Authenticate session (janky)

$ niel auth `<line-channel-access-token>`
> # Rewrites `.zshrc` or `.bashrc` with NIEL_AUTH_SESSION appended
$ source ~/.zshrc
> # OR
$ source ~/.bashrc

The next shell environment you open, will now have $NIEL_AUTH_SESSION defined as your inserted line-channel-access-token.

Next step, create a RichMenu with defined YAML-file

$ niel create example.yml
> richmenu-fd5610793084b22a00a8eeb3812d5dd8

The YAML-file needs to follow requirements defined by RichMenu object definitions set by LINE Messaging API documentation for RichMenu object ^[4] found in the appendix. The basics of a RichMenu object definition is as such:

RichMenu Schema

RichMenu {
  areas: [{
    action: {
      altUri.desktop?: string  // optional; utilized when action is "uri".
      clipboardText?: string  // required when action is "clipboard". (character limit: 1,000)
      data?: string // required when action is "datetimepicker", "postback", or "richmenuswitch". (character limit: 300)
      displayText?: string  // optional; utilized when action is "postback".
      initial?: string // optional; utilized when action is "datetimepicker".
      inputOption?: string  // optional; utilized when action is "postback".
      label?: string  // required when action is "camera", "cameraRoll", or "location".
      max?: string  // optional; utilized when action is "datetimepicker".
      min?: string  // optional; utilized when action is "datetimepicker".
      mode?: "date" | "datetime" | "time"  // required when action is "datetimepicker".
      richMenuAliasId?: string  // required when action is "richmenuswitch". Must be valid RichMenu identifier.
      text?: string  // required when action is "message". (character limit: 300)
      type: "camera"
        | "cameraRoll"
        | "clipboard"
        | "datetimepicker"
        | "location"
        | "message"
        | "postback"
        | "richmenuswitch"
        | "uri"
      uri?: string  // required when action is "uri".
    }
    bounds: {
      height: number
      width: number
      x: number
      y: number
    }
  }]
  size: {
    height: number
    width: number
  }
}

See more details on Action objects ^[1], Area objects ^[2], Bounds objects ^[3] and RichMenu objects ^[4] schemas and criteria under the appendix section.

Upload an image for your preferred RichMenu

$ niel image default.png richmenu-fd5610793084b22a00a8eeb3812d5dd8
> True

Set desired RichMenu with image uploaded as the default RichMenu

$ niel set-default richmenu-fd5610793084b22a00a8eeb3812d5dd8
> True

Drop undesired RichMenu

$ niel drop richmenu-fd5610793084b22a00a8eeb3812d5dd8
> True

Unable to repeatedly drop the same RichMenu identified by menu-id

$ niel drop richmenu-fd5610793084b22a00a8eeb3812d5dd8
> False

Disclosures

Feel free to make an issue if any vulnerabilities are found in the project. Also, this command-line interface relies on the following dependencies so if any of them have been found to be vulnerable, please create an issue and clarify as such.

• click - Python composable command line interface toolkit
• httpx - A next generation HTTP client for Python. 🦋
• pydantic - Data validation using Python type hints
• rich - Rich text and beautiful formatting in the terminal

Contributions

Unless LINE Messaging API changes, no planned changes on the project. But if you want to try your hand at the project, here is the recommended set-up for your local development environmnet.

$ pip install poetry
> ...
$ poetry shell
> ...
$ poetry install --with dev  # Install with development dependencies
> ...

This project has two development dependencies as such:

• mypy - Optional static typing for Python
• ruff - An extremely fast Python linter and code formatter, written in Rust.

Recommended usage of said development dependencies.

$ mypy .
> ... # A mypy cache folder will be created on root directory under the name `.mypy_cache`
$ ruff format .
> ... # Python files will be formatted according to the rules defined in `pyproject.toml` with cache under `.ruff`

Roadmap

• Add command to list richmenus as found on this documentation section.
• Add command to check if given YAML-file is a valid richmenu as found on this documentation section.
• Add command to download previously uploaded RichMenu image. as found on this documentaion section.
