🎩 AlfredClient

Simplest Alfred Client that I use my own projects.

Read this blog => Developing alfred5 workflow using alfred5 and python

Usage

pip3 install alfred5 --target=src/libs

• Projects dir structure
  • Put your codes and requirements.txt to src folders
  • Install alfred5 via

    pip3 install alfred5 --target=src/libs

  • Add the top of the main.py

        import sys
    
        sys.path.insert(0, "src/libs")

    • 
    • ~ MindEase Theme
  • If u want to use different --target for ex . use WorkflowClient.run(packagedir=".")
  • Sample of default structure:
    • 
    • ~ MindEase Theme
  • If u install all of requirements, dont need to create requirements.txt file in src
  • If you use vscode, add the code that below to .vscode/settings.json to debug your file
    • 
    • ~ MindEase Theme

    {
        "python.analysis.extraPaths": [
            "./src/libs"
        ],
        "python.analysis.exclude": [
            "./src/libs"
        ]
    }
    

• Via SnippetsClient API create custom snippets programmaically
• Via WorkflowClient API create custom alfred workflow
  • Craete requirements.txt file for your python project to let alfred5 installs them if needed 🙃
  • To install from requirements.txt do all import packages inside main - Use global keyword to access imported packages globally
    • client.query is the query string
    • client.page_count is the page count for pagination results
  • Dont need to add alfred5 to requirements.txt
• Use WorkflowClient.log to log your message to alfred debugger
  • debugging alfred workflow
  • why this project use stderr for all logging operation
• Use WorkflowClient(main, cache=True) method to use caching system
  • Just do it for static (not timebased nor any dynamic stuff) response
  • Db path is db/results.yml also you can see it from workflow debug panel

⭐️ Example Project

from re import sub
from urllib.parse import quote_plus
import sys

sys.path.insert(0, "src/libs")

from alfred5 import WorkflowClient


async def main(client: WorkflowClient):
    # To auto install requirements all import operation must be in here
    global get
    from requests import get

    query = client.query
    client.log(f"my query: {query}")  # use it to see your log in workflow debug panel

    # (use cache=True) Use cache system to quick response instead of old style that below
    # if client.load_cached_response():
    #     return

    char_count = str(len( query))
    word_count = str(len(query.split(" ")))
    line_count = str(len(query.split("\n")))

    encoded_string = quote_plus(query)
    remove_dublication = " ".join(dict.fromkeys(query.split(" ")))

    upper_case = query.upper()
    lower_case = query.lower()
    capitalized = query.capitalize()
    template = sub(r"[a-zA-Z0-9]", "X", query)

    client.add_result(encoded_string, "Encoded", arg=encoded_string)
    client.add_result(remove_dublication, "Remove dublication", arg=remove_dublication)
    client.add_result(upper_case, "Upper Case", arg=upper_case)
    client.add_result(lower_case, "Lower Case", arg=lower_case)
    client.add_result(capitalized, "Capitalized", arg=capitalized)
    client.add_result(template, "Template", arg=template)
    client.add_result(char_count, "Characters", arg=char_count)
    client.add_result(word_count, "Words", arg=word_count)
    client.add_result(line_count, "Lines", arg=line_count)
    
    # (use cache=True) to cache result for query instead of old style that below
    #     if u work with static results (not dynamic; coin price etc.)
    # client.cache_response()  

if __name__ == "__main__":
    WorkflowClient.run(main)  # WorkflowClient.run(main, cache=True)
