freshbooks-cli-config

Configuration manager for freshbooks-cli

Overview

freshbooks-cli is a command-line interface to the FreshBooks API.

freshbooks-cli-config implements the config subcommand for freshbooks-cli.

Usage

--key, -k [String] - A configuration key to operate on. If --value is not
                     set, the current value will be written to STDOUT. Keys
                     are namespaced and delimited by ':'.

--value, -v [String] - Save a new value to the specified key.

--file, -f [Path] - Explicitely specify the configFile to operate on. If
                    not set, $HOME/.freshbooks will be used.

--edit, -e - Manually edit configuration with $EDITOR

--help, -h - Display this message

Examples

# Set the Freshbooks API base url
$ freshbooks-config -k api:url -v "https://YOURACCOUNT.freshbooks.com/api"

# Set the Freshbooks API version
$ freshbooks-config -k api:version -v 2.1

# Print the current Freshbooks API version to STDOUT
$ freshbooks-config -k api:version

# Edit configuration using a text editor
$ freshbooks-config --edit

API

You can (and should!) use this interface to manage user configuration within your own freshbooks-cli plugins.

 
config = require 'freshbooks-cli-config'
 
# Reading the global defaults 
config.defaults
 
# Getting the current freshbooks\_config file path 
config.configFile()
 
# Retrieving the nconf object 
nconf = config.getConf()
 
# Retrieving a value 
nconf.get 'namespace:key'
 

The nconf object returned using configFile() has already loaded the freshbooks\_config file, env overrides, and the global defaults (in that order of precedence).

The default freshbooks\_config file is ~/.freshbooks, which can be changed by setting the environment variable freshbooks\_config=PATH

See nconf for details.
