### I. Commands
2018-11-06 16:17:39 +00:00
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
Your whole setup remains in 1 only build file. Each line contains one instruction, the list of instructions is listed below.
#### 1) Comments
Each line beginning with one of the following characters : `[`, `#` or `;` is considered a comment and is not interpreted.
#### 2) package management
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
These instructions allow you to interact with the package system available on your system.
```
install <packages>
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
```
Install the listed packages. If more than one, use spaces to separate package names.
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
```
delete <packages>
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
```
Remove the listed packages. If more than one, use spaces to separate package names.
#### 3) setup configuration
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
This instruction allow you to set fields of configuration files without the need of an editor and in a developer-readable manner.
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
```
set <expr> <content>
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
```
2018-11-06 16:17:39 +00:00
Update a configuration file where \<expr\> is a dot-separated human-readable [path expression](#ii-path-expressions) and \<content\> is a string or a file. If a string is given, it will <u>override/add the field</u> ; if a file is given the configuration file will be <u>replaced</u> by it.
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
#### 4) service management
These instructions allow you to interact with the service system (_cf. [systemd](https://github.com/systemd/systemd)_).
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
```
service [enable|start|stop|restart|reload] <services>
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
```
Perform the action on services. If more than one, use spaces to separate service names.
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
2018-11-06 16:17:39 +00:00
#### 5) aliases
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
The file format allows you to create aliases to file paths for more readability in the [path expression](#ii-path-expressions) or with the [`run` command](#6-custom-scripts).
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
```
alias name /path/to.file
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
```
Create the alias `name` which resolves to the path `/path/to.file`.
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
#### 6) custom scripts
2018-11-06 16:17:39 +00:00
These instructions allow you to use custom scripts for complex operations.
```
run <script>
```
Execute the executable located at the path \<script\>. If script is an [alias](#5-aliases) it will resolve to its path

### II. Path Expressions
The syntax is pretty fast-forward, it uses 2 levels (file, fields) to find your configuration line : `location_or_alias@fields`.
2018-11-06 13:01:05 +00:00
| Field | Description | Example |
2018-11-06 16:17:39 +00:00
| --------- | :----------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `location_or_alias` | Path to the configuration file to edit. The file will be created if not found. If the path is an [alias](#5-aliases) created before in the file, it will resolve to the alias value as a filename. | `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`, `some-alias` |
| `fields` | Dot-separated chain of strings that match a configuration field. If the field does not point to a raw field but an existing field container, the \<value\> will replace the group with a text value. | `AllowGroups`, `http.gzip` |
> The `fields` is processed only for known file formats listed in this [section](#file-formats).

2018-11-07 10:56:53 +00:00
#### File Formats
Configuration files can be written according to some standards or application-specific syntax. This tool uses standard and third-party to parse the following formats :
- [xml](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Markup_Language) and [json](https://json.org/) are read/written using the go standard library (_cf. [json](https://golang.org/pkg/encoding/json/), [xml](https://golang.org/pkg/encoding/xml/)_).
> xml is not yet supported ; complex structure the library outputs (attributes vs. content) to understand better
2018-11-11 18:10:11 +00:00
- [yaml](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML) with [go-yaml/yaml](https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml).
- [ini](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file) with [go-ini/ini](https://github.com/go-ini/ini).
2018-11-11 18:10:11 +00:00
2018-11-12 18:40:57 +00:00
- [nginx configurations](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/basic-functionality/managing-configuration-files/) with [my own library](https://godoc.org/git.xdrm.io/go/nix-amer/internal/cnf/parser/nginx).
2018-11-07 10:56:53 +00:00
- _and more to come..._
