=====

|
**Why?** Some of us are not only programmers but also part-time artist. So am I. This is good. However, to limit myself
|
||
|
|
a bit to a straight look of my CLI apps, I've created ascli based on the thought of not making things too fancy but
|
||
|
|
still looking good. So, basically, this package is meant to be used by me but if you like my interpretation of
|
||
|
|
unobtrusiveness and ease-of-use ... You are welcome!

Installation
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
`npm install ascli`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Usage
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
var cli = require("ascli")("myAppName");
|
||
|
|
cli.banner(ascli.appName.green.bold, "v1.0.0 by Foo Bar <foobar@example.com>");
|
||
|
|
cli.log("Hello!");
|
||
|
|
cli.info("World!");
|
||
|
|
cli.warn("of");
|
||
|
|
cli.error("ascli.");
|
||
|
|
// If it worked:
|
||
|
|
cli.ok("It worked!", /* optional exit code */ 0);
|
||
|
|
// If it didn't:
|
||
|
|
cli.fail("Nope, sorry.", /* optional exit code */ 1);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Using another alphabet
|
||
|
|
By default ascli uses a modified version of the **straight** ASCII alphabet. If you don't like it, you are free to
|
||
|
|
replace it:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
cli.use("/path/to/my/alphabet.json");
|
||
|
|
// or
|
||
|
|
var myAlphabet = { ... };
|
||
|
|
cli.use(myAlphabet);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the `alphabet/` directory for an example.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Using colors
|
||
|
|
ascli automatically looks up and translates ANSI terminal colors applied to the title string. For that it depends on
|
||
|
|
[colour.js](https://github.com/dcodeIO/colour.js) which is also exposed as a property of the ascli namespace:
|
||
|
|
`cli.colour` / `cli.colors`. Also means: You don't need another ANSI terminal colors dependency.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### Indentation
|
||
|
|
`cli.log` etc. indents all console output by one space just because it looks better with the banner.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Parsing command line arguments
|
||
|
|
------------------------------
|
||
|
|
[opt.js](https://github.com/dcodeIO/opt.js) will be pre-run on the `cli` namespace and also exposed as `cli.optjs()`.
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
cli.node // Node executable
|
||
|
|
cli.script // Executed script
|
||
|
|
cli.opt // Options as a hash
|
||
|
|
cli.argv // Remaining non-option arguments
|
||
|
|
