User Menu Cookbook

User Menu is a power feature of Cloud Commander that was added in v12.2.0.

If you create file .cloudcmd.menu.js in the HOME or any top-level directory, it will be used when you press F2. If you enabled it before with help of --user-menu command line flag.

Here you can find ready to use scripts for your user menu. You can combine them in any way, and also add yours 😉.

Rename file

The simplest way to show rename file dialog.

module.exports = {
    'F2 - Rename file': async ({DOM}) => {
        await DOM.renameCurrent();
    },
};

Convert flac to mp3

Simple example of running bash scripts with help of TerminalRun.

const isMp3 = (a) => /\.mp3$/.test(a);

module.exports = {
    'F - Convert flac to mp3': async ({DOM, CloudCmd}) => {
        const convert = 'for f in *.flac; do ffmpeg -vsync 2 -i "$f" -b:a 320k "${f%flac}mp3"; done';
        const command = `bash -c '${convert}'`;
        
        const exitCode = await CloudCmd.TerminalRun.show({
            command,
        });
        
        if (exitCode)
            return;
        
        await CloudCmd.refresh();
        
        const {IO, CurrentInfo} = DOM;
        
        // get mp3 file names
        const {dirPath, files} = CurrentInfo;
        const names = DOM.getFilenames(files);
        const mp3Dir = `${dirPath}mp3`;
        const mp3Names = names.filter(isMp3);
        
        // create mp3 directory
        await IO.write(`${mp3Dir}?dir`);
        
        // move *.mp3 files to mp3 directory
        await IO.mv({
            from: dirPath,
            to: mp3Dir,
            names: mp3Names,
        });
        
        await CloudCmd.refresh();
    },
}

Create User Menu File

This is how you can create .cloudcmd.menu.js file.

module.exports = {
    'C - Create User Menu File': async ({DOM, CloudCmd}) => {
        const {CurrentInfo} = DOM;
        
        const {dirPath} = CurrentInfo;
        const path = `${dirPath}.cloudcmd.menu.js`;
        const {prefix} = CloudCmd;
        
        const data = await readDefaultMenu({prefix});
        await createDefaultMenu({
            path,
            data,
            DOM,
            CloudCmd,
        });
    },
};

async function createDefaultMenu({path, data, DOM, CloudCmd}) {
    const {IO} = DOM;
    
    await IO.write(path, data);
    await CloudCmd.refresh();
    
    DOM.setCurrentByName('.cloudcmd.menu.js');
    
    await CloudCmd.EditFile.show();
}

async function readDefaultMenu({prefix}) {
    const res = await fetch(`${prefix}/api/v1/user-menu/default`);
    const data = await res.text();
    
    return data;
}

Compare Directories

module.exports = 
    'D - Compare directories': async ({DOM}) => {
        const {
            CurrentInfo,
            getFilenames,
            getCurrentByName,
            selectFile,
        } = DOM;
        
        const {
            files,
            filesPassive,
            panel,
            panelPassive,
        } = CurrentInfo;

        const names = getFilenames(files);
        const namesPassive = getFilenames(filesPassive);

        const selectedNames = compare(names, namesPassive);
        const selectedNamesPassive = compare(namesPassive, names);

        selectNames(selectedNames, panel, {
            selectFile,
            getCurrentByName,
        });

        selectNames(selectedNamesPassive, panelPassive, {
            selectFile,
            getCurrentByName,
        });
    },
}

function selectNames(names, panel, {selectFile, getCurrentByName}) {
    for (const name of names) {
        const file = getCurrentByName(name, panel);
        selectFile(file);
    }
};

function compare(a, b) {
    const result = [];

    for (const el of a) {
        if (b.includes(el))
            continue;

        result.push(el);
    }

    return result;
}
