In Nu we have variables (E.g. $var-name) and these contain `Value` types.
This means we can bind to variables any structured data and column path syntax
(E.g. `$variable.path.to`) allows flexibility for "querying" said structures.
Here we offer completions for these. For example, in a Nushell session the
variable `$nu` contains environment values among other things. If we wanted to
see in the screen some environment variable (say the var `SHELL`) we do:
```
> echo $nu.env.SHELL
```
with completions we can now do: `echo $nu.env.S[\TAB]` and we get suggestions
that start at the column path `$nu.env` with vars starting with the letter `S`
in this case `SHELL` appears in the suggestions.
We've relied on `clap` for building our cli app bootstrapping that figures out the positionals, flags, and other convenient facilities. Nu has been capable of solving this problem for quite some time. Given this and much more reasons (including the build time caused by `clap`) we start here working with our own.
* enable theming of the command line syntax
* added missing flatshape, sorted flatshapes for easier reading.
* sorted flat shapes again and saved it this time
* added sample rwb.json syntax them file to docs
* Throw an error if path failed to expand
Previously, it just repeated the non-expanded path.
* Allow expanding non-existent paths
This commit has a strange error in examples.
* Specify span manually in examples; Add an example
* Expand relative path without requiring cwd
* Remove redundant tilde expansion
This makes the tilde expansion in relative paths dependant on "dirs"
feature.
* Add missing example result
* Adjust path expand description
* Fix import error with missing feature
Using the `*` wildcard should not attempt to delete files with a leading dot
unless the more explicit `.*` is used. `rm *` should also not attempt to delete
the current directory or its parent directory (`.` and `..`). I have resolved
this bug as well in a less satisfactory way. I think it may be the case that we
can only disambiguate the `.` and `..` path segments by using `Path::display`.
Here is a short list of alternatives that I tried:
- `Path::ends_with()` can detect `/..` but not `/.`.
- `Path::iter()` and `Path::components()` leave out `/.`.
- `Path::file_name()` normalizes `/.` to the parent component's file name.
Fixes#3508
It was too error prone when positional arguments were used with the rest
arguments. Now, you need to explicitly state from which position you
want to count the rest args (e.g., `rest(0)`).
* Convert "random bool" to engine-p
Also implements FromValue for Tagged<BigDecimal> and Tagged<f64>.
* Convert "random dice" to engine-p
* Convert "random uuid" to engine-p
* Covert "random chars" to engine-p
* Convert "random" command to engine-p
* Implement minmax for Range; Simplify range command
* Port random integer to enginep; New FromValue impl
Now, FromValue is implemented for Tagged<Range> to allow extracting args
into this type.
* Make sure range value extraction fails properly
The range endpoint extraction methods now return error instead of
silently clipping the value. This now makes `random integer ..-4` fail
properly since -4 can't be cast as u64.
* Port random decimal to enginep & Refactor
This added a way to interpret Range limits as f64 and a Primitive helper
to get its value as f64.
A side effect of this commit is that it is now possible to specify the
command bounds as true decimals. E.g., `random decimal 0.0..3.14` does
not clip 3.14 to 3.
