conf VS listr

Wow. There is even one package to not use a JavaScript object: https://www.npmjs.com/package/conf

info on XDG: [the XDG spec](https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-...)

tools that respect XDG, for fellow JS CLI developers:

- https://github.com/davidtheclark/cosmiconfig Find and load configuration from a package.json property, rc file, or CommonJS module. [Check `searchPaths` to implement XDG spec compliance.](https://github.com/davidtheclark/cosmiconfig/issues/152)

- Sindre's libraries use [`env-paths`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/env-paths#pathsconfig) to get paths compliant with this.

- https://github.com/sindresorhus/conf simple config storing (maybe try [conf-cli](https://github.com/natzcam/conf-cli) to manipulate if needed) the successor to [configstore](https://github.com/sindresorhus/conf#how-is-this-different-f...)

- https://github.com/jonschlinkert/data-store conf like datastore but in the shclinkerverse

Now, we implement history feature through which we can view the lastly created password through the -h or --history flag. For this purpose we use conf package. But first, let's create the flag feature. We use process.argvfor this purpose, process.argv is an inbuilt API used to get the arguments passed via command line like -h. We will slice it to remove the first two indexes of it to get relevant data only.

conf:This package allows us to save persistent information on the user’s machine. We will be using it to save the user’s todo list

I’m gonna make a console based application, asking user to make some choices, kicking off some async tasks, giving feedback etc. I’ve found inquirer and listr for handling part of this.

Major shoutout to listr + listr2 for being the motivation and visual inspiration for Tasuku, and for being my go-to task runner for a long time. I made Tasuku because I eventually found that they were too structured and declarative for my needs.

Remember the IF ELSEIF we had setup for arguments? Let's add a --help argument that lists out all the commands. Lists are a very important part of CLIs. I'm using a helpful package listr to handle these lists. Let's add the following code into our file in the place where we have our IF checks.

Basic things you should learn: - Dom manipulation - Http calls - Rxjs/promise - server side/ client side js - how frameworks use it - write script with listr (https://github.com/SamVerschueren/listr)
