README.md for FCLI

FCLI

FCLI is a powerful, extensible, and thread-safe command-line interface (CLI) tool for interacting with APIs, particularly those following the Farcaster hub protocol. It allows users to query data, execute commands, and dynamically configure hub addresses with ease. Designed with modern C++ standards (C++23), it ensures high performance and stability.

---

Features

• Dynamic Hub Configuration: Supports setting custom hub addresses via commands.
• Thread-Safe Operations: Ensures reliable and safe execution in multi-threaded environments.
• JSON Pretty-Printing: Parses and formats JSON responses for better readability.
• Verbose Mode: Enables detailed debugging information for API requests.
• Extensibility: Built with modular design principles, allowing easy addition of new features.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• C++23-compatible compiler (e.g., GCC 12+, Clang 16+)
• libcurl for HTTP requests
• jsoncpp for JSON parsing
• CMake 3.25+ for building the project

Build Instructions

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/genyleap/FCLI.git
   cd FCLI

2. Configure and Build:

   mkdir build &&cd build
   cmake ..
   cmake --build .

3. Run the Executable:

   ./fcli help

---

Usage

Basic Commands

1. Fetch Hub Information:

   ./fcli /v1/info dbstats=1

   Example Output:

   [INFO] Executing command with URL: https://hub.pinata.cloud/v1/info?dbstats=1
   [INFO] Response:
   {
   "version": "1.0.0",
   "dbStats": {
   "collections": 12,
   "documents": 456789
   }
   }
   

2. Set Custom Hub Address:

   ./fcli set-hub https://hub.pinata.cloud

   Example Output:

   [INFO] Hub URL updated to: https://hub.pinata.cloud
   

3. Help:

   ./fcli help

   Example Output:

   [INFO] Available Commands:
   /v1/info - Fetch hub information.
   /v1/reactions - Fetch reactions for a cast or user.
   set-hub <hub_url> - Set a custom hub address.
   Example:
   ./fcli /v1/info dbstats=1
   ./fcli set-hub https://hub.pinata.cloud
   ./fcli /v1/reactions query="hello world" cursor="a&b=c%20"
   

4. Encoded Query Parameters (spaces/symbols):

   ./fcli /v1/reactions query="hello world" cursor="a&b=c%20"

   Example Request URL:

   [INFO] Executing command with URL: https://hub.pinata.cloud/v1/reactions?cursor=a%26b%3Dc%2520&query=hello%20world
   

5. Real Farcaster Hub Smoke Request:

   ./fcli /v1/info dbstats=1 --verbose

   Example Output (truncated):

   [INFO] Executing command with URL: https://hub.pinata.cloud/v1/info?dbstats=1
   [JSON] {
   "version": "...",
   ...
   }
   

6. Explicitly Set Pinata Hub Then Query:

   ./fcli set-hub https://hub.pinata.cloud
   ./fcli /v1/info dbstats=1 --verbose

   Example Request URL:

   [INFO] Executing command with URL: https://hub.pinata.cloud/v1/info?dbstats=1
   

---

Testing

cmake -S . -B build -DENABLE_TESTING=ON
cmake --build build --target fcli_network_query_string_test fcli_farcaster_live_smoke_test fcli_farcaster_hub_info_variants_test
ctest --test-dir build -R network_query_string_test --output-on-failure

Run the live Farcaster integration tests explicitly:

FCLI_RUN_LIVE_FARCASTER_TEST=1 ctest --test-dir build -R farcaster_ --output-on-failure
