# Description
The meaning of the word usage is specific to describing how a command
function is *used* and not a synonym for general description. Usage can
be used to describe the SYNOPSIS or EXAMPLES sections of a man page
where the permitted argument combinations are shown or example *uses*
are given.
Let's not confuse people and call it what it is a description.
Our `help` command already creates its own *Usage* section based on the
available arguments and doesn't refer to the description with usage.
# User-Facing Changes
`help commands` and `scope commands` will now use `description` or
`extra_description`
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
Breaking change in the plugin protocol:
In the signature record communicated with the engine.
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
The same rename also takes place for the methods on
`SimplePluginCommand` and `PluginCommand`
# Tests + Formatting
- Updated plugin protocol specific changes
# After Submitting
- [ ] update plugin protocol doc
# Description
Setting metadata on a byte stream converts it to a list stream. This PR
makes it so that `metadata set` does not alter its input besides the
metadata.
```nushell
open --raw test.json
| metadata set --content-type application/json
| http post https://httpbin.org/post
```
# Description
This PR introduces a new `Signals` struct to replace our adhoc passing
around of `ctrlc: Option<Arc<AtomicBool>>`. Doing so has a few benefits:
- We can better enforce when/where resetting or triggering an interrupt
is allowed.
- Consolidates `nu_utils::ctrl_c::was_pressed` and other ad-hoc
re-implementations into a single place: `Signals::check`.
- This allows us to add other types of signals later if we want. E.g.,
exiting or suspension.
- Similarly, we can more easily change the underlying implementation if
we need to in the future.
- Places that used to have a `ctrlc` of `None` now use
`Signals::empty()`, so we can double check these usages for correctness
in the future.
# Description
With #13254, the content-type pipeline metadata field was added. This
pull request allows it to be manipulated with `metadata set`
# User-Facing Changes
* `metadata set` now has a `--content-type` flag
# Description
Provides the ability to use http commands as part of a pipeline.
Additionally, this pull requests extends the pipeline metadata to add a
content_type field. The content_type metadata field allows commands such
as `to json` to set the metadata in the pipeline allowing the http
commands to use it when making requests.
This pull request also introduces the ability to directly stream http
requests from streaming pipelines.
One other small change is that Content-Type will always be set if it is
passed in to the http commands, either indirectly or throw the content
type flag. Previously it was not preserved with requests that were not
of type json or form data.
# User-Facing Changes
* `http post`, `http put`, `http patch`, `http delete` can be used as
part of a pipeline
* `to text`, `to json`, `from json` all set the content_type metadata
field and the http commands will utilize them when making requests.
# Description
Does some misc changes to `ListStream`:
- Moves it into its own module/file separate from `RawStream`.
- `ListStream`s now have an associated `Span`.
- This required changes to `ListStreamInfo` in `nu-plugin`. Note sure if
this is a breaking change for the plugin protocol.
- Hides the internals of `ListStream` but also adds a few more methods.
- This includes two functions to more easily alter a stream (these take
a `ListStream` and return a `ListStream` instead of having to go through
the whole `into_pipeline_data(..)` route).
- `map`: takes a `FnMut(Value) -> Value`
- `modify`: takes a function to modify the inner stream.
# Description
This PR adds the ability to set metadata. This is especially useful for
activating LS_COLORS when using table literals.
You can also set the filepath metadata, although I'm not really user how
useful this is. We may end up removing this option entirely.
```nushell
❯ "crates" | metadata set --datasource-filepath $'(pwd)/crates' | metadata
╭────────┬───────────────────────────────────╮
│ source │ /Users/fdncred/src/nushell/crates │
╰────────┴───────────────────────────────────╯
```
No file paths are checked. You could also do this.
```nushell
❯ "crates" | metadata set --datasource-filepath $'a/b/c/d/crates' | metadata
╭────────┬────────────────╮
│ source │ a/b/c/d/crates │
╰────────┴────────────────╯
```
The command name and parameter names are still WIP. We could change
them.
There are currently 3 kinds of metadata in nushell.
```rust
pub enum DataSource {
Ls,
HtmlThemes,
FilePath(PathBuf),
}
```
I've skipped adding `HtmlThemes` because it seems to be specific to our
`to html` command only.
