Imperative CLI Framework

Imperative CLI Framework is a command processing system that lets you quickly build customized command-line interfaces. Focus on adding functionality for your users rather than creating CLI infrastructure. We provide you with all the tools to get started building your own CLI plug-ins.

Software Requirements

Install Node.js package manager on your computer. Node.js® is a JavaScript runtime environment on which we architected Imperative CLI Framework.
You must have a means to execute ".sh" (bash) scripts to run integration tests. On Windows, you can install "Git Bash", which is bundled with the standard Git installation - (choose the "Use Git and Unix Tools from Windows Command Prompt" installation option). When you run the integration tests on Windows, you must have Administrative authority to enable the integration tests to create symbolic links.

Note: Broadcom Inc. does not maintain the prerequisite software that Imperative CLI Framework requires. You are responsible for updating Node.js and other prerequisites on your computer. We recommend that you update Node.js regularly to the latest Long Term Support (LTS) version.

Install Imperative as a Dependency

Issue the following commands to install Imperative CLI Framework as a dependency.

Install @latest version:

Be aware that if you update via @latest, you accept breaking changes into your project.
```
npm install @zowe/imperative
```
Install @zowe-v2-lts version:

This is a Long Term Support release that is guaranteed to have no breaking changes.
```
npm install @zowe/imperative@zowe-v2-lts
```

Note: If you want to install the bleeding edge version of Imperative, you can append --@zowe:registry=https://zowe.jfrog.io/zowe/api/npm/npm-release/ to the install command to get it from a staging registry. It is not recommended to use this registry for production dependencies.

Build and Install Imperative CLI Framework from Source

To build and install the Imperative CLI Framework, follow these steps:

Clone the zowe/imperative project to your PC.
From the command line, issue cd [relative path]/imperative
Issue npm install
Issue npm run build
Issue npm run test

To build the entire project (including test stand-alone CLIs): npm run build

To build only imperative source: npm run build:packages

Run Tests

Command	Description
`npm run test`	Run all automated tests (unit & integration)
`npm test:unit`	Run unit tests
`npm test:integration`	Run integration tests
`npm test:system`	Run system tests (requires IPv6 connection)

Note: To build and install the test CLIs used by the integration tests:

node scripts/sampleCliTool.js build
node scripts/sampleCliTool.js install

Sample Applications

We provide a sample plug-in that you can use to get started developing your own plug-ins. See the Zowe CLI Sample Plug-in.

Documentation

We provide documentation that describes how to define commands, work with user profiles, and more! For more information, see the Imperative CLI Framework wiki.

Type aliases

AUTH_TYPE_CHOICES

type that specifies the choice of authentication types

CLIENT_PROPERTY

String type definition for properties of abstractRestClient that has a getter set. This can be safely used in a getter call as a variable for the abstractRestClient object.

export

COMMAND_RESPONSE_FORMAT

COMMAND_RESPONSE_FORMAT: "json" | "default"

The command response format type definition - currently only JSON or default (stdout/stderr) are supported.

export

CommandOptionType

The type of value that should be specified for an option by the user. "array": an array of space delimited strings "boolean": a switch - the user specifies: true "--option-name" or false: "--option-name false" "count" : accepting only whole numbers as input value "existingLocalFile": a file for which fs.existsSync returns true "json": a parseable JSON string "number" : accepting integers as input value "string" : string input that does not allow "" as a valid input value "stringOrEmpty" : allow string to be empty when defined

CommandSegment

CommandSegment: "group" | "command"

The command segment represents the "level" you are at in the command (for help generation)

ContentEncoding

ContentEncoding: typeof CONTENT_ENCODING_TYPES[number]

HTTP_PROTOCOL_CHOICES

HTTP_PROTOCOL_CHOICES: typeof HTTP_PROTOCOL | typeof HTTPS_PROTOCOL

type that specifies the choice of protocols

IAddProfTypeResult

IAddProfTypeResult: { info: string; success: boolean }

Type declaration

info: string
success: boolean

ICommandHandlerConstructor

ICommandHandlerConstructor: {}

This type is here so that we can indicate an object from a require can be instantiated.

Type declaration

ICommandNodeType

ICommandNodeType: "group" | "command"

Command Segment type - either "group" or "command".

"group" implies no handler and should have children. Use groups to logically arrange portions of your CLI. "command" implies there is a handler and may or may not have children.

IConfigSecure

IConfigSecure: {}

Type declaration

[path: string]: IConfigSecureProperties

IConfigSecureProperties

IConfigSecureProperties: {}

Type declaration

[key: string]: any

IConstructor

IConstructor<T>: {}

An type that defines a class constructor

Type parameters

Type declaration

ICredentialManagerConstructor

ICredentialManagerConstructor: {}

This interface defines the constructor for a credential manager. This is used by the TypeScript compiler to verify that any class that wishes to be a Credential Manager adheres to the constructor arguments sent to it.

Your class will satisfy this interface when all the following are true:

Your class extends AbstractCredentialManager
Your constructor has less than or equal to the number of parameters specified in the interface
Your constructor has matching parameter types for all parameters accepted

Type declaration

IExtenderTypeInfo

IExtenderTypeInfo: { schema: IProfileSchema; sourceApp: string }

Type declaration

schema: IProfileSchema
sourceApp: string

IExtendersJsonOpts

IExtendersJsonOpts: { profileTypes: Record<string, { from: string[]; latestFrom?: string; version?: string }> }

This type corresponds to the extenders.json file stored in the CLI home directory.

Here is an example structure of what extenders.json could look like on disk:

{
    "profileTypes": {
        "banana": {
            "from": ["@zowe/banana-for-zowe-cli", "Zowe Explorer Banana Extension"],
            "version": "v1.1.0",
            "latestFrom": "Zowe Explorer Banana Extension"
        }
    }
}

Type declaration

profileTypes: Record<string, { from: string[]; latestFrom?: string; version?: string }>

IImperativeOverrides

IImperativeOverrides: ConstructorOrString<ImperativeOverrides>

All of the Default Imperative classes that can be changed by your Imperative CLI app.

A plugin can also define overrides through the same means as an Imperative CLI app. When additional overrides provided by plugins are present, Imperative will favor those classes over ones provided by your application.

Whether you are defining an Imperative Plugin or an Imperative CLI app, all keys in this object are expected to be a class constructor or of type string.

A class constructor will be instantiated directly from imperative with no additional work by the provider. (Assuming it is properly defined for the specific key)
A string will trigger imperative to load the module before instantiating it.
- If the string is absolute, nothing special happens.
- If the string is relative, then imperative will base the load on a well known location depending on if it is a plugin provided override or base cli provided override.
  - For Imperative Plugins: The module is located relative to the packages default import path (e.g require('package-name'))
  - For Imperative CLI Apps: The module is located relative to the main entry point of your application

When defining the location of an overrides as a string, it must adhere to the following format. Otherwise Imperative will not be able to load the class.

Exporting an Anonymous Class

export = class {
  // Code goes here
};

Exporting a Named Class

export = class YourOverridesClass {
  // Code goes here
};

Using module.exports (Not preferred for TypeScript Users)

class YourOverridesClass {
  // Code goes here
}

module.exports = YourOverridesClass;

see: {@link ImperativeOverrides} for documentation on the available keys.
