Adapt Plugins for Execution in Visual Navigation Mode πŸ–₯️ #3

Description:

In the visual navigation mode, initialized via the start command, users can manage the framework without command-line input, using only arrow keys and shortcuts. This mode will allow users to run plugins in a more user-friendly manner. However, unlike the advanced command-line mode where users specify all execution details, the visual mode requires plugins to have pre-configured values that will be auto-loaded into the argument parser workspace. This will enable users to execute plugins with minimal input, only specifying the scope while other execution details are pre-configured.

Technical Details:

Adapt the YAML configuration of all plugins to include pre-configured parameters.
Implement functionality to auto-load these parameters into the argument parser workspace when a plugin is executed in visual mode. Ensure that the visual mode allows users to execute plugins by simply pressing 'r', with minimal input required.
Current Visual Mode Example:

 * β › β › _^_ . (( ( ____.Β΄β””β”˜β”`.____ )) ) ) * * `.β žβ “β Ž.Β΄ . |β”‚β”‚|| _ _ \\/imana<v0.8> ||-ramewΓΈrk |β”‚β”‚|| about ◉◍ About the framework flush ◍◉ Remove a recorded resource guide β—β—Ž Show plugin usage examples and args info β—β—Ž Show information about plugins list β—β—Ž List available resources load ◉◍ Load a recorded session (post-analysis) run β—Žβ—Ž Run a resource, plugin or case start β—Žβ—Ž Start Vimana in a interactive mode vimana start 

Proposed Solution:

  • YAML Configuration Adaptation: Modify the YAML configuration files of all plugins to include pre-configured parameters that can be auto-loaded.
  • Parameter Autoloading: Implement functionality to auto-load these parameters into the argument parser workspace when a plugin is executed in visual mode.
  • User Experience Simplification: Ensure that users can execute plugins by pressing 'r', with minimal input required to specify the scope.

Example of YAML Configuration Adaptation:

plugin_name: example_plugin description: Example plugin description parameters: - name: param1 type: string default: value1 - name: param2 type: int default: 10 autoload: true 

Benefits:

  • Provides a user-friendly interface for executing plugins in visual mode.
  • Simplifies the process of running plugins with pre-configured parameters.
  • Abstracts command-line details, making the framework accessible to users with varying levels of technical expertise.

Future Considerations:

  • Explore additional features for the visual navigation mode, such as customizable shortcuts and themes.
  • Consider integrating with a graphical user interface (GUI) framework for enhanced visual management.
