@google-cloud/typeless-sample-bot NPM

typeless-sample-bot

This bot will automatically convert sample snippets written in TypeScript into JavaScript sample snippets. This lets you focus on writing TypeScript samples instead of having to do only JavaScript, or having to maintain both.

Installation

You will want to install this library as a globally-available, standalone binary.

npm i @google-cloud/typeless-sample-bot -g

Usage

The bot can convert single files or an entire tree of files. In the latter case, it will attempt to guess which files are actually snippets before doing anything with them.

For individual files, you can specify them as targets:

typeless-sample-bot --targets file1.ts,file2.ts,etc

The output will be written with the same filename stem, but a js extension.

You can also ask for recursive processing:

typeless-sample-bot --targets samples --recursive

Note that -t may be an array, still, for processing multiple recursive trees.

Various utility flags are also available:

# turn on verbose output
typeless-sample-bot --verbose

# turn on full debug output
typeless-sample-bot --debug

# turn off ANSI colour/emojis
typeless-sample-bot --no-art

Options

Option	Description	Default
targets	List of target files or directory trees	Required
recursive	If set, targets will be directory trees processed recursively	False
verbose	If set, verbose output will be enabled	False
debug	If set, full debug output will be enabled	False
art	If set, ANSI colour and emojis will be used in the command output	True, use --no-art to cancel
