* Add subcommand `into filesize` It's currently not possible to convert a number or a string containing a number into a filesize. The only way to create an instance of filesize type today is with a literal in nushell syntax. This commit adds the `into filesize` subcommand so that file sizes can be created from the outputs of programs producing numbers or strings, like standard unix tools. There is a limitation with this - it doesn't currently parse values like `10 MB` or `10 MiB`, it can only look at the number itself. If the desire is there, more flexible parsing can be added. * fixup! Add subcommand `into filesize` * fixup! Add subcommand `into filesize`
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of differnt capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
