grizzcli

grizzcli is a command line tool to work with templates and the bear mac app.

Installation

npm install grizzcli --global

or just download or clone the repository and execute

npm install . --global

Usage

To create a new note from a template just type

grizzcli new <template-name>

or

grizzcli <template-name>

Configuration

grizzcli is looking for templates in the ~/.bear-templates directory. All templates have to be .md markdown or .hbs handlebars files.

Placeholders

Additionally to the normal markdown markup it is possible to use some placeholders which can be used with {{ }} syntax.

E.g.

# Today is {{weekday}}

Default Placeholders

The following placeholders are supported:

• day with leading zero (e.g. 24 or 03)
• month with leading zero (e.g. 12, or 01)
• monthName (e.g. Dezember (it's german for now))
• year (e.g. 1990)
• hour (e.g. 9)
• minute (e.g. 1)
• seconds (e.g. 20)
• weekday (e.g. Montag (it's german for now))

Custom Placeholders

There is also the possibility to add custom placeholders to templates. By adding the placeholders in the following form

grizzcli new ticket --id 1234

it is possible to use {{id}} in the ticket.md template. To use multi-word values for the placeholder it is neccessary to use quotation marks (e.g. --id "my id"). It is also possible to overwrite default placeholders with this technique. So if it is neccessary to use english weekdays use

grizzcli new diary --weekday Monday
