bash-require v1.0.0

bash-require

An attempt at making a require style package system work with BASH scripting.

Example Usage

For the top level script that you with to make use of this, first create a package.json file as you would by launching npm init. Once this process is completed, install the bash-require package using the following command:

npm install bash-require --save

Then start writing your shell script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# bootstrap the bash require environment
source $(dirname $0)/node_modules/bash-require/index.sh

As an example, try taking the bash-colorize package for a spin:

First install the package (I'll publish it to NPM once I've worked out whether this is a good idea or not):

npm install DamonOehlman/bash-colorize --save

The write your script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# bootstrap the bash require environment
source $(dirname $0)/node_modules/bash-require/index.sh

require colorize

echo -en "$(colorize red)Hello $(colorize yellow)There!\n"

Then take if for a spin:

chmod a+x test.sh
./test.sh

All being well, you should see something similar to what is shown below:
