![]() This PR changes the argument parsing and matching to use Clap instead of our own handrolled one. This makes it much easier to add new commands and modify existing ones by using the full power of clap's derive macros. It also produces nice error and help messages for us. However, there is a bug in Clap that is not correctly modifying the `display name` in the help section. So the command would appear as `show` instead of `.show` in the help messages. This is very minimal, but if this is a blocker for this PR we can just overwrite the help message in its entirety. Also using Clap would enable us to use its autocomplete crate to generate autocompletions for these special repl commands which would be a huge win when compared to the `sqlite3` cli. This is the current help message: ```sh Limbo SQL Shell Help ============== Welcome to the Limbo SQL Shell! You can execute any standard SQL command here. In addition to standard SQL commands, the following special commands are available: Usage: <COMMAND> Commands: exit Exit this program with return-code CODE quit Quit the shell open Open a database file schema Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) Display schema for a table output Set output file (or stdout if empty) mode Set output display mode opcodes Show vdbe opcodes cd Change the current working directory show Display information about settings nullvalue Set the value of NULL to be printed in 'list' mode echo Toggle 'echo' mode to repeat commands before execution tables Display tables import Import data from FILE into TABLE load Loads an extension library dump Dump the current database as a list of SQL statements listvfs List vfs modules available help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) Usage Examples: --------------- 1. To quit the Limbo SQL Shell: .quit 2. To open a database file at path './employees.db': .open employees.db 3. To view the schema of a table named 'employees': .schema employees 4. To list all tables: .tables 5. To list all available SQL opcodes: .opcodes 6. To change the current output mode to 'pretty': .mode pretty 7. Send output to STDOUT if no file is specified: .output 8. To change the current working directory to '/tmp': .cd /tmp 9. Show the current values of settings: .show 10. To import csv file 'sample.csv' into 'csv_table' table: .import --csv sample.csv csv_table 11. To display the database contents as SQL: .dump 12. To load an extension library: .load /target/debug/liblimbo_regexp 13. To list all available VFS: .listvfs Note: - All SQL commands must end with a semicolon (;). - Special commands start with a dot (.) and are not required to end with a semicolon. ``` If we need more information on a specific command, we can leverage CLAP and do for instance: ```sh .open -h ``` Reviewed-by: Pere Diaz Bou <pere-altea@homail.com> Closes #1110 |
