CLI Builder

Build your own cli with automatic unit tests for each command you create

For more details check out: More Details

Installation

npm i -g @lfaler/cli-builder

Generate a CLI directory

cli-builder create <project-name>

// Name => The name of your package json
// Title => The name of your project
// commndName => The command to run your cli

npm install

Generate new command file

npm run new-command <command-name>
// File generated in ./actions/sources/commands/<command-name>.js

The things to keep in mind is it auto generates shorthand aliases for your command names. Your command names must be in camelCase and the start letter and the capital letters for your commands must all be unique for the aliases to work.

This means: No:

npm run new-command newWebRedux // nwr
npm run new-command newWebReducer // nwr

Yes:

npm run new-command newWebRedux // nwr
npm run new-command newWebReduxReducer // nwrr

Command with Options in CLI

// Options look like '--startLine=0'
// Option Flag: --<YOUR-OPTION-NAME>=<YOUR-OPTION-VALUE>
<YOUR-CLI-COMMAND-NAME> <YOUR-COMMAND> <arguments-you-created> --<YOUR-OPTION-NAME>=<YOUR-OPTION-VALUE>

Run Tests

npm install
npm run test

Example CLI

cd example
