base-runner

Orchestrate multiple instances of base-methods at once.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm i base-runner --save

Usage

var runner = require('base-runner');
var Base = require('base');
var base = new Base();

Register the plugin

base.use(runner());

With the plugin registered, you can now call the .runner method with the name of the "configfile" to search for (e.g. verbfile.js, generator.js, assemblefile.js, etc):

base.runner('configfile.js', function(err, argv, app) {
  // `err`: error object
  // `argv`: command line arguments, parsed by minimist and pre-processed
  // `app`: instance of `base` with configfile.js invoked
});

Example usage

base.runner('generator.js', function(err, argv, app) {
  if (err) throw err;

  app.cli.process(argv, function(err) {
    if (err) throw err;

  });
});

API

Params

• configfile {String}: The name of the configfile to initialize with. For example, generator.js, assemblefile.js, verbfile.js etc.
• callback {Function}: Callback that exposes err, argv and app as arguments. argv is pre-processed by minimist then processed by [expand-args][]. The original argv array is exposed on argv.orig, and the object returned by minimist is exposed on argv.minimist. app is the resolved application instance to be used.
• returns {undefined}

Example

base.runner('verbfile.js', function(err, argv, app) {
  // handle err
  // do stuff with argv and app

  app.cli.process(argv, function(err) {
    // handle err
  });
});
