Behold! The Happy Path To Captivate Your Users With Stunning CLI Apps!

Jorge Vásquez

I'm a Software Developer, mostly focused on the backend. I've had the chance to work with several technologies and programming languages across different industries, such as Telco, AdTech, Streaming and Online Education. I'm always looking to improve my skills, finding new and better ways to solve business problems.

Above all, I love Functional Programming. I'm convinced it can help to make better software, and I'm excited about languages and libraries that are making FP more accessible to developers

As developers, we often have to create command-line applications, which expose APIs, workflows or data processing functionality in a way that is accessible to scripts and non-developers. Although a simple command-line application can be created by only using Array[String], such applications lack features that users take for granted, including:

Flexible subcommands
Options
Arguments
Validations
Documentation pages

In this presentation at Functional Scala 2022, I've shown how to easily build beautiful command-line applications that your users will love. Using ZIO CLI, your command-line applications will support:

All types of command-line parameters
Perform both Pure and Impure validation
Generate beautiful short and long documentation pages
Support auto-correction plus auto-completion

Discover how you can have fun creating beautiful command-line apps that delight your users!
