Command line interface to help generate proper code syntax, pulled from documentation

Syntax Helper CLI

Syntax Helper is a CLI that helps developers quickly get access to built-in code syntax. Syntax Helper supports a variety of code packages for both Golang and Python. Data is scrapped directly from https://golang.org/pkg/ & https://docs.python.org/3/library/.

Installation

Install locally using:

git clone [email protected]:alishalabi/syntax-helper.git

Install using go get command:

go get github.com/alishalabi/syntax-helper

Usage

• Note: All functionality requires broadband connection

Get all Golang functions for given package name:

./syntax-helper golang <pkg-name>

Example:

$ ./syntax-helper golang unsafe                
func Alignof(x ArbitraryType) uintptr
func Offsetof(x ArbitraryType) uintptr
func Sizeof(x ArbitraryType) uintptr
type ArbitraryType
type Pointer

Get syntax for specific public function from package (Note: function names all begin with a capital letter)

./syntax-helper golang <pkg-name> <function-name>

Example:

$ ./syntax-helper golang unsafe Offsetof
Function Syntax:
func Offsetof(x ArbitraryType) uintptr
For Synatx example:
$ ./syntax-helper golang unsafe Offsetof example

Get example of specific public function from package (Note: function names all begin with a capital letter)

./syntax-helper golang <pkg-name> <function-name> example

Example:

$ ./syntax-helper golang fmt Fprintf example    
Function Example:
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	const name, age = "Kim", 22
	n, err := fmt.Fprintf(os.Stdout, "%s is %d years old.\n", name, age)

	// The n and err return values from Fprintf are
	// those returned by the underlying io.Writer.
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Fprintf: %v\n", err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("%d bytes written.\n", n)

}
