Documentation Overview of Python Scripts

Introduction

This documentation provides an overview of five key Python scripts (app.py, commands.py, api.py, gui.py, and store.py) that form the backbone of the 'Pieces CLI Tool'. This tool is designed to offer a comprehensive command-line interface for asset and model management.

app.py - The Command Line Interface Core

Purpose: Serves as the entry point for the CLI, handling user inputs and command execution.

Main Features:

  • Command Parsing: Utilizes argparse to define and parse a range of commands.
  • Subcommand Management: Each CLI command (like list, open, delete) is managed through subparsers, linked to specific functionalities.
  • Dynamic Response: Adjusts its behavior based on the server's status, which it checks using check_api.
  • User Interaction: Provides feedback and guidance to the user based on the input commands and server responses.

commands.py - The Functional Hub

Purpose: Acts as a repository of functions that app.py calls in response to various commands.

Key Aspects:

  • Diverse Command Functions: Hosts a suite of functions like ask, search, and edit_asset, each aligning with a CLI command.
  • WebSocket Management: Manages real-time interactions and data flow through WebSocket connections for local and online apis.
  • Asset and Model Operations: Facilitates operations like listing, editing, and deleting assets and models.
  • Interactive CLI Loop: Maintains an interactive command loop, enhancing the user experience.

api.py - The API Interaction Layer

Purpose: Manages all interactions with the external API, serving as the communication layer between the CLI tool and server.

Core Functions:

  • API Client Configuration: Sets up and configures the openapi_client for API interactions.
  • WebSocket Operations: Through WebSocketManager, it handles WebSocket connections for dynamic data exchange.
  • Model and Asset API Calls: Includes a variety of functions to perform API actions related to models and assets.
  • Platform and API Health Checks: Determines the operating system category and checks the health and version of the API to make sure the server is running.

gui.py - The User Interface Module

Purpose: Provides user interface functionalities for the CLI tool, handling all the print statements and user interaction interfaces.

Main Features:

  • User Feedback: Functions like welcome, line, double_line, double_space, and space_below for displaying formatted text and separators to enhance user readability.
  • Dynamic Messages: print_response and print_asset_details allow for dynamic output based on user actions and search results.
  • User Guidance: Includes print_instructions and print_help to guide users through the command usage and options available.
  • Specialized Displays: Functions like print_model_details, delete_most_recent, and no_assets_in_memory provide context-specific outputs for certain operations.

store.py - The Data Persistence Layer

Purpose: Manages the storage and retrieval of application data using SQLite database as a caching strategy.

Database Interaction:

  • Connection Management: create_connection establishes a connection to the SQLite database.
  • Table Management: create_table ensures the necessary table structure is in place for storing application data.
  • Data Insertion and Retrieval: Functions insert_application and get_application handle the insertion and querying of application data, respectively.

Conclusion

Each script plays a crucial role in the functionality of the 'Pieces CLI Tool'. `app.py
