Usergrid Command Line (ugc)

ugc enables convenient terminal access to Apache Usergrid.

Features

  • Multiple connection/login profiles
  • Simple syntax to Usergrid data
  • Will automatically perform paging on long query results
  • Use relative or absolute URLs
  • Convenient path reference '@n' to previous list entities
  • Easy-to-read tabular output
  • Simplified json-generating syntax for data (key: 'value')
  • Ruby evaluation within data elements
  • Can optionally emits raw output (--verbose switch)
  • Extended SQL syntax (adds 'from' and 'limit' clauses to standard Usergrid syntax)
  • File upload (-f or --file option) on PUT and POST
  • Emit curl equivalent for all REST commands

Installation

$ gem install ugc

Note: Requires Ruby 1.9.3+ or Ruby 2.0+. If you have issues, check your version:

$ ruby -v

If necessary, install a new version of Ruby. RVM is recommended:

$ curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

help                - Shows a list of commands or help for one command
login               - Performs a login to the current profile
post, create        - non-idempotent create or update (post is usually create)

put, update         - idempotent create or update (put is usually an update)
query               - query (uses sql-like syntax)
target              - set the base url, org, and app for the current profile

Setup

Create a profile:

$ ugc profile apigee

Set targets:

$ ugc target base https://api.usergrid.com
base_url = https://api.usergrid.com

$ ugc target organization scottganyo
organization = scottganyo

$ ugc target app messagee
application = messagee

(Alternatively, you can just specify the whole url at once)

$ ugc target url https://api.usergrid.com/scottganyo/messagee
base_url = https://api.usergrid.com
organization = scottganyo
application = messagee

What? No dogs? A travesty!

create a dog

(Note the use of simplified json syntax)

$ ugc create dog "breed: 'Black Mouth Cur', name: 'Old Yeller'"
name     value
uuid     91833fd9-56c5-11e2-a6b8-14109fd49581
name     Old Yeller
created  1357341732438
modified 1357341732438
breed    Black Mouth Cur

he's lonely. we need more dogs.

(Note use of square brackets to create an array of dogs)

$ ugc create dogs "[{ name: 'Tramp' },{ breed: 'Cocker Spaniel', name: 'Lady' }]"
#  uuid                                 name  created       modified      breed
1  79dfb563-56cb-11e2-a6b8-14109fd49581 Tramp 1357344269759 1357344269759
2  79e11500-56cb-11e2-a6b8-14109fd49581 Lady  1357344269768 1357344269768 Cocker Spaniel

All the created dogs were returned as a list.

oops, show that first dog

(Note use of @1 to reference the 1st row from the previous list.)

$ ugc show @1
name     value
uuid     79dfb563-56cb-11e2-a6b8-14109fd49581
name     Tramp
created  1357344269759
modified 1357344269768

Note synonym commands:

$ ugc show dogs/79dfb563-56cb-11e2-a6b8-14109fd49581
$ ugc show dogs/Tramp

yup. forgot to set the breed, update that dog

(Note use of standard json data)

$ ugc update @1 '{ "breed" : "Mixed" }'
name     value
uuid     79dfb563-56cb-11e2-a6b8-14109fd49581
name     Tramp
created  1357344269759
modified 1357344537483
breed    Mixed

If you have more than ten dogs, it might be easier to target your specific dog when you update it:

ugc update dogs/79dfb563-56cb-11e2-a6b8-14109fd49581 '{ "breed" : "Mixed" }'

show off our latest dogs

$ ugc query dogs 'select name, breed where modified >= 1357344269768'
#  name     breed
1  Einstein Mixed
2  Lady     Cocker Spaniel

Note: with ugc, you can also use extended sql syntax...

$ ugc query 'select name, breed from dogs where modified >= 1357344269768 limit 1'
#  name     breed
1  Einstein Mixed

-- Special note on specifying column names in queries --

If you specify column names in your query, you will be unable to reference the returned rows by @1 reference in later commands. (The current Usergrid implementation doesn't return any metadata for the entries.) In addition, for your safety the history will be cleared so that you don't inadvertently reference entities from a previous list.
