## Synopsis
The `almanac` framework aims to serve as an intuitive interface for spinning up interactive, page-based console applications. Think of it as a Python metaprogramming layer on top of [Python Prompt Toolkit](https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit) and [Pygments](https://pygments.org/).
## Example
`almanac` turns this:
```python
"""Welcome to a simple interactive HTTP client.
The current URL to request is the application's current path. Directories will be
created as you cd into them.
"""
import aiohttp
import asyncio
from almanac import highlight_for_mimetype, make_standard_app, PagePath
app = make_standard_app()
@app.on_init()
async def runs_at_start_up():
app.io.raw(__doc__)
app.bag.session = aiohttp.ClientSession()
app.io.info('Session opened!')
@app.on_exit()
async def runs_at_shut_down():
await app.bag.session.close()
app.io.info('Session closed!')
@app.prompt_text()
def custom_prompt():
stripped_path = str(app.page_navigator.current_page.path).lstrip('/')
return f'{stripped_path}> '
@app.hook.before('cd')
async def cd_hook_before(path: PagePath):
if path not in app.page_navigator:
app.page_navigator.add_directory_page(path)
@app.hook.exception(aiohttp.ClientError)
async def handle_aiohttp_errors(exc: aiohttp.ClientError):
app.io.error(f'{exc.__class__.__name__}: {str(exc)}')
@app.cmd.register()
@app.arg.method(choices=['GET', 'POST', 'PUT'], description='HTTP verb for request.')
@app.arg.proto(choices=['http', 'https'], description='Protocol for request.')
async def request(method: str, *, proto: str = 'https', **params: str):
"""Send an HTTP or HTTPS request."""
path = str(app.current_path).lstrip('/')
url = f'{proto}://{path}'
app.io.info(f'Sending {method} request to {url}...')
resp = await app.bag.session.request(method, url, params=params)
async with resp:
text = await resp.text()
highlighted_text = highlight_for_mimetype(text, resp.content_type)
app.io.info(f'Status {resp.status} response from {resp.url}')
app.io.info('Here\'s the content:')
app.io.ansi(highlighted_text)
if __name__ == '__main__':
asyncio.run(app.prompt())
```
