                          --title="Test Article" \
                          --slug="test_arcticle" \
                          --element paragraph='some text' \
                          --element metadata_title='some more text'

Might result in:

OPTIONS

• --type
  
Element class of story to create
• --title
  
Title of the story
• --slug
  
Slug for the story
• --site
  
The url of the site the story will live in. Defaults to the first site found.

    --site "mysite.com"

• --category
  
The path of the category the story will live in. Defaluts to the root category in the site. If the category doesn't already exist it will be created.

    --category "/foo/bar"

• --element
  
Takes a name/value pair and adds the named element to the story with the specified value. This option can be used mutiple times to setup multiple elements.

If the element you are trying to setup uses an Array or a Hash as it's data store you can just format your data to look like a Perl Array or Hash:

    --element foo="[1, 2, 3, 4]"

    --element bar="['one', 'two', 'three']"

    --element baz="{ asd => 1, qwe => 2 }"

If this is what you want, make sure to start and end your value with the right opening and closing tokens (ie, either [] or {}).

If the element's name ends with _date then we will convert it into a Time::Piece object and assume the date is in the format DD-MM-YYYY.

    --element start_date="12-03-2009"

If the element's name ends with _time then we will convert it into a Time::Piece object and assume the date is in the format HH:MM.

    --element start_time="14:30"

If you need to handle a nested element then you can use a special syntax wrapping your data in angle-brackets <>. The data inside of the angle-brackets is syntactically treated as a Perl Hash which is used to create and fill any child elements. We only handle the case of nesting 1 level deep. Anything else is more complicated than this script can handle.

    --element complex_element="< child_1 => 'foo', child_2 => 'bar' >"

• --media
  
If you want to specify Media objects to be added to the story you just give it the name of the child element and then the filename of the media object:

    --media audio="itchyscratchy.mp3"

• --story-link
  
If the element you want to add is a Story Link you can specify the story's id or uuid:

    --story-link more_info="123"
    --story-link more_info="FA47EA5C-0F23-11DE-9999-71D3CB6E427A"

• --preview
  
Flag that causes the story to be published to preview as well as to the normal publish path.
• --cover-date
  
The cover date in the format DD-MM-YYYY.
• --story-uuid
  
If you want to edit an existing story instead of creating a new one, you can specify the Story's uuid. If you do this than any --type, --category or --site arguments are ignored.
