# Formidable
|
|
|
|
Web-based - but terminal compatible ! - little form editor using [JSONSchema](https://json-schema.org/) models.
|
|
|
|
**Terminal compatible ?**
|
|
|
|
The generated web UI does not use Javascript and can be used with terminal browsers like [w3m](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W3m) or [lynx](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser)).
|
|
|
|

### URLs
|
|
|
|
Formidable uses URLs to define how to handle schemas/defaults/values.
|
|
|
|
For example, to edit with Firefox a schema (in YAML) from an HTTPS server, while readig default values from `stdin` (in JSON) and using effective values from the local file system (in HCL), outputing updates to `stdout`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo '{}' | FORMIDABLE_BROWSER="firefox" frmd \
|
|
edit
|
|
--schema 'https://example.com/my-schema.yml' \
|
|
--defaults 'stdin://local?format=json' \
|
|
--values 'file:///my/file/absolute/path.hcl' \
|
|
--output 'stdout://local?format=json'
|
|
```
|
|
|
