omnicli (sdk-ruby)

Ruby SDK for building Omni commands.

omnicli is a Ruby gem that provides functionality to help build commands that will be executed by Omni. It offers various utilities and helpers that make it easier to work with Omni's features from within Ruby.

gem install omnicli

Or add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'omnicli'

And then execute:

bundle install

The SDK can read omni-parsed arguments from environment variables into a familiar Ruby Hash format:

require 'omnicli'

begin
  args = OmniCli.parse!
  # Access your command's arguments as hash keys
  if args[:verbose]
    puts "Verbose mode enabled"
  end
  if args[:input_file]
    puts "Processing file: #{args[:input_file]}"
  end
rescue OmniCli::ArgListMissingError
  puts "No Omni CLI arguments found. Make sure 'argparser: true' is set for your command."
end

The arguments are returned as a Hash with symbol keys, with their values in the expected types (strings, integers, floats, booleans or arrays of these types).

The argument parser of omni needs to be enabled for your command. This can be done as part of the metadata of your command, which can either be provided as a separate file:

your-repo
└── commands
    ├── your-command.rb
    └── your-command.metadata.yaml

# your-command.metadata.yaml
argparser: true

Or as part of your Ruby command headers:

# your-command.rb
#
# argparser: true
require 'omnicli'
...
