A command line tool for querying Metasys enums. It features auto-completions to make searching quicker with less typing.
- node and npm
- bash or zsh (for completions to work)
The completion scripts are written for bash. The program will still work fine if you aren't using bash or zsh but you won't get auto-completions.
Add an entry to your npm config to be able to install packages from GitHub Packages.
Then install the package.
npm install -g @metasys/enuf- Look up an entire set
- Look up just one member
- Use numeric id or symbolic names for both the set and the member
- Auto-completions (if configured)
- Use new camel case names used in JSON payloads (eg.
attributeEnumSet) or the original names (eg.ATTRIBUTE_ENUM_SET) - Search for a set based on translated text
- Multi-Language support
- Ability to update data/languages independently of the app
- Extract the library from the cli so others can write apps with the library
usage: enuf <command> [<args>]
These are the commands:
lookup Lookup and display a set or partial set
search Search for sets containing specified works in translated text
EXAMPLES
lookup
The lookup command is invoked like this:
enuf lookup setArgument [memberArgument...]
where the setArgument can be a set name or a numeric id. The memberArgument is optional. It can be one or more member names or numeric ids. If memberArgument is missing the entire set is returned, else just the set identifying information along with the specific members is returned.
search
The search command is invoked like this:
enuf search word [word...]
where word is a word being searched for.

Let's say I want to find all the sets with a member that contains "active" and a different member that contains "inactive". (Notice that active can match inactive, our search will look for unique members.)
> enuf search active inactive

twostateEnumSetLet's say I want to see the entire BACPOLARITY_ENUM_SET
> enuf lookup BACPOLARITY_ENUM_SET
Name NAME Id Description
bacpolarityEnumSet BACPOLARITY_ENUM_SET 3 Normal Reverse
Name NAME Id Description
bacpolrtyNormal BACPOLRTY_NORMAL 0 Normal
bacpolrtyReverse BACPOLRTY_REVERSE 1 Reverse
bacpolrtyHold BACPOLRTY_HOLD 2 HoldThe first two lines describe the set identifiers. Next, comes a table of all of the members of the set.
Next I want to find out what member 5 of the unitEnumSet is
> enuf lookup unitEnumSet 5
Name NAME Id Description
unitEnumSet UNIT_ENUM_SET 507 Unit
Name NAME Id Description
volts VOLTS 5 VNow I want to find the voltAmpereHours entry in the same set.
> enuf lookup unitEnumSet voltAmpereHours
Name NAME Id Description
unitEnumSet UNIT_ENUM_SET 507 Unit
Name NAME Id Description
voltAmpereHours VOLT_AMPERE_HOURS 239 VAhFinally, if all I know about an enum member is the set id and member id I can use those as well
> enuf lookup 502 2
Name NAME Id Description
executionPriorityEnumSet EXECUTION_PRIORITY_ENUM_SET 502 Execution
Priority
Name NAME Id Description
criticalEquipmentPriority CRITICAL_EQUIPMENT_PRIORITY 2 CriticalHere I'm looking up several enum members based on an xml payload I'm investigating.

transitions ELENAM_TRANSITIONS 105 TransitionsIf you configure the completions then you can use the <tab> key to see auto-complete suggestions. These work both with bash and zsh.
To do that copy the completions file enuf-completion-bash to a location in your $HOME directory and source it from your .bashrc. I created a new directory in my home directory called .completions.
> cd ~
> mkdir .completions
> chdir .completionsThe file enuf-completion.bash is stored somewhere in your node.js configuration files. The easiest way to get it is to just grab it from the repo here. You can copy and paste the contents of that file into a new file. Save it to the directory you just created with the name enuf-completion.bash.
Finally edit your .bashrc file and add this line at the end. (This should be in your home directory. If it isn't it's safe to create it. If you are using .profile instead of .bashrc you can add the line there instead)
source $HOME/.completions/enuf-completion.bashNow every time you start a new shell the completions will be loaded for enuf.
Follow the instructions for creating the enuf-completion.bash file from previous section and put it in the .completions directory.
Then in your .oh-my-zsh/oh-my-zsh.sh file find this line
Add the following lines at the end of the file. (We add them at the end of the file
to ensure that compinit is running before we attempt to run these instructions).
autoload -U +X bashcompinit && bashcompinit
# Make sure enuf completions are loaded
source $HOME/.completions/enuf-completion.bashThis command line tool comes with bash completions to make it easier to find what you are looking for. For example, let's lookup attribute id 3257 from attributeEnumSet. In the following example <tab> means press the tab key and the ▊ is the cursor.
> enuf▊<tab>After you type tab the list of commands is shown and the cursor advanced:
> enuf ▊
help lookup searchNext, type l and then tab:
> enuf l<tab>▊The command auto-completes and advances the cursor:
> enuf lookup ▊Now start to type the name of the enum set followed by tab.
> enuf lookup attr▊<tab>The enum set partially completes
> enuf lookup attribute▊Now type tab a second time and two suggestions are given
> enuf lookup attribute▊
attributeCategoryEnumSet attributeEnumSetIf I now type an E followed by a tab
> enuf lookup attributeE▊<tab>The set will auto-complete and advanced the cursor
> enuf lookup attributeEnumSet ▊Finally I enter in the id I'm looking for
> enuf lookup attributeEnumSet 3257
Name NAME Id Description
attributeEnumSet ATTRIBUTE_ENUM_SET 509 Attribute
Name NAME Id Description
input61 INPUT61_ATTR 3257 Input61Then when I hit return I get a table with the results. After the header rows, the next row always includes information about the set itself. Then the next line includes the member I was looking for.
You can even use completions with search:
> enuf search pres<tab>
pres present press-analog pressure-brine pressure|oil
pres/ambient preserve press1 pressure-digital pressurize
pres/rat preset press2 pressure-flow prestart
prescale preshutdown pressed pressure/flow prestop
presence press pressure pressure|evaporator presvalThis shows you all the terms that start with pres
It pains me greatly that their is a slight delay after you type and the completions happen. On my machine anywhere between 0.15-0.21 seconds (just for the commands. It's longer when it actually needs to do work to search the dictionary). The 0.15-0.2 seconds is the overhead of using node for this application. I created a prototype in C that just returned the list of commands and it was close to 0 (like 0.01s). So it's as snappy as the completions for git.
A rewrite in another language may be in order. Or perhaps I should just write the completions in bash shell scripting (but that seems like a tough job).
