ToolDog (TOOL DescriptiOn Generator) aims to generate XML template for Galaxy or CWL from the description of tools from Bio.tools.
You need Docker to be installed on your computer in order to perform the code analysis step of ToolDog.
You can then install ToolDog using pip with the following command:
install tooldog
ToolDog supports import either from bio.tools or from a local file (downloaded from bio.tools in JSON format). It can generates XML for Galaxy and CWL tool but also annotates existing ones (only support XML so far…).
e: tooldog [-h] [-g/--galaxy] [-c/--cwl] [-f OUTFILE] biotool_entry
To import from bio.tools, specify the biotool_entry with its id or by specifying the version with the following format: id/version:
dog --galaxy integron_finder > integron_finder.xml
You can also use local file downloaded from bio.tools API by giving its name directly:
dog --galaxy integron_finder.json > integron_finder.xml
