|
|
* import CSV, ~~TSV, line-based TXT, fixed-width TXT, JSON or XML~~ (and specify input options)
|
|
* supports stdin, multiple files and URLs
|
|
* transform data by providing an [undo/redo](https://docs.openrefine.org/manual/running#history-undoredo) JSON file
|
|
* orcli calls specific endpoints for each operation to provide improved error handling and logging
|
|
* supports stdin, multiple files and URLs
|
|
* export to TSV, ~~CSV, HTML, XLS, XLSX, ODS~~

## Install
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the OpenRefine program directory
|
|
|
|
2. Download bash script there and make it executable
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
wget https://github.com/opencultureconsulting/orcli/raw/main/orcli
|
|
chmod +x orcli
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Create a symlink in your $PATH (e.g. to ~/.local/bin)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
ln -s "${PWD}/orcli" ~/.local/bin/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Ensure you have OpenRefine running (i.e. available at http://localhost:3333 or another URL) or use the integrated start command first.
|
|
|
|
Use integrated help screens for available options and examples for each command.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
orcli --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
|
|
orcli uses [bashly](https://github.com/DannyBen/bashly/) for generating the one-file script from files in the `src` directory
|
|
|
|
1. Install bashly (requires ruby)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
gem install bashly
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Edit code in [src](src) directory
|
|
|
|
3. Generate script
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
bashly generate --upgrade
|
|
```
