modular shell boilerplate module

here's some ugly and old shell scripts that are actually usefull for boilerplates

todo: cleanup, update and finish

q: what the hell is this?

a: it's a dirty old command line boilerplate

you set up functions and call them with parameters

usage

./cli.sh dostuff
./cli.sh domorestuff

#!/bin/bash
#cli.sh
# basic shell boilerplate

# add your parameters here

# jobname (required) & date (optional)
jobname=$1
rundate=$2

# set date (for logging not for the job rundate)
LOGDATE=`date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'`

# start of the script echo host / user / date
echo '----) cli.sh starting - ' $LOGDATE
echo $HOSTNAME
runuser=$(whoami)
echo $runuser

# add your helpers here

# show functions for console help
show_functions(){
# job help 
echo 'function list'
echo 'functions starting with job_ are accepted jobnames'
declare -F
}

# exit if params are jacked
bad_parameters () {
    echo >&2 "$@"
    echo ' '
    echo '----) cli.sh ending - ' $LOGDATE
    show_functions
    exit 1
}

# add tasks here

test_task(){
  echo '  ----> task one started '
  echo ' '
  echo 'i got passed ' $1
  echo '  ----> task one ended '
  echo ' '
}

test_task_two(){
  echo '  ----> task one started '
  echo ' '
  echo 'i got passed ' $1
  echo '  ----> task one ended '
  echo ' '
}

# add jobs here
# jobs call multiple tasks typically

job_test(){
  echo ' ====> test_job started'
  echo ' '
  echo $jobname ' is the jobname'
  echo $rundate ' is the rundate'
  echo 'job_test' was passed $1
  test_task $LOGDATE
  test_task_two wtf
  echo ' ====> test_job ended'
  echo ' '
}

# validation - runs with 1 or 2 parameters - echo usage &  exit

echo ' '
echo 'validating parameters '
echo ' '

[ "$#" -lt 1 ] && bad_parameters "usage is cli (jobname - required) (yyyy-mm-dd - optional), $# provided"
[ "$#" -gt 2 ] && bad_parameters "usage is cli (jobname - required) (yyyy-mm-dd - optional), $# parameters ($@) exceeds the maximum"
[ "$#" -ge 1 ] && [ "$#" -le 2 ]  && echo $@ && echo ' ' && echo "parameters are valid" 

# if rundate is not set this automatically set rundate to today
[ "$#" -eq 1 ] && rundate=`date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'`  && echo 'setting date'

# run the job


# add a call to your job function here
echo 'configuring settings for ' $jobname
if [ $jobname = job_test ]; then
  echo 'starting job ' $jobname && job_test omg; else
  echo $jobname ' did not match the job list' && show_functions
  # todo: put an else snippet here
fi

echo ' '
echo '----) cli.sh ending - ' $LOGDATE
