How about CLI? #229

Closed lk-geimfari closed 6 years ago

lk-geimfari commented 6 years ago

Are we need CLI?

albertxie commented 6 years ago

I'd like to take on this project for Hacktoberfest, any specific requirements in mind?

lk-geimfari commented 6 years ago

@albertxie You can use CLI of Faker (similar library) as great example of CLI.

denisorehovsky commented 6 years ago

CLI is comfortable. I've been using django-autofixture instead of mimesis just because it has the CLI. If the mimesis had the CLI, I would use it instead.

lk-geimfari commented 6 years ago

@apirobot We will definitely add support of CLI. If @albertxie can't take this task, then i'll add it by myself.

lk-geimfari commented 6 years ago

Let's thinks about features which we want to see in CLI. Any suggestions?

albertxie commented 6 years ago

hopefully I can get a PR out by sometimes next week, I was thinking of simply starting off with argparse to specify details on basic cases

lk-geimfari commented 6 years ago

@albertxie Remember that the code must be testable inside and out. Let me know, please, if you are unable to cope for some reason. Thanks!

So, no one wants to work on this, maybe we don't need it?

denisorehovsky commented 6 years ago

Maybe it's not so easy to implement? And maybe it's really not so useful to have a CLI just for providers. But the CLI with integration with Django or Flask would be awesome, in my opinion.

lk-geimfari commented 6 years ago

I agree with you, but we don't add features which need external packages to mimesis, such features should be implemented in another self-sufficient package.
