CiviCRM command line

This program allows you to search your civicrm contacts and print the result, from the comfort of your shell. After you install it globally, it creates a program *civicrm" you can call from the cli.

I wrote it because it's faster to type $civicrm Xavier than going to a browser, authenticating, going to /civicrm and type on the search tool on the top left to get contact detail

you can have several civicrm sites you can query

##installation $sudo npm -g install civicrm-cli

##configuration The configuration file contains all the key and api_keys of your site and is stored in ~/.config/civicrm.json

The needed parameters (site url, key, api_key) are going to be prompted the first time you run the program or when you run $civicrm setup

you can as well provide them from the command line $civicrm setup -s example --server=https://example.org --key=yoursitekey --api_key=theapikeyofyouruser

##usage $civicrm -s example xavier --> return the list of matching contacts 42: Dutoit, Xavier

$civicrm -s example view 42
