INCOMPLETE
Thot Utilities is a command line tool built to automate the common or tedious tasks you may have to perform when managing your local projects.
Containers#
Add Containers#
Remove Containers#
Note
Removing Containers doesn’t delete anything, it just renames the _container.json file so Thot does not recognize it as a Container anymore.
Warning
Removing a Container removes the entrie subtree below it.
Assets#
Add Assets#
Remove Assets#
Note
Removing Assets doesn’t delete anything, it just renames the _asset.json file so Thot does not recognize it as an Asset anymore.
Converting Data Files to Assets#
Convert can be a bit complicated because you can use functions to assign properties
The basic command is
thot utils data_to_assets --search <glob> --assets <asset_dictionary> --kwargs { "_id": <id>, "rename": <rename> }
<glob> is a glob pattern to match the data.
<asset_dictionary> is either a function that returns a dictionary representing the Asset, or a dictionary representing the Asset where the values can either be static or a lambda function that returns the value for the given field. Functions are passed the full path of the asset file.
<id> and <rename> can be either a string or a lambda function. If <rename> is a function it is passed the absolute path of the original data file. If <id> is a function it is passed the same.
Functions are passed the absolute path of the Asset file (i.e. after the original file has been moved to the Asset folder and renamed).
The _id field sets the id of the Asset, i.e. the relative path.
The rename field will rename the data file once moved to the Asset folder.
You also have to make sure that everything is properly quoted i.e. You can use different types of quotes inside of eachother, or need to escape the same type of quote with a backslash (\).
