basil2yaml

Converts Basil .recipe files to Paprika YAML format.

Basil .recipe files can be extracted using a zip program from a Basil export file that has been exported to Dropbox or email.

Building

This project uses Swift 4 and the Swift Package Manager to build.

To compile:

swift build -c release --static-swift-stdlib

The compiled binary canbe found at .build/release/basil2yaml.

Usage

Execute basil2yaml on its own or with a subcommand and the --help option to get help. The application provides two subcommands:

• convert
• combine

Note that Paprika only accepts files with the extension .yml.

convert command

The convert command converts one or more Basil .recipe files to Paprika YAML format. It supports the following options:

• --output-dir – Output YAML files into the specified directory (default: current directory).
• --use-recipe-name – Use the actual name of the recipe as the YAML file name, instead of simply appending .yml to the original .recipe file name.
• --exclude-images – Don’t include images in the YAML files.
• --combine – Combine all the recipes into a single YAML file in list form, writing the output to the console.

Examples:

basil2yaml --output-dir converted/ --use-recipe-name basil/*.recipe

basil2yaml --combine basil/*.recipe > all.yml

combine command

The combine command combines multiple Paprika YAML files into a single YAML file in list form. It supports the following options:

• --output-file – The filename to write the combined recipes to (default: all.yml)

Examples:

basil2yaml combine converted/*.yml
