clogi

The name clogi was originally meant to mean cargo-logistics, since I had wanted to create a command line utility that would cater to my abstract, object oriented brain so I could run things like cargo new class within a project and dump a lot of boiler plate code into files and organise them sensibly.

Now, it's more like command-line-logistics, since this project is basically a meeting place for command line applications that I want to write.

Summary of parts

• clogi, the CLI.
• todoist, or lib-todoist, for Todoist models and interfacing with their API.
• chrono_elapsed, an extension of chrono. Provides contextually aware date objects. In other words, allows you to display things such as datetime dt was n days ago or arrives in 02:30s.
• korero, a library with code for making HTTP requests. Aims to be where code for interfacing externally lives.

External

• StructOpt: automatic parsing of arguments.
• Serde: works in tandem with schemars and serde_json.
• reqwest: for HTTP stuff.
• chrono: date parsing.
• console, dialoguer, indicatif for help in the CLI.
