PR Type:

Enhancement

---

PR Description:

• Implemented support for STDIN input in server mode, allowing workflows to accept input via POST requests.
• Enhanced server to list available YAML files with their supported HTTP methods (GET or GET,POST).
• Added GitHub Actions for automated testing and building release binaries across multiple platforms.
• Updated documentation to reflect new server capabilities and installation instructions.
• Provided examples demonstrating server functionality and STDIN input usage.

PR Main Files Walkthrough:

files:

• cmd/process.go: Added logic to check for and read data from STDIN, storing it for use in processing YAML files. If STDIN data is present, it is set as the initial output for the processor.
• cmd/serve.go: Introduced a function to check if a YAML file uses STDIN as input. Modified the server to allow POST requests for such files and updated the list endpoint to show supported methods for each file.
• utils/input/handler.go: Added a new input type for STDIN and a method to handle STDIN input, storing it in the handler's input list.
• utils/processor/dsl.go: Added a method to set the last output of the processor, enabling initialization with STDIN data.
• .github/workflows/release.yml: Created a GitHub Actions workflow for building and releasing binaries. It includes steps for testing, version bumping, and creating release artifacts for multiple platforms.
• README.md: Updated to include new server capabilities, installation instructions for pre-built binaries, and details on using POST requests with the server.
• examples/README.md: Added descriptions and usage instructions for new server examples, specifically focusing on STDIN input handling.
• examples/server-examples/stdin-example.yaml: Provided a new example YAML file demonstrating the use of STDIN input, which can be processed via POST requests to the server.

User Description:

• when running in serve mode, comanda now accepts input for those workflow yaml files which indicate STDIN as the first step input
• adjusted the parser and handler so that this also unlocks 'pipe to comanda' in the command line - e.g., cat text.txt|commanda process stdin-example.yaml
• added documentation for the server feature
• added github actions for release builds
• mentioned the builds in the README

In the hasStdinInput function, consider logging or handling the error from yaml.Unmarshal to provide better insights into potential parsing issues. [medium]
