smartcli

nodejs wrapper for CLI related tasks

Buildstatus/Dependencies

Install the package

npm install smartcli

Usage

this plugin tries to establish some logic in which CLI tools work.

take the following commandline input:

mytool function argument1 argument2 --option1 option1Value --option2 option2Value

• 'mytool' obviously is the tool (like git)
• function is the main thing the tool shall do (like commit)
• option is an option you can add (like -m for message)
• optionValue is the referenced option value (like a commit message)

var smartcli = require("smartcli");

//returns true for terminal command "node myjs.js jazz"
smartcli.checkCommand('jazz'); 

/**
* returns an object for terminal command "node myjs.js --myoption something" like so
* {
*   name: 'myoption',
*   specified: true,
*   value: 'something'
* }
*/
smartcli.getOption('myoption');
