Alpha version, API subjected to change
Tool for easy and programming language-agnostic command-line interfaces for executing commands.
It's built to provide accessible and extensible interface to building projects, running tests,
managing deployments and so on, without relying on poor tools like npm scripts.
It offers domain-specific language - configuration file containing lines with commands like:
myEcho :: value = "World" -> echo Hello $value
that can be executed using
cli-file myEcho resulting in Hello World
or
cli-file myEcho John resulting in Hello John
Any shell command can be called that way.
By default cli-file looks for a file commands.cli in current directory.
That is the file containing configured commands.
Syntax:
- Command without any arguments:
myEcho -> echo Hello World - Command with required argument:
myEcho :: value -> echo Hello $value - Command with optional argument:
myEcho :: value = "World" -> echo Hello $value - Command with multiple arguments:
myEcho :: first, second = "World" -> echo $first $second - Comment (only on newline):
# This is comment
At this point cli-file doesn't support default values longer than one word (on TODO list).
cli-file substitutes only known $param names, therefore if there is any conflict between a parameter name,
and shell variable, just use different name for the parameter.
-c <file location>or--commands <file location>- change default commands file location (e.g.cli-file -c /tmp/commands myEcho John)-hor--help- (needs to be first) show help-vor--version- (needs to be first) print version
