kato-cli

Kato::Cli

Post to a kato.im room from the command line.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'kato-cli'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install kato-cli

Configuration

At minimum, kato needs to be given a list of available rooms. This is specified in ~/.kato.yml. Provide nicknames for rooms to access them more easily when posting. For example,

room-list:
  dev: de8cba109388dee98498
  meetings: 3d809831aa8481177dcce

defines a room called dev with the room id de8cba109388dee98498 and another room called meetings with room id 3d809831aa8481177dcce.

This allows you to specify the room by its nickname when invoking the kato command:

$ kato --room dev

You can also configure a default room to send messages to as well as a default display name.

room: dev
user: tommcdo

Usage

kato [-u|--user USERNAME] [-f|--renderer text|markdown|code] [-r|--room ROOM]

• -u or --user specifies the display name to send the message from
• -f or --renderer specifies how the message will be rendered (text, markdown or code)
• -r or --room specifies the room (by its nickname as set in ~/.kato.yml) to send the message to

The message will be read from standard input. You can either pipe another program's output into kato or type it into the command line, followed by the end-of-file signal (usually Ctrl-D).

Vim integration

Check out kato.vim if you'd like to send code snippets directly from inside Vim.
