A collection of CLI tools for manipulating and exporting Bricklink parts lists from Studio

Hello there 👋

bricklink-partslist-tools's Issues

Implement an "add extras" operation

This operation would add extras of certain parts to the parts list, so things wouldn't go wrong when a seller messes up and short changes you a single piece. It would probably take a few options:

• The number of extras to add
  • Should this be proportional to the number of that part in the list? For example, if you're already buying 50 1x1 plates, it might make sense to get more than one extra.
• A maximum cost per part, because it doesn't make sense to buy an extra or two of some hilariously expensive part

Refresh the README

• Add examples for each command
• Refresh the description so it matches the repo itself
• Tweak the "CLI Conditions" wording?

Implement tests

There's no reason not to at this point, especially when they can be used to drive further feature development.

Support exporting 'any' color when building a simple csv

Rebrickable has a nice feature where you can assign parts to be any color, and it'll select the cheapest one when building a buy order. I think it'd be neat to have the ability to map a user defined range of colors into that 'any' color that Rebrickable expects. Maybe something along the lines of --any-color red, and the option itself could be used multiple times for multiple mappings.

Some considerations:

• Do any other popular services support these wildcard colors?
• Is there an appropriate way to specify the 'any' color on Rebrickable? I've noticed that if you don't format the color correctly, it'll default to any color.

Add note to `simple-csv` generation that when using Rebrickable, it requires it to be set as a Bricklink import

Refactor to use proper set operations

Ditch the missing-parts and merge operations, and implement union, intersection, and difference.

Make the output after an operation has completed more obvious as to what has changed

For example, after a difference operation, maybe list the resulting total/unique parts counts, and compare them to the original?

Add explicit `exists=True` check to input parts lists

Have explicit export options instead of generic formats

Basically, the two big sites that I use are Bricklink and Rebrickable. They both have import/export features on them that specify what all of the formats they support are (ex: Brickstore, Rebrickable, flat files, etc). With that knowledge, instead of specifying the output format like -f simple-csv, it could be specified like -f rebrickable or -f brickset, which feels more intuitive.

Improve repo organization

Everything's thrown into the main directory, this should be organized into subdirectories a bit better.
