URL Inputs

Accept generic URLs for inputs

• Proposal Status: wip

• Issue Number: 263

• Proposal Doc: url-inputs.md

Overview

At one point requests was removed from tackle as a requirement which didn't allow the use of http inputs. This proposal would revert that and allow calling http for both cli / hook inputs.

It would work against:

• Providers

  • Any url to a zip

• Files

  • Any url to a tackle file

    • Would need to have some file type detector (ie yaml vs toml etc)

It would be used in:

• CLI inputs

• Hooks

  • tackle

  • yaml / json / toml

  • Default for starting with http, ie call->: https://...

    • This would be a simple get

  • import

    • Would be a faster way of importing a hook

    • Does not get version controlled unless the source had that built in

Examples

tackle <some GH raw url>
