influx CLI remote completions

Open jsteenb2 opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Proposal: Like to add the ability to use an existing profile to pull remote data for autocompletion in the shell.

Example:

influx bucket ls --id=
foo_bucket      FOO_BUCKET_ID       Description of foo bucket
bar_bucket      BAR_BUCKET_ID       Description of bar bucket

and user can tab complete to select the bucket they are interested in and the id/name/field is filled in by the autocompletions

Current behavior: manually have to copy pasta data into the shell

Desired behavior: I want choices provided for me

Alternatives considered: leave it be

Use case: Dramatically improves the usability of the influx cli tool
