CLI App

Not all apps require sophisticated code and many only require some interaction from inputs and run similarly to the interactions that would exist in a shell terminal. This powerful app skeleton can be suitable for these apps. Examples: * app that does some processing and just prints results or sends it to some server or storage. * app that does some data crunching, either from user input or from external sources and then posts something on other platforms. * app that transforms the data in some way and outputs it using some libs.

Introduction to the CLI App Template

Welcome to the Lazy platform where building powerful applications is made simple for you. Today, we will walk through the steps to use the CLI App template. This template is designed for applications that require some interaction from inputs and operate similarly to a shell terminal. It's perfect for apps that perform data processing, data crunching, or data transformation and output the results in various ways.

Getting Started with the Template

To begin using this template, click on the "Start with this Template" button in the Lazy Builder interface. This will pre-populate the code in the Lazy Builder, so you won't need to copy, paste, or delete any code manually.

Test: Deploying the App

Once you have the template ready, press the "Test" button to start the deployment of your app. The Lazy platform handles all the deployment processes, so you don't need to worry about setting up your environment or installing libraries.

Entering Input: Providing User Input

If the code requires user input, the Lazy App's CLI interface will prompt you for it after you press the "Test" button. Simply follow the prompts to provide the necessary input for your application to function correctly.

Using the App

After providing any required input, your CLI App will be running on the Lazy platform. You can interact with your application through the Lazy CLI. The template provided includes a simple function that logs a message and an example of how to add more functionalities. Here's a snippet of the code you'll be working with:

`import logging

logger = logging.getLogger(name)
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

def do_some_thing():
    # Example function to demonstrate functionality
    logger.info("Doing something...")

def main():
    do_some_thing()
    logger.info("Application 'CLI App' is running. Add more functionalities as per the requirements.")

if name == "main":
    main()Feel free to modify thedo_some_thing()` function to include the specific functionalities you need for your application.

Integrating the App

If your application requires integration with external services or tools, you will need to follow the specific steps provided by those services to integrate your app. This may include adding the app's server link in an external tool, configuring API endpoints, or adding web components as needed. Ensure you have the correct permissions and follow the service's documentation for integration.

Remember, the Lazy platform simplifies the process by handling the deployment and environment setup for you. All you need to focus on is building and integrating your application to meet your specific needs.

By following these steps, you should now have a basic understanding of how to use the CLI App template on the Lazy platform. Happy building!
