Class Method Details

.applescript(script) ⇒ Object

Execute apple script.

# File 'lib/commander/user_interaction.rb', line 123

def applescript script
  `osascript -e "#{ script.gsub('"', '\"') }"`
end

.ask_editor(input = nil, editor = ENV['EDITOR'] || 'mate') ⇒ Object

Prompt editor for input. Optionally supply initial input which is written to the editor.

The editor defaults to the EDITOR environment variable when present, or ‘mate’ for TextMate.

Examples

ask_editor                # => prompts EDITOR with no input
ask_editor('foo')         # => prompts EDITOR with default text of 'foo'
ask_editor('foo', :mate)  # => prompts TextMate with default text of 'foo'

def ask_editor input = nil, editor = ENV['EDITOR'] || 'mate'
  IO.popen(editor.to_s, 'w+') do |pipe|
    pipe.puts input.to_s unless input.nil?
    pipe.close_write
    pipe.read
  end
end

.choose(message, *choices) ⇒ Object

Choose from a set array of choices.

# File 'lib/commander/user_interaction.rb', line 41

def choose message, *choices
  say message
  super *choices
end

.converse(prompt, responses = {}) ⇒ Object

Converse with speech recognition.

Currently a “poorman’s” DSL to utilize applescript and the MacOS speech recognition server.

Examples

case converse 'What is the best food?', :cookies => 'Cookies', :unknown => 'Nothing'
when :cookies 
  speak 'o.m.g. you are awesome!'
else
  case converse 'That is lame, shall I convince you cookies are the best?', :yes => 'Ok', :no => 'No', :maybe => 'Maybe another time'
  when :yes
    speak 'Well you see, cookies are just fantastic.'
  else
    speak 'Ok then, bye.'
  end
end

def enable_paging
  return unless $stdout.tty?
  read, write = IO.pipe

  if Kernel.fork
    $stdin.reopen read
    read.close; write.close
    Kernel.select [$stdin]
    ENV['LESS'] = 'FSRX'
    pager = ENV['PAGER'] || 'less'
    exec pager rescue exec '/bin/sh', '-c', pager
  else
    $stdout.reopen write
    $stderr.reopen write if $stderr.tty?
    read.close; write.close
    return
  end
end

.io(input = nil, output = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Normalize IO streams, allowing for redirection of input and/or output, for example:

$ foo              # => read from terminal I/O
$ foo in           # => read from 'in' file, output to terminal output stream
$ foo in out       # => read from 'in' file, output to 'out' file
$ foo < in > out   # => equivalent to above (essentially)

Optionally a block may be supplied, in which case IO will be reset once the block has executed.

Examples

command :foo do |c|
  c.syntax = 'foo [input] [output]'
  c.when_called do |args, options|
    # or io(args.shift, args.shift)
    io *args
    str = $stdin.gets
    puts 'input was: ' + str.inspect
  end

  $stdin = File.new(input) if input
  $stdout = File.new(output, 'r+') if output
  if block
    yield
    reset_io
  end
end

.log(action, *args) ⇒ Object

‘Log’ an action to the terminal. This is typically used for verbose output regarding actions performed. For example:

create  path/to/file.rb
remove  path/to/old_file.rb
remove  path/to/old_file2.rb

# File 'lib/commander/user_interaction.rb', line 55

def log action, *args
  say '%15s  %s' % [action, args.join(' ')]
end

.password(message = 'Password: ', mask = '*') ⇒ Object

Ask the user for a password. Specify a custom message other than ‘Password: ’ or override the default mask of ‘*’.

def password message = 'Password: ', mask = '*'
  pass = ask(message) { |q| q.echo = mask }
  pass = password message, mask if pass.nil? || pass.empty?
  pass
end

.progress(arr, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Output progress while iterating arr.

Examples

uris = %w( http://vision-media.ca http://google.com )
progress uris, :format => "Remaining: :time_remaining" do |uri|
  res = open uri
end

  bar = ProgressBar.new arr.length, options
  arr.each { |v| bar.increment yield(v) }
end

end

.speak(message, voice = :Alex) ⇒ Object

Speak message using voice which defaults to ‘Alex’, which is one of the better voices.

food = ask 'favorite food?: '
speak "wow, I like #{food} too. We have so much alike."
