bashwithnails - a Bash framework written just for fun with testing, dependency management & packaging

Bash With Nails

Bash With Nails (rhymes with ruby on rails) is a bash framework written for fun and profit.

I'm kidding about the fun and profit part.

It has:

loading of bash function collections in separate "modules".
dependency management and automatic loading of relevant "modules".
separate "modules" can have separate "namespaces", prefixing function names and non-global variables, e.g. mymodule::myfunction.
if you want to refer to your own namespace, you can use this::myfunction in your module.
named function parameters, e.g. function myfunction(a b c) { echo "$a $b $c"; }.
weak OOP support, e.g. oop::new oop_demo '1 2' 'obj_one'; oop::new oop_demo '3 4' 'obj_two'; oop::call 'obj_one' sum ""; oop::call 'obj_two' sum ""; oop::destroy 'obj_two' ''
modules can be downloaded from the repository (as seen in sample_repo folder)
tests of unit kind, kind of :) (yes, it works with travis)

see Docs or clone and run for more information.

How to run

./app.sh

and see all the magic described above happen.

Because

So it's only natural you want nails with that. Or you can keep on bashing your thumbs - it's a free world!
