vvakame / commandpost Goto Github PK

In the fly CLI, we have a command named test (like fly test).

We also have a "global" option to specify and environment -e, --env <value>.

The issue is if you do fly -e test other_command, commandpost thinks test is the command, not the value of the env option.

I have been hard-pressed to get the text passed into description to display:

            let root = commandpost
                .create<any, any>("")
                .version(this.pkg.version, "-v, --version")
                .description("This is a fancy program that does neat things.");
               // ...
            commandpost
                .exec(root, this.process.argv);

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

I'd like to do some parsing of a string option before it gets to my runner method. Right now, this requires that I create an interface to accept the string list, then a second interface to hold the parsed result. I'd like some way of passing a function to mapper with the signature (values: string[]) => T, and have that function called before the action is invoked.

I am getting the following error:

TypeScript error: node_modules/commandpost/index.d.ts(1,15): Error TS2307: Cannot find module './lib'.

When compiling a project that has indirect dependencies on commandpost. Is it possible to express this path in a different way? I am not sure it is a commandpost issue, but I have no idea of how to get rid of it otherwise.

Is there any way to receive commands in any order? For example, it would be nice to be able to do something like this:

$ node index.js --port 1234 server --uglify -inspect

Currently only this works:

$ node index.js server --port 1234 --uglify --inspect

Commandpost doesn't allow the user to pass a root option AFTER the subcommand.

For example, if I have a root option --user and a subcommand download, then it needs to be passed like this:

$ myapp --user me download # Works

But it would be great if the user could do this instead:

$ myapp download --user me # Currently Fails

It seems fairly common to allow the command to come first (like in git and commander). Could you please allow this in commandpost too?

Is it possible to setup a callback for missing required parameters? Right now, it shows a stack trace, by default. I would have to catch and parse the error message if I wanted something custom, right?

If this doesn't exist, my hope would be for something like this:

            let newTemp = root
                .subCommand<INewCmdOpts, INewCmdArgs>("new <item>")
                .description("Generate a thing from an item.")
                .option("-n, --name <name>", "a description")
                .optionError((oName, errType, defaultMsg): string => customMessageIfAny)
                .commandError((cName, errType, defaultMsg): string => customMessageIfAny);

Thanks in advance.

Could you please expose the Command (and any other publicly-usable model) to import? I wouldn't mind something like this:

import * as cp from 'commandpost';

setupOneCmd(): cp.Command {
  // make and return a cp.Command
}

Thanks!
