

To navigate your command history use the keys '`' for moving back and '~' for forward, at startup history will be populated with enviromental variables

Autocomplete:

To use autocomplete simply type part of the desired command, and then click 'TAB', click repeatedly to navigate

Enviromental variables:

As most of the CLIs it uses enviromental variables, to set them simply write <ENV_VAR> = into the CLI

Enviromental variables(Default value):

• OUT_LEN(150): length of output before being truncated
