base-cli

Plugin for base-methods that maps built-in methods to CLI args (also supports methods from a few plugins, like 'base-store', 'base-options' and 'base-data'.

Adds a cli method to base for mapping parsed command line arguments existing base methods or custom functions.

The goal is to simplify the process of settings up command line logic for your base-methods application.

Install

Install with npm

$ npm i base-cli --save

Usage

var cli = require('base-cli');
var base = require('base-methods');
var app = base();

// register the `cli` plugin with [base-methods][]:
app.use(cli());

API

This adds a cli object to base with the following (chainable) methods (base.cli.*):

• .map() - .map: add mappings from command line flags/options to custom functions or base methods
• .alias() - .alias: similar to map but creates simple aliases. For example, alias('show', 'get') would invoke the .get() method when --show is passed on the command line
• .process() - .process: once all mappings are defined, pass argv to .process() to iterate over the mappings, passing argv as context.

Example

var expand = require('expand-args');
var argv = require('minimist')(process.argv.slice(2));
var base = require('base-methods');
var cli = require('base-cli');

var app = base();
app.use(cli());

app.cli
  .map('foo', function(key, val) {
    app.get(key, val);
  })
  .map('bar', function(key, val) {
    app.set(key, val);
  })

app.cli.process(expand(argv));

// command line args:
//   
//   '--set=a:b --get=a'
//   
// prints:
//   
//   'a'
//
