This simple CLI requests input for a file that's contents match a specific format structure:
{
"title": "Workshop Title",
"instructors": [
{
"name": "Instructor 1",
"email": "[email protected]"
},
{
"name": "Instructor 2",
"email": "[email protected]"
}
]
}
If the input file validates against this structure then the data is converted to YAML format and then printed out, otherwise the application will exit 1.
To use this program, build the cli.go file:
$ go build cli.go // Unix, Linux
$ go build -o cli.exe cli.go // Windows
This will create an executable file named cli in the current directory. You can then run the program with the ./cli command and provide the file flag to print its contents:
./cli -file <filename> // Unix, Linux
.\cli.exe -file <filename> // Windows
Replace <filename> with the name of the file you want to read.
If the file cannot be opened or read, an error message will be printed and the program will exit 1. If the file can be read, the file's contents will be printed out.
