CLI::Simple::Shell(3)

💖 CLI::Simple::Shell 💖 — aka the cli-simple page

hii bestie!! welcome to section 3 of the manual, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew 🫶 this one's short, sweet, and honestly kinda iconic — it's all about the cli-simple script and its one (1) whole purpose. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

cli-simple — scaffold a new project from a .yml file 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the whole vibe, fr fr. you write yourself a spec file like this:

cat >my-project.yml <<EOF
---
commands:
  foo: MyProject::Role::Foo
  bar: MyProject::Role::Bar

options:
  - help|h
  - verbose|v
  - type|t=s
  - output|o=s

default_options:
  type:   json

extra_options:
  - buz
EOF

and then you run it, like:

cli-simple -scaffold my-project.yml

Commands:

 -scaffold <spec-file>   Scaffold role stubs from an existing modulino

that's it. that's the whole command list. one entry. -scaffold ate and left no crumbs 👑

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

bestie, listen — the cli-simple script's sole use is to scaffold a new project from a .yml file. literally its whole personality, no cap. one job, and it does it.

and the cute bonus?? you can also run that exact same command from any CLI::Simple based modulino script. so if you already live inside a CLI::Simple modulino, you don't have to go anywhere else — the command is right there with you, holding your hand 🫶
