CLImber

CLImber is a ASP.NET web application designed to be run as a configurable server, which will convert incoming REST calls into commands on a command-line interface available on the server.

A CLImber configuration looks like this:

shell: bash
endpoints:
  - name: List Files
    route: /ls/(.*)
    method: GET
    command: ls -la $1
    responses:
    - condition:
        exitCode: 0
      responseCode: 400
      responseBody: {
        "message": "unable to process request"
      }
    - responseCode: 200
      responseBody: {
        "outputText": "{{stdout}}"
      }

The above config will create a server which will listen for GET requests on /ls/{name} and will execute the bash command ls -la {name}. If the command produces an exit code of 0, the server will respond with a 400 (Bad Request) status code and the following JSON body:

{
  "message": "unable to process request"
}

Otherwise (if the exit code is non-zero), the service will return a 200 (OK) status code and a JSON body containing an outputText property with the value containing whatever was written to stdout during the execution of the ls -la {name} command.

This project is in MVP. Future feature work is possible, but not guarenteed.
