precious - a minimum kind of ephemeris
Anything less we couldn't do astrology with.
Use eden(1) for a better cli experience. Better for both precious-json(7) input options and human-readable output. Either of which could be used individually as well. See stream examples / usage next.
Running precious from the command line (instead of programming JavaScript) is not the most efficient nor the most convenient, though it's ok too. The commands can tab-complete.
Some precious-json(7) must be provided in one of three ways:
-, s or stream input though unix pipes - all the rest can be covered
with this approach too, see the double examples for equivalents.
eden pre | precious -
f or file followed by a json file <path>
precious f test/io/for/example.json
cat test/io/for/example.json | precious -
o or object given a json string <'input'>, even if just {}
precious o {}
echo {} | precious -
The streams way could do it all, with just a few extra characters typing. Though perhaps not using Windows.
Here is how eden can help by not only piping input, but also making the output
more readable, streams are awesome:
eden pre | precious - | eden eat
This is the equivalent of eden know. Pipe any of the precious examples into
eden eat - and feast on what could be seen, at least.
A global eden is automatically available through postinstall.
Go ahead and try it.
This is also a man-page and can be read with any one of:
precious
man precious
precious ? 1
Help for precious-json(7) is also available using these:
precious help json
man precious-json
See Index(7) or precious ? for the precious
README.
