Welcome back to the ongoing journey of enhancing Explore.CLI! As I discussed last week, my focus has been on implementing new features and refining existing ones. In this update, I am excited to share the progress made and the intricacies of the latest improvements.
Enhancing the 'Import' Feature
Building upon the momentum of previous weeks, where I enhanced the Export
feature, I turned my attention to the Import
feature. The primary enhancement was the integration of the --names
option, similar to what was done for Export
. This required a few key updates:
- Modifying the
Option
variablenames
to indicate its dual functionality for both import and export. - Adjusting the
importSpaceCommand
to correctly utilize thenames
option. - Updating the
ImportSpaces
method to handle a comma-separated list of names.
The implementation ensures a more intuitive and flexible import process, catering to specific user needs.
Code Refinement and Bug Fixing
In addition to feature enhancement, a significant part of my focus was on refining existing code and addressing bugs:
-
Removing Deprecated Features: Following discussions on issue #18, I removed the
import-inspector-collections
feature, ensuring the codebase remains streamlined and up-to-date. - Bug Fixing: A small bug, identified in my previous contributions, was addressed. The application now displays an appropriate message when no matching spaces are found during export or import, improving user experience.
Code Snippets
Here's a glimpse of the key code changes implemented:
- Modifying the
names
option:
var names = new Option<string>(name: "--names", description: "The names of the spaces to export or import") { IsRequired = false };
- Adjusting
importSpaceCommand
:
var importSpacesCommand = new Command("import-spaces")
{
exploreCookie,
importFilePath,
names,
verbose
};
importSpacesCommand.SetHandler(async (ec, fp, v, n) =>
{ await ImportSpaces(ec, fp, v, n); },
exploreCookie,
importFilePath,
names,
verbose);
- Implementing checks for matching spaces during import and export:
// For Export
if (namesList?.Count > 0 && space.Name != null && !namesList.Contains(space.Name))
{
AnsiConsole.MarkupLine($"[orange3]'Skipped {space.Name}': Name not found in list of names to export[/]");
continue;
}
// For Import
foreach (var exportedSpace in exportedSpaces.ExploreSpaces)
{
if (namesList?.Count > 0 && exportedSpace.Name != null && !namesList.Contains(exportedSpace.Name)) {
AnsiConsole.MarkupLine($"[orange3]'Skipped {exportedSpace.Name}': Name not found in list of names to import[/]");
continue;
}
}
Documentation and Pull Request
Finally, the README.md
file was meticulously updated to reflect these changes, aiding future contributors and users. All these updates are encapsulated in a pull request, which is currently under review. I have already addressed a minor typo pointed out by the repository owner and am eagerly awaiting the final approval.
Conclusion
This phase of enhancements to Explore.CLI has been a blend of expansion, refinement, and learning. It demonstrates the project's commitment to continuous improvement and user-centric development. As always, I am keen to hear feedback and look forward to sharing more updates soon.
