Summary

The app now supports one CLI in runtime. There are times when users want to allow multiple CLIs to be shown on the page at the same time so that one will not have to run multiple processes at the same time or restart the app with different CLI configs over and over.

Basic Example

By calling the app like so:

cli2ui cli1.yaml cli2.yaml cli3.yaml

There should be three CLIs available on the rendered page, and it is user's choice to invoke any on them.

Since this feature needs a lot of changes, thus the following checklist is proposed:

• Add session.CLIName string
• GetOrCreateSession add cliName string as parameter, change template config.Form to templates map[string]config.Form
• Change BaseUI.FormTemplate to BaseUI.FormTemplates map[string]*config.Form
• When GetOrCreate, if cliName != s.CLIName, update session.Form with a new clone of the corresponding form
• On UpdateSubcommand, send CLIName
• Update page.go accordingly

Modification to this plan may be made at any time without notification if trivial.
