README

This project uses dflydev/dot-access-data to provide simple output filtering for applications built with annotated-command / Robo.

Overview

This project provides a simple logic expression evaluator which can be used in conjunction with dflydev/dot-access-data to filter out results of the sort that you might return as a RowsOfFields object, or a nested yaml/json array.

API

To use this filter in your annotated-commands-aware application (see g1a/starter), ensure that the filter hooks are registered with

$commandClasses = [ 
    \Consolidation\Filter\Hooks\FilterHooks::class,   // Filter hooks
    \MyApp\Commands\MyCommands::class,                // Commandfiles for your application
];
$runner = new \Robo\Runner($commandClasses);

Then, any command that returns RowsOfFields data (see consolidation/output-formatters) or an array may utilize the output filter feature simply by annotating its command method with @filter-output.

    /**
     * Convert a command from one format to another, potentially with filtering.
     *
     * @command example
     * @filter-output
     * @return array
     */
    public function example(array $parameters, $options = ['format' => 'yaml'])
    {
        return $this->doSomething($parameters);
    }

Annotating a command in this way will automaitically attach a --filter[=FILTER] option to the command. The output of the command may then be filtered by providing a simple expression:

$ mycmd example p1 p2 --filter='color=red'

A contains comparison may be done via the *= operator:

$ mycmd example p1 p2 --filter='color*=red'

And, finally, regex compares are also available via ~=:

$ mycmd example p1 p2 --filter='color~=#^red.*#'

The filter decides whether to include or exclude each top-level element based on the result of evaluating the provided expression on each element.

Nested data elements may be tested, e.g. via attributes.color=red
Simple boolean logic may be used, e.g. color=red&&shape=round

Parenthesis are not supported.
