Enhance Response Text Styling

[sk364]

Responses from various options require styling as to enhance the UI/UX.

Example (output of --search option):

This prints out a table with headers as capitals. Could print out as bold, title-cased. Also, in rows it could print out the Code in different color.

NAME                                                 CODE       SUCCESSFUL SUBMISSION   ACCURACY   

MEX-ception                                          TOTEM      7                       32.26

Hi there! I would like to work on this issue. Could you please give me a elaborated description of what this issue is about?

[sk364]

@sreesh-mallya Check the issue description.

[sk364]

Thinking of using library rich to prettify the responses.

[sreesh-mallya]

Great! Would this be of any use here? Should I keep working, or are you taking a look? @sk364. I've started going through trying to understand how it all works.

[sk364]

Halo looks good to me. We can use it.

Sure, you can keep working. I will be taking a look later.

@sk364 is @sreesh-mallya still working on this, or could I give this a whirl?

[sreesh-mallya]

@aUsefulMethod I've started to work on this, but haven't done much in the past week. @sk364 please make the call. I can probably get this done this weekend, or if you want @aUsefulMethod to go ahead with this, that's fine by me too. :)

[sk364]

@sreesh-mallya can you describe the changes that you are doing? @aUsefulMethod, if interested, can either fill the gaps or extend it.

[sreesh-mallya]

@sk364 I'm not sure if I've done something very significant yet. All I've done is used rich.table to print out the search results in helpers.print_response_util. I need to check the tests and see what lines of code is not required anymore, since rich does all the work for creating and printing the table. I was also thinking of using halo as mentioned before.

[sreesh-mallya]

I've some suggestions too: How about using subcommands instead of using options for logging in, getting the problem description, listing contests, and submitting code?

Maybe something like codechefcli login to login, or codechefcli problem WEICOM to get the problem description, and so on. We can use click or Typer, I've found them easier to use than argparse.

@sk364 what do you think?

[sk364]

@sreesh-mallya yeah, we can use subcommands. You can create a separate issue for it.
