library0.5.0jsnpmunverified

Plugin for base-methods that maps built-in methods to CLI arguments, supporting methods from plugins like base-store, base-options, and base-data. Current stable version: 0.5.0. Release cadence: infrequent, no recent updates. Key differentiators: simplifies setting up command line logic for base applications by adding a cli object with .map(), .alias(), and .process() methods. Alternative: base-config for declarative configuration.

Verified usage

cli
✓ const cli = require('base-cli');
✗ import cli from 'base-cli';
Package is CommonJS-only; no ESM exports. Use require().
app.use
✓ app.use(cli());
✗ app.use(cli);
cli is a function that returns a plugin function; must call cli()
app.cli
✓ app.cli.map('get', (key, val) => app.get(key, val));
✗ app.cli.map('get', app.get);
Must wrap in function to preserve context

Demonstrates registering base-cli plugin, mapping CLI flags to base methods, and processing argv.

const cli = require('base-cli'); const Base = require('base'); const app = new Base(); app.use(cli()); app.cli .map('get', function(key, val) { app.get(key, val); }) .map('set', function(key, val) { app.set(key, val); }); const argv = require('minimist')(process.argv.slice(2)); const expand = require('expand-args'); app.cli.process(expand(argv), function(err) { if (err) throw err; });

gotchacli() must be called as a function, not passed directly to app.use().
fix
app.use(cli()) instead of app.use(cli)
affects: >=0.0.0
gotchaMap callbacks lose context; must use function or arrow to access app.
fix
Use app.cli.map('get', (key, val) => app.get(key, val));
affects: >=0.0.0
Errors
Common errors & fixes
