Commander.js VS Bit

Visit the Commander.js reference.

In the previous article, I looked at a Commander to configure and accept cli options and assign it to a variable called program.

You can write a command line utility using zx or commander.js. Hit a public api, spit stuff out in the console, etc.

In your index.js you can do whatever you want, even create an interactive CLI (check commander).

There is clearly a whole load of repetition, so this should be fairly easy to build and parameterise. Essentially this will all just be string building so we won't need to use any particular libraries for most of this script. We will need a way to call ffmpeg though - and ffmpeg will need to be present too, of course. To call a CLI command we can use the package commander.

Commander.js is an NPM package that makes it easier to build CLI tools. You can find its documentation over here

You can also use npm package commander to make more complex command line tool with lot of options and sub commands.

commander - npm - Required. A library that lets you define the commands and their arguments, options, help, etc.

Throughout my time writing and updating my static-site generator, I've been using npm from the very foundation I use an npm package called commander. Therefore, it is obvious that for the tool that I will be using to publish my ssg, I will do so with npm.

The command line has thousands of tools, such as awk, sed, grep, and find available at your disposal that cut development time and automate tedious tasks. Creating a command line tool in Node.js isn't very complicated, thanks to a powerful library like Commander.js.

Our demo solution was built using Bit, which allows us to create shareable components, render component “previews,” generate component docs, and so on.

UI libraries come with their own set of challenges, which greatly limit their effectiveness. These challenges stem from more fundamental problems related to code sharing and reuse. Let’s explore some of these challenges and examine how a new entity, the Bit component, addresses them.

The following diagram showcases how bit shows the dependency graph of modified components and their dependents.

This tutorial demonstrates how to build a micro frontend application using Vite and Bit.

Bit: A next-generation build system for composable software.

Bit drives a paradigm shift in the way we structure our software and collaborate on code. Its component-based approach produces more maintainable projects and more effective collaboration. However, the power of Bit is best harnessed when you adopt a certain mindset. This blog aims to guide you through the core principles and methodologies of building software with independent Bit components.

And one such tool that I've found that supports this component-driven approach is Bit.

This blog will explain how Bit can be used to implement any architecture and transform “fatal” decisions that seem too hard to change into decisions that are easy to make and change.

Oh can I address theses issues. I already looked at tools like Nx or Bit, but they aren't matching our needs with closed source libs.

To begin, you need to prepare your environment. A few ways to build a React package include tools like Bit, Storybook, Lerna, and TSDX. However, for this tutorial, you will use a zero-configuration bundler for tiny modules called Microbundle.
