Title: Message Title

Ryan Senior created an issue   PuppetDB / PDB-2480 Spike an exploratory CLI solution Issue Type: New Feature Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2016/02/29 2:55 PM Fix Versions: PDB CLI 0.2.0 Priority: Normal Reporter: Ryan Senior The specifics I think are a little squishy here. The goal of the feature ultimately is to allow a user to explore their way to constructing a PQL query. The idea would be something along the lines of a user typing: puppet query <tab> And the "auto suggest" would be a list of queryable entites (nodes|resources|facts|reports|...) Then the user would type n<tab> and get something like: puppet query nodes { (certname|last_report_timestamp|catalog_timestmap|...) } Although this interaction isn't the exact target, the target is for a user somewhat familiar with puppet terminology to be able to construct a query similar to how they would via a UI based PQL query builder, but from the command line. Something autocomplete-ish might be a good start, but we'd need to figure out if it would provide enough for this. The other end of the spectrum here would be a REPL that would give us better hooks into the user interaction.
