|
## 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)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### The inner organization of smartcli
|
|
**smartcli** exposes three major groups of functions:
|
|
|
|
* check functions
|
|
* are grouped in **smartcli.checks** object
|
|
* get functions
|
|
* are grouped in **smartcli.get** object
|
|
* async interaction functions
|
|
* are grouped in **smartcli.interaction** object
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var smartcli = require("smartcli");
|
|
|
|
/* -------------- Check Functions -------------------*/
|
|
//returns true for terminal command "node myjs.js jazz"
|
|
smartcli.check.command('jazz');
|
|
|
|
/**
|
|
* returns an object for terminal command "node myjs.js --myoption something" like so
|
|
* {
|
|
* name: 'myoption',
|
|
* specified: true,
|
|
* value: 'something'
|
|
* }
|
|
*/
|
|
smartcli.get.option('myoption');
|
|
```
