# Pastes CLI

A cli tool to upload files to pastes.dev or bytebin.lucko.me

The program will attempt to determine the file type based on the
extension, and thus, whether it should be uploaded to pastebin or 

## Usage

`pastes` can be run as a single command

```sh
$ pastes my_text_file.txt # Upload a text file to pastes.dev
$ pastes my_image.png # Upload an image to bytebin.lucko.me

$ pastes my_unknown_file # Upload to bytebin
$ pastes my_unknown_file --pastes # Upload to pastebin (read the file as plaintext)
$ pastes my_unknown_file --bytebin # Upload to bytebin

$ pastes ... -t application/json # Force application/json mime type
```

Or, it can be run in a pipeline

```sh
$ echo "hello" | pastes --json | jq '.url'
```

```sh
$ cat my_file.txt | pastes -t text/plain
# Is equivalent to
$ pastes my_file.txt -t text/plain
```

For full usage see `pastes --help`

## Platforms

While this project has been built with Linux in mind, it _should_
theoretically work on other platforms.

## Install

```sh
cargo install pastes
```

## Todo

A few items on the todo list:

- [ ] Add the ability to download from pastes.dev and bytebin
    - Either detecting in the url itself or add a `--download` flag that
      will treat the file as a url or key
    - Use the [`mime2ext`](https://crates.io/crates/mime2ext) crate to guess the file extension and write to that
- [ ] Perhaps switch to tokio and non-blocking reqwest to allow streams
    - Via stream feature on reqwest (which requires tokio)
- [ ] Add ability to use alternate locations hosting paste/bytebin
  instances
- [ ] More mimetype matching to determine which service to use
