CLI entrypoint #6
Description
For the basic implementation we are going for a CLI application. However, not all CLIs are equal.
This medium post talks about good CLI interfaces.
We should strive to reach as much points as possible. The main problem with our CLI is that we have several things our application can do (training, detection, db management, etc). Two approaches can be used here:
- One single executable that has several subcommands (i.e. git)
- Several executables that share a common codebase (i.e. radare2)
Both approaches can work with rust due to how cargo compiles. Which approach to use will be then influenced by what CLI frameworks are available to use.
The Awesome Rust list can be a good starting point for trying out CLI frameworks to see what fits our needs the most and complies as much as possible with the 12 factor philosophy.
