⚙️ CLI
======
In version 0.4.0 we introduced an initial command-line interface, with a basic set of features from Gradience UI.
How to launch CLI
-----------------
There are two different ways to launch CLI, one is for Flatpak version of Gradience, and another is for Gradience installed from other sources.
Flatpak approach:
-----------------
If using Gradience as a Flatpak package, launch CLI with:
.. code-block:: console
flatpak run --command=gradience-cli com.github.GradienceTeam.Gradience --help
Alternative approach:
---------------------
Launch CLI with a dedicated command: ``gradience-cli``

Raw JSON output
---------------
Some commands contain local parameter ``--json`` to help developers in implementing interactions with Gradience. Currently it can only be used with a handful of available arguments, but there are plans to extend this feature to all arguments. This parameter when used with supported argument, will output argument result in JSON format.
Example with ``favorites`` command:
.. code-block:: console
$ gradience-cli favorites --json
{"favorites": ["Oblivion", "Peninsula", "Kate", "Yaru Dark", "Cobalt Dark", "Nord Dark"], "amount": 6}
