Zsh Ultimate Programmer's Extensions Refurbished - version 0.1

Introduction

Zuper is a minimalist library of extensions for Zsh programming, because believe it or not Zsh is so slick and powerful that it can be used as a programming language.

Features

• key/value store on files mapped to associative arrays
• consul k/v integration using native get/set over ztcp
• nifty messaging using colors and intl support (gettext)
• procedural flow debugging functions and variable monitor
• clean exit and destructors registration
• improved temp file handling
• more to come...

Usage

Documentation is still lacking, however to use Zuper in Zsh scripts one must first source its main library zuper, then declare global variables and arrays, then source zuper.init and at the end of the program call endgame for a clean exit. Example test program:

#!/usr/bin/env zsh

# switch on debugging output
debug=1
# switch on zuper's key/value load/save extension
zkv=1
# switch off zuper's consul kv get/set extension
unset consul

source zuper

# declare a custom global variable
vars+=(myvar)
# assign a default value to our global variable
myvar=${myvar:-ok}

# declare a custom function to print it out
testfun() {
    # register the function in the debug flow
    fn "testfun"
    # print out with nice green colors
    notice "Custom var: $myvar"
    # create a tempfile
    ztmp && mytmp=$ztmpfile
    # put the value into the tempfile
    print $myvar >> $mytmp
    # print out the path to the tempfile
    act "Temp file: $mytmp"
    # print out the contents of the tempfile
    act "Content: `cat $mytmp`"
    # the tempfile will be deleted in endgame()
    # but can also be delete earlier here, optionally
}

# wrap the init phase
source zuper.init

# register the zdump debug function to be executed on exit
destruens+=(zdump)

# call our custom function
testfun

# declare an associative array map
typeset -A mymap
# we use words and their md5
mymap=(
    lorem f737a087bca81f69a6048ec744c73e41
    ipsum 02063b9bf9d6e15ad61226fa4584aae0
    dolor 5f20730ddc7a1fedbf265358f0ce4f26
)

# save the map into a file
zkv.save mymap test.map

# free the map
mymap=()

# re-declare the map
typeset -A mymap
# re-load saved contents
zkv.load test.map
# dump contents
for i in ${(k)mymap}; do
    print "$i \t ${mymap[$i]}"
done

# end of the program (will call destructors)
