Why use Scriptails?

With scriptails you can easily build CLIs tools for your project, company or organization. You might want to use Scriptails if:

• You need to build some advanced scripts to perform repetitive tasks on your project.
• You have a complex deployment process and you need to simplify this.
• You want to automate some things.

Getting started

Install scriptails using yarn or npm:

yarn add scriptails

Or

npm install scriptails

Let's start creating our index.js and our first command.

const { start } = require('scriptails');

require('./my-frist.command.js');


start(process.argv, {
    name: 'my-cli',
    description: 'my cli description',
    version: '1.0',
});

Note: In the 3rd line we import our command file, the scriptails the commands must be imported before the start function, if you import/require them later it is very likely that you will have problems running it.

Now we will declare our first command within the my-frist.command.js file

const { command } = require('scriptails');

command('first', (command) => {
    command.option(['-D', '--debug'], null, 'Set debug mode', false);
    command.onAction((ctx) => {
        const isDebug = action.getOption('debug').toBoolean();
        if(isDebug) {
            ctx.log("Debug is On");
        }
        ctx.logWithLabel("success", "Hello world, with label");
    })
});

Finally run your new CLI using:

node index.js first
