basho/clique

Clique is a standalone Erlang library designed to provide a structured framework for building command-line interfaces. It enables developers to define command specifications, parse arguments, and manage configuration schemas via integration with Cuttlefish. The system supports flexible output formatting, including human-readable, CSV, and JSON, and replaces the legacy riak\_cli implementation with a modular architecture.

The \riak\_cli\ library has been renamed and refactored into a new, standalone application called \clique\. This change introduces a new \clique.app.src\ manifest and a suite of core modules (\clique\, \clique\_command\, \clique\_config\, \clique\_parser\, etc.) that provide a structured framework for building Erlang command-line interfaces. The new library supports registering commands, configuration callbacks, and usage messages, and includes built-in writers for human-readable, CSV, and JSON output formats. It also integrates with the \cuttlefish\ library for configuration schema loading and validation, replacing the previous \riak\_cli\_manager\ implementation with a more modular architecture centered around \clique\_manager\.

The system now defines a new \clique\_spec\ record in \clique\_specs.hrl\ to specify command-line arguments and flags, including their keys, names, data types, and validators. Additionally, the status type definitions in \clique\_status\_types.hrl\ (renamed from \riak\_cli\_status\_types.hrl\) have been updated to support a new \status\_list\ type, a revised \table\ structure, and a \usage\ type, enabling the CLI to display usage information for missing or invalid flag combinations.

The project has switched its build tooling from Rebar2 to Rebar3, replacing the custom \tools.mk\ and legacy \Makefile\ targets with a streamlined \Makefile\ that delegates to \rebar3\. This change updates the \cuttlefish\ dependency to the \develop\ branch (locking to version 2.0.8 in the config) and enforces a minimum OTP version of 22.0. Additionally, stricter Erlang compiler warnings are enabled, and the application license is now explicitly Apache 2.0.
