Inspecting data from the shell!

Rasa Open Source

Would it be very hard to inspect original data from the shell. Let me give example :

> /show intent greet
 hi
 hello
 howdy
 ....

#pipe is grep
> /show i greet | he
hello

#!  greps the story name i.e. matches "happy path"
>/show story !happy 
* greet
  - utter_greet
.....

#show story ..
>/s s sad
...

#show 
>/s utter !bye
Bye

#and now for the most important ...resolving some stuff
>?show story !happy
* hello
  - Hey! how are you?
* fine
  - Great, carry on !

you get the gist …

Interesting idea! What exactly would be the use case for that? Can’t you always take a look at the data itself?

3

you don’t leave the shell. when the files become big it is harder to find what you are looking for. you dont need to think which file to look for.

I may be willing to write a class that does the grepping … if it is easier to integrate it in thee shell

@tyd @Tobias_Wochinger What do you think?

5

you don’t leave the shell. when the files become big

would you also want to edit in the shell right away or just view it?

6

just view it … it will need retraining anyway if you change it ! will there be benefit of editing ?

should I create a standalone sample class that provides an example API … i.e. you can just integrate it into the shell !!! just wondering

here is quick example : (I’m slurping the files into arrays)

shell_cmds.py (2.3 KB)

In [72]:  from shell_cmds import *

In [73]: c = ShellCmds('nlu.md','stories.md','../domain.yml')

In [74]: print c.find_utter('example')
(63, '  utter_example:\n')

In [75]: print c.show_utter('example')
  utter_example:
  - text: "example : {etype}"

In [80]: print c.show_story('code example')
## code example
* example
 - action_example
* explain
 - utter_explain
* gotit
 - utter_gotit


In [78]: print c.show_story('code example', resolve=True)
## code example
* example
 - action_example
* explain
 - "explain : {etype}" 
* gotit
 - "gotit : {etype}"


In [79]: print c.show_intent('example')
## intent: example
- [assign](etype) example
- [sum](etype) example
- [multiplication](etype) example
- [conditional](etype)
- [loop](etype) example
- [eqvseq2](etype) example
- show me [assignment](etype:assign) example
- can you tell me [loop](etype) example
- do you have [sum](etype) code example
- i'm looking for code example of [assignment](etype:assign)


In [81]: c.grep('domain', 'howdy')
Out[81]: [[34, '  - text: howdy !\n']]

In [83]: print c.show_intent('greet')
## intent:greet
- hey
- hello
- hi
- good morning
- good evening
- hey there
- howdy


In [84]: print c.show_intent('greet', 'h')
- hey
- hello
- hi
- hey there
- howdy
