Configure

Visit Flomo Settings to obtain the API then put it into flomo-cli:

A configuration file named .flomo-cli.config will be save in your home directory with the default permission of 0600.

Save memo

Basic

Just type a memo with the save command into the flomo command:

flomo save ${Your memo content}

And that's it!

Using shell pipes

Just like usual command line programs, you can use command like cat with the shell pipe to save an entire file into flomo:

cat memo.txt | flomo

Editor mode

Instead of input the memo with the command, you can use editors to compose the memo:

# Open vim to compose the memo.
flomo vim 

# Open neovim to compose the memo.
flomo nvim 

# Open emacs to compose the memo.
flomo emacs

Currently, the flomo-cli only support vim/neovim/emacs, the other inputs will trigger an error due to the security consideration.

Clear the temporary files

How is it possible to use the editors to compose? Well, the answer is a bit tricky. When the editor command is received, the flomo-cli will invoke the specified editor to open a temporary file under ~/.flomo-tmp and wait until the editor's job is done. Once you quit the editor, the flomo-cli will try to load the content of the temporary file so that the input could be sent to the flomo, the file mentioned before will be deleted then. However, if the editor is invoked concurrently or the flomo-cli instance is terminated unexpectedly, the temporary file will not be deleted and occupy the disk space. To solve this issue, just run the command below to clear all the useless temporary files:

flomo clear

Setup alias

In case of unexpected saving actions, flomo-cli force to use save keyword to send memo to flomo currently. You can setup an alias in your .zshrc/.bashrc etc. to simplify the command:

alias flomo="flomo save"
