## Commands

### Arguments

```sh
fruits=("apple" "banana" "coconut")
bautils arguments count -- $fruits
# Outputs: 3
```

### Date

```sh

bautils date now -f '%F %T'
```

### Directory

```sh
# Checks whether a directory exists, returning an exit code of 1
# when it doesn't. This specifically checks for a directory so if

bautils directory exists 'source'
```

### File

```sh
# Checks whether a file exists, with the same logic as the
# `directory exists` command.
bautils file exists 'Cargo.toml'

# Returns metadata of a file, for example `--modified` returning
# when the file was last modified.
bautils file metadata 'Cargo.toml' --modified

# Returns parts of a file name.
bautils file parts 'source/main.rs' --directory # Outputs: source
bautils file parts 'source/main.rs' --basename  # Outputs: main
bautils file parts 'source/main.rs' --extension # Outputs: rs
```

### Log

```sh
# Logs data to a file, creating the file if it doesn't exist.
bautils log -- 'The data to log!'

# The log file can be specified with `-f` or `--file`.
bautils log -f 'logfile.txt' -- 'More data!'
```

### Match

```sh
# Matches a regular expression, returning an exit code of 1 if it
# is succesful.
bautils match regex --pattern '\d' '123'
```

## Development

With [Nix flakes](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes) and [direnv](https://direnv.net/) installed and enabled, all the required dependencies are automatically loaded from [`shell.nix`](./shell.nix). Then [cargo-make](https://sagiegurari.github.io/cargo-make/) can be used to build, deploy and lint the code. The available tasks are all described in the [`Makefile.toml`](Makefile.toml) configuration.
