A Python library for implementing slash commands with rich autocompletion support.

## Features

- Simple command registration system
- Rich autocompletion support with multiple providers
- Type-safe command and context handling:
  - Generic typing for context data
  - Type-checked command parameters
  - Safe data access patterns
- Built-in completers for:
  - File paths
  - Choice lists
  - Keyword arguments
  - Multi-value inputs
  - Callback based lists
  - Environment variables
- Extensible completion provider system
- Modern Python features (requires Python 3.12+)
- UI framework integration:
  - Textual support
  - prompt_toolkit support
- Built-in help system


**Slashed** could be compared to cmd2, both providing interactive command systems with completion and history support,
but **Slashed** offers a modern async-first design with rich (generic) type hints, improved autocompletion,
and flexible UI framework integration for both terminal (prompt-toolkit) and TUI (Textual) applications.
Unlike cmd2's tight coupling to its own REPL, **Slashed** is framework-agnostic and provides multiple ways to define commands,
making it more adaptable to different application needs while maintaining a clean, type-safe API.

## Installation

```bash
pip install slashed
```

## Quick Example

```python
from dataclasses import dataclass
from slashed import SlashedCommand, CommandStore, CommandContext
from slashed.completers import ChoiceCompleter


# Define app state that will be available to commands
@dataclass
class AppState:
    greeting_count: int = 0


# Define a command with explicit parameters and typed context
class GreetCommand(SlashedCommand):
    """Greet someone with a custom greeting."""

    name = "greet"
    category = "demo"

    async def execute_command(
        self,
        ctx: CommandContext[AppState],
        name: str = "World",
        greeting: str = "Hello",
    ):
        """Greet someone.

        Args:
            ctx: Command context
            name: Who to greet
            greeting: Custom greeting to use
        """
        state = ctx.get_data()  # Type-safe access to app state
        state.greeting_count += 1
        await ctx.print(
            f"{greeting}, {name}! "
            f"(Greeted {state.greeting_count} times)"
        )

    def get_completer(self) -> ChoiceCompleter:
        """Provide name suggestions."""
        return ChoiceCompleter({
            "World": "Default greeting target",
            "Everyone": "Greet all users",
            "Team": "Greet the team"
        })

# Create store and register the command
store = CommandStore()
store.register_command(GreetCommand)

# Create context with app state
ctx = store.create_context(data=AppState())

# Execute a command
await store.execute_command("greet Phil --greeting Hi", ctx)
```

## Command Definition Styles

Slashed offers two different styles for defining commands, each with its own advantages:

### Traditional Style (using Command class)

```python
from slashed import Command, CommandContext

async def add_worker(ctx: CommandContext, args: list[str], kwargs: dict[str, str]):
    """Add a worker to the pool."""
    worker_id = args[0]
    host = kwargs.get("host", "localhost")
    port = kwargs.get("port", "8080")
    await ctx.print(f"Adding worker {worker_id} at {host}:{port}")

cmd = Command(
    name="add-worker",
    description="Add a worker to the pool",
    execute_func=add_worker,
    usage="<worker_id> --host <host> --port <port>",
    category="workers",
)
```

#### Advantages:
- Quick to create without inheritance
- All configuration in one place
- Easier to create commands dynamically
- More flexible for simple commands
- Familiar to users of other command frameworks

### Declarative Style (using SlashedCommand)

```python
from slashed import SlashedCommand, CommandContext

class AddWorkerCommand(SlashedCommand):
    """Add a worker to the pool."""

    name = "add-worker"
    category = "workers"

    async def execute_command(
        self,
        ctx: CommandContext,
        worker_id: str,          # required parameter
        host: str = "localhost", # optional with default
        port: int = 8080,       # optional with default
    ):
        """Add a new worker to the pool.

        Args:
            ctx: Command context
            worker_id: Unique worker identifier
            host: Worker hostname
            port: Worker port number
        """
        await ctx.print(f"Adding worker {worker_id} at {host}:{port}")
```

#### Advantages:
- Type-safe parameter handling
- Automatic usage generation from parameters
- Help text generated from docstrings
- Better IDE support with explicit parameters
- More maintainable for complex commands
- Validates required parameters automatically
- Natural Python class structure
- Parameters are self-documenting

### When to Use Which?

Use the **traditional style** when:
- Creating simple commands with few parameters
- Generating commands dynamically
- Wanting to avoid class boilerplate
- Need maximum flexibility

Use the **declarative style** when:
- Building complex commands with many parameters
- Need type safety and parameter validation
- Want IDE support for parameters
- Documentation is important
- Working in a larger codebase

### Alternative Registration Methods

#### Using the Command Decorator

```python
@store.command(
    category="tools",
    usage="<pattern> [--type type]",
    completer=PathCompleter(files=True),
    condition=lambda: find_spec("sqlalchemy") is not None,
)
async def search(ctx: CommandContext, pattern: str, *, type: str = "any"):
    """Search for files in current directory."""
    await ctx.print(f"Searching for {pattern}")
```

#### Using add_command

```python
# Direct function
store.add_command(
    "search",
    search_func,
    category="tools",
    completer=PathCompleter(files=True),
)

# Import path
store.add_command(
    "query",
    "myapp.commands.database.execute_query",
    category="database",
    condition=lambda: find_spec("sqlalchemy") is not None,
)
```

#### Using CommandRegistry

For cases where you need to define commands before initializing the store (e.g., in module-level code),
you can use `CommandRegistry` to collect commands and register them later:

```python
# commands.py
from slashed import CommandRegistry
from slashed.completers import PathCompleter

registry = CommandRegistry()

@registry.command(
    category="tools",
    completer=PathCompleter(files=True)
)
async def search(ctx: CommandContext, pattern: str):
    """Search for files in current directory."""
    await ctx.print(f"Searching for {pattern}")

@registry.command(
    category="tools",
    condition=lambda: find_spec("sqlalchemy") is not None
)
async def query(ctx: CommandContext, sql: str):
    """Execute database query."""
    await ctx.print(f"Running query: {sql}")

# app.py
from slashed import CommandStore
from .commands import registry

store = CommandStore()
registry.register_to(store)  # Register all collected commands
```


## Generic Context Example

```python
from dataclasses import dataclass
from slashed import Command, CommandStore, CommandContext


# Define your custom context data
@dataclass
class AppContext:
    user_name: str
    is_admin: bool


# Command that uses the typed context
async def admin_cmd(
    ctx: CommandContext[AppContext],
    args: list[str],
    kwargs: dict[str, str],
):
    """Admin-only command."""
    state = ctx.get_data()  # Type-safe access to context data
    if not state.is_admin:
        await ctx.print("Sorry, admin access required!")
        return
    await ctx.print(f"Welcome admin {state.user_name}!")


# Create and register the command
admin_command = Command(
    name="admin",
    description="Admin-only command",
    execute_func=admin_cmd,
    category="admin",
)

# Setup the store with typed context
store = CommandStore()
store.register_command(admin_command)

# Create context with your custom data
ctx = store.create_context(
    data=AppContext(user_name="Alice", is_admin=True)
)

# Execute command with typed context
await store.execute_command("admin", ctx)
```

## Signal-Based Event System

Slashed uses Psygnal to provide a robust event system for monitoring command execution and output. This makes it easy to track command usage, handle errors, and integrate with UIs.

```python
from slashed import CommandStore

store = CommandStore()

# Monitor command execution
@store.command_executed.connect
def on_command_executed(event):
    """Handle command execution results."""
    if event.success:
        print(f"Command '{event.command}' succeeded")
    else:
        print(f"Command '{event.command}' failed: {event.error}")

# Monitor command output
@store.output.connect
def on_output(message: str):
    """Handle command output."""
    print(f"Output: {message}")

# Monitor command registry changes
@store.command_events.adding.connect
def on_command_added(name: str, command):
    print(f"New command registered: {name}")

# Monitor context registry changes
@store.context_events.adding.connect
def on_context_added(type_: type, context):
    print(f"New context registered: {type_.__name__}")
```

### Available Signals

- `command_executed`: Emitted after command execution (success/failure)
- `output`: Emitted for all command output
- `command_events`: EventedDict signals for command registry changes
- `context_events`: EventedDict signals for context registry changes

The signal system provides a clean way to handle events without tight coupling, making it ideal for UI integration and logging.


## UI Integration Examples

Slashed provides integrations for both prompt_toolkit and Textual:

### Prompt Toolkit REPL

```python
from prompt_toolkit import PromptSession
from slashed import CommandStore
from slashed.prompt_toolkit_completer import PromptToolkitCompleter


async def main():
    """Run a simple REPL with command completion."""
    # Initialize command store
    store = CommandStore()
    await store.initialize()

    # Create session with command completion
    completer = PromptToolkitCompleter(store=store)
    session = PromptSession(completer=completer, complete_while_typing=True)

    print("Type /help to list commands. Press Ctrl+D to exit.")

    while True:
        try:
            text = await session.prompt_async(">>> ")
            if text.startswith("/"):
                await store.execute_command_with_context(text[1:])
        except EOFError:  # Ctrl+D
            break

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import asyncio
    asyncio.run(main())
```

## Type-Safe Context System

Slashed provides a powerful context system that automatically matches commands with their required context data based on type hints. This allows for type-safe access to application state while keeping commands decoupled from specific implementations.

### Basic Usage

```python
from dataclasses import dataclass
from slashed import SlashedCommand, CommandStore, CommandContext

# Define your contexts
@dataclass
class DatabaseContext:
    """Database connection context."""
    connection: str
    timeout: int = 30

@dataclass
class UIContext:
    """UI context."""
    theme: str = "dark"

# Commands specify their required context type
class QueryCommand(SlashedCommand):
    """Execute a database query."""
    name = "query"

    async def execute_command(
        self,
        ctx: CommandContext[DatabaseContext],  # Type hint determines required context
        query: str,
    ):
        db = ctx.get_data()  # Properly typed as DatabaseContext
        await ctx.print(f"Executing {query} with timeout {db.timeout}")

# Register contexts and commands
store = CommandStore()
store.register_context(DatabaseContext("mysql://localhost"))
store.register_context(UIContext("light"))

# Commands automatically get their matching context
await store.execute_command_auto("/query select * from users")
```



### Textual App

```python
from dataclasses import dataclass

from slashed import ChoiceCompleter, SlashedCommand
from slashed.textual_adapter import SlashedApp
from textual.containers import Container, VerticalScroll
from textual.widgets import Input, Label


@dataclass
class AppState:
    """Application state available to commands."""
    user_name: str


class GreetCommand(SlashedCommand):
    """Greet someone."""
    name = "greet"
    category = "demo"

    async def execute_command(self, ctx: CommandContext[AppState], name: str = "World"):
        state = ctx.get_data()
        await ctx.print(f"Hello, {name}! (from {state.user_name})")

    def get_completer(self) -> ChoiceCompleter:
        return ChoiceCompleter({"World": "Everyone", "Team": "The Team"})


class DemoApp(SlashedApp[AppState, None]):
    """App with slash commands and completion."""

    def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
        # Command input with completion
        suggester = self.get_suggester()
        yield Container(Input(id="command-input", suggester=suggester))
        # Output areas
        yield VerticalScroll(id="main-output")
        yield Label(id="status")

        # Connect outputs to widgets
        self.bind_output("main", "#main-output", default=True)
        self.bind_output("status", "#status")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    state = AppState(user_name="Admin")
    app = DemoApp(data=state, commands=[GreetCommand])
    app.run()
```

Both integrations support:
- Command completion
- Command history
- Typed context data
- Rich output formatting


## Command Routing System

Slashed provides a flexible routing system that allows organizing commands into different contexts with explicit permissions:

```python
from dataclasses import dataclass
from slashed import CommandRouter, CommandStore, SlashedCommand

# Define contexts for different subsystems
@dataclass
class GlobalContext:
    """Global application context."""
    env: str = "production"

@dataclass
class DatabaseContext:
    """Database connection context."""
    connection: str
    timeout: int = 30

# Create store and router
store = CommandStore()
router = CommandRouter[GlobalContext, DatabaseContext](
    global_context=GlobalContext(),
    commands=store,
)

# Add route with restricted commands
router.add_route(
    "db",
    DatabaseContext("mysql://localhost"),
    description="Database operations",
    allowed_commands={"query", "migrate"},  # Only allow specific commands
)

# Execute commands with proper routing
await router.execute("help", output)  # Uses global context
await router.execute("@db query 'SELECT 1'", output)  # Uses DB context

# Temporary context switching
with router.temporary_context(db_context):
    await router.execute("query 'SELECT 1'", output)  # No prefix needed
```

The routing system provides:
- Route-specific command permissions
- Automatic context switching
- Command prefix completion (@db, @fs, etc.)
- Type-safe context handling
- Temporary context overrides
- Clear separation of subsystems

This makes it easy to organize commands into logical groups while maintaining type safety and proper access control.
